Apogee versus German Physics

Ramy, I am really envious of your system, I'd sure like to hear that set up.

Zane, did you ever have problems with your Apogees (Stage-based, I see)? I loved mine but one bass ribbon started buzzing and 2 repair attempts by Apogee at the time failed. I would seriously consider getting them again if I could be sure they were reliable. Just unmatched vocals and a sense of unparalleled "liveness". (Not too great soundstage or many details but that's an acceptable sacrifice for me.) Thanks. (Sorry to stow away on the thread.)

Rgs92. Only by being drunk, stupid,and playing Hendrix real loud. Next thing i new i was watching Jimmy setting his guitar on fire. No problem though. Ordered a new ribbon tweeter, install was easy, and they still jam today! Have never had any buzzing issues. I wish every audiophile had a chance to hear the ribbon!

Yeah, the App's really were miracle speakers. Someone should revive them full throttle. Even crappy old CDs from the mid-80s sounded great. I still remember listening to Santana, Woodstock, and my trusty old Time-Life 60s & 70s CDs and feeling like I entered the time tunnel. Old familiar studio recordings sounded like they were recorded live in concert. All this for around $3000.

Rgs92,
Somebody has!!! Check the "Apogee Speaker Users Website"
There are installers that use "Graz" ribbons and are available for most models. He has also developed a new model. Graz is located in Austaila, but there are installers within the US and Europe
