Mods to Apogee Scintillas?
The Agon member who is intimately familiar with Scintillas is Muralman1. Virtually all things relating to Apogee can be found at the following sites: http://audioworld.com/cgi-bin/sw/forumdisplay.cgi?action=topics&number=1 http://www.apogeespeakers.com/ Good Luck |
I have emailed Muralman1 at length and also post on the Apogee board. I thought by trying the Gon I might get a fresh perspective (which I did). Most of the people who are driving the Scintillas are now using the H20 amp which uses the Ice module. This amp is being made by a forum member Henry Ho just for the purpose of driving the most difficult Apogees. He uses Scintillas as his reference and this is the amp that I will most likely buy for this purpose. Muralman1 uses the monoblock version of this amp with amazing results. My Scintillas will be delivered tomorrow so I will be on pins and needles! I plan on visiting Henry in the next two weeks to hear what his amps can do for Scintillas. Bob |
Congratulations on the new speakers, Bob! Can you provide a little more information on the H20 amp please? Such as if Henry has a website, and what the cost of the amp is? I was presented with the opportunity to purchase a pair of Apogees over the weekend for a very reasonable price, and have been considering it, but wonder what a good partnering amplification choice would be. Thank you, Joe |
Joe Try this link for some pictures. http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=999&gid=3924042&uid=1034484&members=1 The mono's are around $3,000 I think? Also, a search at the Apogee forum under (ICE) and or (H20) will turn up info on these new digital amps from conception to finished design. http://audioworld.com/cgi-bin/sw/forumdisplay.cgi?action=topics&forum=Apogee+Acoustics+Users+Group&number=1&DaysPrune=45&LastLogin= Buy the way, what Apogee model do you have in mind?
