Tube amps with Apogee Scintilla's your thoughts ?

The classic amp for the 1 ohm Apogees according to friends that attended CES and heard them demoed in stores were the legendary Krell KSA 150, KSA 250, MDA 300, and MDA 500s. I've seen pictures with multiple 300s stacked up around the speakers. I doubt if even today any tube amp has enough current to drive them without some kind of compromise. If there is that would be one heck of a tube amp and I'm sure the tubes would have a very short life. Congrats on your Apogees. Too bad the unfortunate lawsuit by Magnepan shut them down. It is a shame that Magnepan didn't incorporate Apogees technology into their own speakers.

Stanwal,
It is my understanding that Magnepan successfully sued Apogee because of patent violations of Magnepan's ribbon technology. Apogee could not survive after this and I believe Magnepan got the right to use Apogee technology which they never have. I'm aware of the new company that is/are going to try to produce Apogees again. I would also assume they are aware of Magnepan's probable interest. You are correct in that the two speakers don't look similar at all. I don't know if the patent has run out. I would assume Magnepan would renew their patent. Magnepan's ribbon is a remarkable sounding work of art. I'm a big fan.
