Cheap Panels...MMG's or Apogee Centaur Minors??

I vote for the Apogees too; the Forte Model 4 amp is a perfect match for them, and replacement ribbons (and woofers) are available. The current output available from the Forte amp (Class A too) will really allow the Apogees to sing.

Thanks everybody. It looks like it's unanimous. The seller is Toys From The Attic and they're asking $599. I'm told that they're in "excellent" condition. This seems like it's on the high side (pricewise), but maybe it's worth the extra $$ buying from a trusted source like TFTA.

Is this reasonable??

Thanks again everyone.

Definitely go with the Apogees although I think you might want to consider going for a pair of Duettas. I have seen them as low as $600 this year. Here is the URL for the Apogee users group:

I've never seen Duettas in great shape sell so low. I just sold a mint Stage for $1200 and there was a buyer for $1400 in the wings. It may be a blue moon before you can get a mint full range Apogee for $599. Just last year I saw someone buying a Centaurus for a thousand. I'd say go for it.

I do have excellents results with a pair of FINAL 0.3 (hybrids) purchased direct last summer for $1200.00. Give them a try.
Best of luck,
