$3,000 Planar Speakers

Someone posted a recommendation a month or so ago here regarding a planar speaker
that sells for approx $3-4k. I searched this forum but could not find it.

It was not a Magnepan

Please post that speaker again.

The Apogee Stage is also a giant killer of sorts

Apogee’s require an amp with some serious current delivery, and the ability to drive a 1 ohm load. You can forget about tubes in that case, Mitch, except perhaps the Music Reference RM-200 Mk.2.

Completely agree with bdp24. As part of my New Year's resolution, I'm planning on getting a pair of these.

Only early models like the Scintilla were serious 1 ohm loads. Later ones tended to be more like  manageable 3 or so.

I wouldn't try to pair th with a tube amp, but many SS amps will drive them well.
