Jolida JD100. How good is it?

Muralman1, You flatter me! An investigator by trade? That gave me a good laugh. Im just a crazed obsessive music lover that insists on getting the sound I want just like the rest of you guys! Actually Im a well known Artist (painter) in my state. My brother is better known nationally and writes classical music reviews for the American Record Guide and the british publication Tempo. He is the one who infected me with the "Super system stereo bug". I managed to shake off the bug until I found Audiogon and now I have a full blown case of upgraditis.I think I caught reading you guys! I have put apogee on my short list should I look at speakers. Supposed to be a great speaker for Classical Music.

Well well well, and my handle is Muralman.

Today I hosted a Triangle speaker/Levinson/Electrocomaniet/OTA owner. Long ago he use to have Quads. We played the Kinks, and the Greatful Dead he brought. He went away planning to get Quads again, and a Jolida 100.

I have been following this thread because my next purchase will most likely be the Jolida JD100...
and not owning one yet I had nothing to add of interest until the discussion of Apogees arose...
I too, up until last year was on a mission to satisfy my obsessive quest for the speakers of my dreams...
I had thought that ultimately they would be speakers that would be priced way out of my league..
but had not, after owning perfectly acceptable speakers, and auditioning some others , found any that
moved me as I needed to be moved. I,too, am a classical music lover and attend live symphony often to have a good reference....
Muralman1 responding to a post of mine and waxed poetic about Apogees and their ability to convey
the emotion of instruments...
As luck would have it (long story) without even an audition I wound up with a pair of the Apogee Stages.
It was my lucky day....As one who always worries that just around the bend there may be a better amp...
or a better CDP or a better cable..(I can obsess with the best of 'em)..I have to say that since owning these Stages for almost a year now...I have never once entertained the thought of replacing these speakers...
I truly think If I ever did it would be to just go up the chain within the Apogee line...
They take some care ....but they reward you with blissful sound and musical satisfaction beyond description......

Apologies for hijacking this thread off-topic....

Allegro, Thanks for the feed. Classical Music is probably the true test for a speaker. There is tremendous demand on the speaker to get so many different lines and instruments correctly. A literal smorgasboard of sounds and harmonies. I did fing some apogees for sale but they didnt want to ship them---just selling if you can pick up. Probably a major pain to box and ship. Thanks for the insight! They are on my short list....
