| Apogee slant 8s compared to larger apogee models? I have owned 4 different pairs of Apogees... first the Centaurus, then the Duetta Signatures, the Calipers and now the Studio Grands. The hybrids like yours and the Centaurus models do offer a lot for the money compared to cone speakers or others ... | |
| Are interconnect cables worth $15,000? Great move Rccc and so true... on the cable switch! I am sure double blind cable tests would change many minds on the belief that expensive cables REALLY do SOUND BETTER. That is why audio magazines & reviewers do not endorse or practice this ... | |
| Apogee centaur mini... Having owned many pairs of Apogees... it is always advantageous to supply at least 100/wpc to any Apogee as the ribbon/cone hybrid can tend to place a difficult load on a lower powered amp. The mini is the mild exception but to get the sound you a... | |
| Dcs Verdi VS Verdi Encore That was not the case... Sony in their infinite wisdon in the late 90's decided to no longer supply laser assembly pickups to any other company which left Philips, Pioneer and Teac pretty much the suppliers and Phillips was the cheapest OEM suppli... | |
| Why are LCDs more popular than plasma? Price, Price, Price would be the reason... they are much cheaper to produce. | |
| Trouble with my Rel Storm III I had one of these and mine did the same thing... it was the driver in my case and had to be replaced. Try moving it around if possible while it is powered on to see if you get that gong sound. Mine did that as well so I had it repaired then sold it. | |
| Modify Threshold SA/2, or buy a Pass Labs X250.5? My Pass Labs X-350 really prefers balanced lines as the are definetely what Pass also recommends in the manual as well. They were designed that way with single-ended being second. Much higher gain as well is the benefit. | |
| Record Stores in Charlotte, NC? Pretty much a CD town (btw, what is vinyl?) so you won't have much of a hunt & kill here! | |
| APOGEE SLANT 6 placement is THE KEY! & of course good clean, strong amplification too would enhance..R. | |
| Nuvista vs Trivista integrated Amp? I have had them both and could tell no difference whatsoever between the two. They both sound impressive. The Nuvista unit is a much more attractive unit though in my opinion.Cheers,R. | |
| Krell KPS-20i vs. BAT VKD-5SE I have the Krell KPS-20i w/Delta 9 upgrade and I have yet to hear a player with better bass, resolution, rythym & detail... she was that far ahead of her time! Keep it, don't chase shadows! She makes red book CD's sound as good or better than ... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Apogee Diva, Scintilla, and Duetta Signatures beats all the aforementioned speakers hands down for soundstage, detail, clarity and depth+transparency.R. | |
| Denon DP-S1: any experience with it? I have the Denon DP-S1 & the DA-S1 D/A converter and the pair's sound quality is out of this world. Bleeding with incredible build quality and the red book perfomance is second to none. I am considering selling the pair at some point on Audigo... | |
| Sonus Faber Concerto Home. Had the S.F. Concertos for 2.5 years and the di-pole ribbon wonderous sound of Apogee loudspeakers bit me once again so I sold them and located a mint pair of Apogee Duetta Signature full rangle ribbons. Never looked back, by far one of the finest... |
