Anyone know anything about the apogee speakers? Which ones are good and which ones are worth buying? My dad's friend has a pair but I'm not quite sure of the model. It sounds quite nice. They seem to be fairly cheap used. My dad's friend's looks like the duletta II. Its grey and more than 5ft high. Are these good? They sounded nice. I'm interested.

I asked my dad's friend and he comfirmed that it is indeed a duetta. I'm very interested now. For that price it seems too good to be true. but it is. Life is good. Anyone have comments on this little sucker?

Nice speaker, but quite demanding on the amplifier due to its very low efficiency, you'll need a pretty high-powered amp (at least 100W) to get a decent sound level out of them.

Soundwise, pretty darn nice, pretty much has the detail of electrostatics but a warmer sound balance and nice bass, but room setup is critical and the shop owner said it was a complete pain in the ass to get things right. If I were to say which headphone it sounded most similar to, it would be the Stax Omega II.

My advice? Buy'em and then spend the next few years building a system around them. There are very few speakers around today that can match them at any price.
