Apogee Acoustics Caliper,which amp?

Jason Bloom used Classe' amps designed by Dave Reich (the DR series: 6,7,8,9 and 10--the last called the "Ten" with an owner's manual stating it was a DR-10). The synergism was excellent with Apogees. BTW, Jason also used SYMO (Swiss) speaker cable exclusively; in fact, SYMO was sold almost exclusively by Apogee dealers specifically as a match for the speakers--I still use mine with a pair of Avalons. Jason also used Krell amps ocassionally, but was extremely partial to Dave's Classe' designs.

Sorry to say but I must agree with everyone on this one and say krell or classe are abut it

Tough speakers! but they shine with the Krell KSA250's or the old Levinsons! An uncle tried it with the older Carver, Perreaux, even the Mac and no luck! you need muscle in this speaker!

I'm really not a Krell lover, but I have to admit that a KSA300 is probably the best amp for these (or any other non-hybrid) Apogees. Don't like the Krells with other speakers I've owned or heard, but they do sound pretty good with Apogees. Good luck -- nice classic speaker -- replacement ribbons are now available from a chap in Australia. Check out the Apogee newsgroup. Good resource for owners of "orphan" speakers.

Agree on Classe (esp.) & Krell, both in heavyweight version (not discount amper. / 80 W, etc). In another vein, I spent a happy 2 yrs powering my Calipers with EAR 519 (albeit with upgraded capac/rs in the power supply). Phill is right about cabling: use clear and FAST and with monos, SHORT!
