Click here for more information Apogee Acoustics were one of the very few builders of full range Ribbon speakers. Sadly the company was forced to close in 1998. This site is intended as a information resource for present or future owners of Apogee speakers I don't have any direct association with Apogee, but I have owned Stage's, Duetta Signatures along with a DAX3 and now Diva's. I believe Apogee's speakers to be without equal in terms of their realistic sound qualities and the ability to produce a 3-D soundstage along with bass that makes most cone speakers sound at best vague and 'one-note' If you have any information regarding Apogee models shown on this site, have any reviews which should be included - or if you wish to correct any information which may be incorrect - please e-mail me I would also appreciate system information from Apogee owners, which amps you have found work best with your speakers, tips on positioning and any useful upgrades you may have done to your speakers, etc Join our mailing list and get informed of updates and important Apogee news Enter your email address below, then click the 'Join List' button: Powered by ListBot My current system, favourite music & Hi-Fi history A big thank you to all the people who have e-mailed me so far.

Hi:
Have apogee stages,one speaker frame broken in moving.
Like to know any infornation on geting it repair.

I have a purchased a pair of Dali ikon 1 Mark 2 speakers and I'm more than happy with them for the price they offer a good degree of accuracy and respond well to my amplifier the Rotel ra-10.
during a manic drunk up session last week the speakers got accidentally turned up to 12 and this was too loud for my stereo, even with in the space of 1 minute the speakers had started sounding fuzzy and old.
on the advice of a contact over the Internet who informs me that there was a residual charge in the driver's which was affecting the performance I left the stereo off for 3 days and during this time which was for the charge to naturally dissipate they had magically repair themselves!I'm not sure but this may only apply to ribbon speakers.
I'm so happy I still have a stereo and I want to share this information with everybody because it could well save someone from throwing out a pair of speakers which could have been reused given a little bit of a rest.
