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 but once you go to a ribbon mid-bass and ribbon bass panel the coherance, detail and soundstage become real. I was never a fan of soundwise, trying to get a cone woofer to seemlessly match with a ribbon tweeter. Make the move to a full ribbon Caliper or Duetta Signature or Diva or Studio Grand it will change your listening life! Very little else out there comes close...
