So Many Apogees for sale, and so few takers

There seems to be a plethora of Apogee speakers for sale here on Audiogon lately. I've been regularly searching for used Apogees in my area for the last 2 years, and have seen few if any come up for sale. Yes, I finally snagged a pair of mint Duetta Sig's.

But all of a sudden there are more than several over the last few months, but the ad's seem to linger for a long time. I would think people would jump on these speakers - there are few speakers out there today that can do what these do, regardless of their age.

Signs of a withering economy?
Just a summer slump?

Baranyi, yes indeed, they do take a lot of amp. One amp that drives them surprisingly well is the Lazarus h1a, used as monoblocks.

I know a guy with a pair of Full Ranges that he bought new which he could be convinced to part with. To the best of my knowledge they're in perfect working condition. At 350 lbs. each they are massive, and they require beefy biamplification.

Hi Bob (Baranyi), I'm doing great and hope you are, too. Sorry to hear you weren't able to try the Lazarus, but so it goes, and I gather you gave up on the Apogee project. Anyway, stop by next time you're up this way, I'm open just about 24/7 :-)
