Mods to Apogee Scintillas?

Are any of you on the East Coast?

I could probably give a listen to the pair this gentleman has(forget which), as he has an absolute warehouse full of great equipment. As he was running down expensive stuff, he mentioned that he has a tremendous pair of Apogees in cherry that he cannot "give away" for $1500. He said no one is interested, to which I said, I might...

The reason I have always been curious is that once I heard the new Centaurs and was totally blown away. Not sure why I didn't buy them, as they were a pretty low cost speaker. People say the "real" Apogees are even better.

This Graz fellow who makes replacement ribbons seems to produce a product far superior to the original.

Get with Henry (the designer of the H2O amp) he has three pair of Apogees (Scintillas, Diva, Stage). I think those are the models. He is a great guy I am told and this would give you a chance to check out the amps and three different models of Apps. He lives in Virginia I think.

Yes, Graz's ribbons are better if and when we need them.

Henry Ho does live in Virginia, near Richmond. Henry is a gracious host, and loves to share his Apogees and amps.

I am planning on visiting Henry in two weeks. I have been told that his set-up is just awesome. I can't wait to bring my family to visit where I went to college ( Richmond) wink...wink

Thanks for the information, guys! Sorry I was a bit slow to respond, I just got back from a long weekend vacation.

I am going to look into these Apogees, and hope the guys who are selling them can arrange for me to hear them in addition to seeing them. If I do end up purchasing them, it looks like Henry will be having another come to purchase his amps.

Thank you again!
