So Many Apogees for sale, and so few takers

There seems to be a plethora of Apogee speakers for sale here on Audiogon lately. I've been regularly searching for used Apogees in my area for the last 2 years, and have seen few if any come up for sale. Yes, I finally snagged a pair of mint Duetta Sig's.

But all of a sudden there are more than several over the last few months, but the ad's seem to linger for a long time. I would think people would jump on these speakers - there are few speakers out there today that can do what these do, regardless of their age.

Signs of a withering economy?
Just a summer slump?

Isn't Bob Carver releasing (unleashing?) a new line source?
These could be amazing!

whatever the intent of Viridian's post was, I find it to be the most realistic reason to the OP question.

Things have changed a bit from the 90s---most of the newer gear is more compact, more aesthetically pleasing, less of a box or panel, nicer woods, rounded shapes---even designed to look nicer without grills (ie nicer looking drivers)

Maplegrovemusic: I agree. That certain someone has had annoying posts on this site for some time. It doesn't bother me that they disagree with someone, but the manner in which they do that gets on my nerves. It seems the majority of that person's posts are very bitter. Frankly, I'm getting tired of reading them.

Devilboy/Maplegovemusic, You are absolutely righ and those who agree with that certain person are just as bed. All of their posts are purely negative and I don't need it.
