Magnepan 3.6r or Apogee Divas?

There is a pair of Apogee Diva's (and coincidentally Duetta 2's) nearby for sale. I have just heard the Magnepan 3.6r in an excellent room with new Macintosh 501 monos (sounded excellent). However, I do not have experience with the Diva's or Duetta's. How sonically comparable are these speakers (Maggie vs. Apogee) in your exerience? Is service a problem for the Apogee's now they are no longer in production? Thanks to all for your advice!

Mama, this is a startup company. A chasis builder of good quality has been secured, and they are now gearing up for production, which should begin in a month. A web site is awaiting pictures.

Some of us Apogee club members have been lucky enough to have procured hand made amps by Henry. I have the monos, and love them to pieces.

Mama,
Henry's number is 804-873-8974. He is in Virginia so he is in EST.

Thanks, this is very interesting. There's always been good sounding SETs and tube amps at this price point but never a high current musical ss amplifier for 2k. Actually there are hardly any musical high current ss amps at any price.

I am a Klipschorn addict but once demoed top of the line Apogee and found that soundstate was incredible. You could almost watch the people move across the stage as they sung the musical CATS. However, the subwoofer that was used with them could not even come close to the Klipschorn.
