Welcome to our forum.
OK...I sat in a Caldera Geneva today. That is a very nice spa. The only thing I didn't like was the head rest in the neck massage seat. Nice jet action/massage, very nicely powered, but the head rest is just awkward. Overall, I think the Caldera is very much what I want from a size standpoint, massage standpoint, and price. Now, the Caldera C45 is a new model that is a stripped down version of the Geneva. No lights, no circ pump, slightly smaller filter. Pretty much same mold and same jet positioning. Almost made him an offer today but wanted to do a little research on Caldera as I hadn't read as much about them as I had Hotsprings.
I'm probably gonna offer the guy $8000 for the Caldera Geneva. I saw 3 other people get that proce this year on a 2007. We'll see how badly he wants to sell me a spa.I figure between the Caldera or Hotsprings guys, one of the 2 will meet my price. I think both the Hotsprings Envoy and the Caldera Geneva are both excellent spas. PS...If you are a dealer and can't or wouldn't touch this price, I don't really need to hear about it. Your point is moot and falling on deaf ears. Go rip somebody else off.
Solo, did you like the Geneva better than the Envoy? Did you notice the the Geneva has more power in the jets department? Perhaps you should test drive the Tahitian since it has the lounger. They are the same spas except the Geneva doesn't have a lounge. Good luck with your purchase.
