I’ve ran the 200s on Dunlavy SC-IVA since 1988 give or take. I also swap out my odyssey amps and go back and forth a lot. In the late 80s I worked in a Hifi shop, mostly what I did was sold Denon and nad and reconed jbl woofers, but we carried the apogee the Dunlavy and spectral lines. The 200s is amazing but the odyssey has a slight edge on the lowest octave Is what my ears and the last 18 years can hear. At lower volume on same speakers I prefer 300b set , it really just depends what sound your looking to get and what volume you want to obtain. In general back then most our high end customers would blind pick the 200 over the 100 if that helps. I’ve not used the mini grands , but have used with the diva , scintilla and stages I’m sure it would drive the mini grands well
Spectral and Apogee owners only please with full respect pertaining to this request
Hello,
I have a pair of Apogee Mini Grands, trying to build a Spectral system around this at a given cost since I do like to combination.
Not interested in trying anything else since I just sold my Ayer Pre and Monoblocks, Hovland Preamp along with the ARC Reference pre and powers and most of my Krell pieces.
*********
I would like to know which configuration would probably work best with my set up in your opinion. Spent much of my $$$ into getting my room beautified and treated acoustically and now this:
Option 1
Using
1 DMA 100 amplifier to drive the Stage Full Range
1 DMA 100 to drive the Minigrand Sub
Option 2
Using
1 Spectral DMA 200s to drive the Stage Full Range
1 DMA 100 to drive the Minigrand Sub
Option 3
Using (DMA 100 or 90)
1 Spectral DMA 100 amp to drive the Tweeter / Midrange of the Stage
1 Spectral DMA 100 amp to drive the Bass driver of the Stage
1 Spectral DMA 100 to drive the Minigrand Sub
Mated with Spectral DMC Preamp
I am aware that option 3 will require more $$$ for MIT Cables VS cost for DMA 200s so…………
Note: I live for resolution
Thanks
