Buying Apogee Divas Now


I remember attending a HiFi show in London 20 years ago and hearing Apogee Divas for the first time. Probably the best speakers I have ever heard. I listened to another pair of Divas 10 years ago and the magic was still there. I am now contemplating purchasing a used pair on Audiogon or eBay. My question is threefold:

1. Do the Divas still compare favorably to todays high end speakers? I currently use B&W N801 in my main listening room driven by a Krell KSA-250.

2. When buying a used pair of Divas what do I need to look for to make sure they are in good working condition? Is it as simple as playing a demonstration CD?

3. How difficult are Divas to get serviced now that Apogee are out of business and do they require frequent service?

I am sure there are highend speakers with today technology compartible to the Diva... but you probably with have to pay $20,000 or more for such sound... IMO
