Nearfield Acoustics Pipedreams

Sure...I owned the Duetta Signature many years ago. I bought them new. About the only thing that would drive them satisfactorily was Krell, so I owned Krell. They mated well and I loved the open sound of the Apogees. It was addictive. I think they were my favorite speakers.
Well, along comes Pipedreams and for the first time I got back the Apogee sound..open, fast,dynamic. I think I was surprised cones could do this. I also had Krell until recently..a holdover from my Apogee days. Don't get me wrong...good stuff, but the Edge is more graceful and relaxing..not as strident.
The difference in presentation between Apogee and Pipes is size and clarity. You also have a much bigger listening area. Now we also have powered subs that weren't around in the old Apogee days, so I have a greater frequency range coverage. Don't get me wrong..Apogees are great. I just think the Pipes are better in almost all regards..cleaner, as fast, more coherent, better soundstaging, and easier to mate with electronics. Bob

Anybody out there compared the Pipes to Epiphany Audio's speakers? I know Valin did like the smaller ones, but I was curious about the Pips 20 21's? Bob

Thanks Rkochies, I was leaning that way simply because of the amp demands that larger Apogees place on a system. Not to mention, w/ two 70lb playful dogs, the danger of a toy or one of them damaging a panel is fairly high.

can someone help me where can i get parts for my pipe dreams especially the drivers tweeters and midrange.
the model i have is the older version which has 30 tweeters and 15 midrange.

please help
