Nice Post By Graz - Apogee DEFINITIVE Driven By Low Powered Tube Amps

[User211]

Thinking of defecting to restored Duetta Sigs again, I wondered over to the Apogee forum, and found this rather nice post:

I believe this is the Graz responsible for http://www.apogeeacoustics.com/index.html

Just wish I was in the room to hear it!

Stop it, Graz...

He's certainly worked some magic on those speakers if they run on 25 watts...

The Apogee was always a fantastic speaker. Loved mine!

Can't say I groove the colour scheme. Low WAF too as rated by the wife. But yeah, that's way more efficient than the old Apogees for what is essentially the same technology. Some achievement indeed.

Hearing a pair over here is very hard. There's no Analysis importer, and just one chap in Birmingham who is Apogee's (Graz's) approved dealer.

Talked to them today, going to Los Angeles next month to hear them...

Can't wait!

I do sometimes miss the Apogee Divas I sold when I bought my Summits. Apogees can be so seductively musical with the right ancillary equipment.

Interesting....... first time I've seen portable heaters used for corner 'bass traps' !!

I dunno why but I feel a lot of respect for that Graz guy. Maybe because he is single handely keeping Apogee lovers alive. Gotta respect him for that.

It'd be great if you could give his product a mention, or better still a review in Tonepub. He's had close to zilsch exposure in the hi-fi press, at least over here.

Im going to go to Los angeles to listen for a day. I can at least give them a partial review. I'm sure they haven't received any exposure because being such a small mfr, they probably don't have the $$ to spare an extra set of them (and possible damage) for review.

But I'm a big fan of Apogee, so I'm looking forward to making the trip. We'll get something up on the web shortly thereafter. I'd love to help Graz get some more publicity. I talked to him once and he's a really nice guy that's taking a craftsman's approach to keeping this legendary speaker alive.
