Apogee Diva

Legendary speakers from the early nineties. What do you think of them? Are they still competitive with contemporary speakers?

I think the owners are asking ridiculous prices for these near 20-year old speakers ($10k-12k is not uncommon). I've seen once a rebuild pair that was for sale. You had to pay... only $16k! Do you think this is still interesting? Chris

At least you must drive it with FM acoustics or Rey audio period !!

There is one pair in reconsidtioned form on sale at audiogon, an ecellent bargain. I drove my Divas with tubes using Jadis JA-500 and TUbe Research Labs.....awesome sound.
