Apogee & Tubes


Would a 50/w per channel tube amp be enough and a good compliment to Apogee Slant 6s? Normal listening is done at lower volumes and to softer rock and jazz

I say yes if the amp can handle a 4 ohm load you should easily drive the Slant 6's. I drove a pair of Centaur Minors and eventually moved up to a pair of Centaurs with the 8" woofer for several years with a Modified Dynaco Stereo 70. I used them in a room that was at least 13' x 16'. An open den and they were wonderful sounding. You will hear the essence of the equipment through the ribbon tweeter/midrange. I do caution you to know the limits of you speakers. If you overdrive the Ribbon(s) you will hear a faint flapping sound which bought about the suspension mods. If you don't take notice you could damage the ribbon. I believe all the Slant Series came with the suspension upgrades. But just in case you now know.
