Apogee versus German Physics

Yeah, the App's really were miracle speakers. Someone should revive them full throttle. Even crappy old CDs from the mid-80s sounded great. I still remember listening to Santana, Woodstock, and my trusty old Time-Life 60s & 70s CDs and feeling like I entered the time tunnel. Old familiar studio recordings sounded like they were recorded live in concert. All this for around $3000.

Rgs92,
Somebody has!!! Check the "Apogee Speaker Users Website"
There are installers that use "Graz" ribbons and are available for most models. He has also developed a new model. Graz is located in Austaila, but there are installers within the US and Europe

I have to agree with Zane. I don't own the apogees but have owned several very highly regarded full range dynamic speakers.I have yet to hear a speaker that impressed me as much as the apogee.The transient response is nothing short of remarkable.I always kicked my ass I didn't buy that pair.

I've heard the Loreley at a fellow in Manhattan.Yes,they played loud,but had an oversized sound stage(possibly room related)and not so great high frequency extension.Great for Kodo drums.Not so great for other types of music.
That being said,they play LOUD,and no strain.I can easily see these lasting a few lifetimes.
Not up to the finest I have heard,unless you have many "RAP MUSIC" parties.Just an opinion.
Best!

this is addresed to sirspeedy.I have auditioned the loreleys in manhattan,the set up was extremly bad,primarily his cross over was set poorly ,poor amps,and like you said poor room.I know all of this because I purchased these speakers,and had the cross over adjusted for linearity and for my room.I am primarily classical music listener,with limited Jazz,this speaker can reproduce music with,imaging, speed ,clarity,and dynamics second to none.
