| So Many Apogees for sale, and so few takers I think its the decision involved to invest extra $$$ into a amp that can drive the apogees if your present amp(s) do not have that capability;I will probally run into this when I try to sell my soundlab m2's. | |

| Amp blowing fuses can you see any signs of leakage or stress to any of the electrolytic caps;I would agree with Jea48 that it could be a shorted capacitor in the power supply circuit. | |

| Preamp Suggestions Themgs14 check out the CONRAD JOHNSON PV10AL Tube Preamp it is near your price range;might be worth investigating. | |
| Preamp Suggestions Themgs14 do you have any dealers near you so you could hear what tubes can do;have you heard any particular piece of equipment that you like? | |
