steven365 Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 SOLD Item Condition: Good Shipping Options: Pickup available and you can audition.,Shipping is available at agreed cost. Suburb or Town: Sydney Hills District State: New South Wales Payment Method: EFT, Cash on Pickup etc Reason for selling: Moved on Further information: Pair of Apogee Duetta Signature full range ribbon speakers in good condition. Incredible sound stage, openness and clarity on vocals. Totally outperforms Magnepan 3.7i. Have been well taken care of in a smoke and pet free environment. Never played loud, only normal listening levels, and all the ribbons are in perfect working condition, with no dings and no dents on them at all. Also included is a pair of bi-wired Symo speaker cables which have been considered as a perfect match for Apogees. Local pick up preferred but I can ship at buyer’s expense and risk. The speakers must lay flat for transportation, and a mini-van will be perfect for transportation use.

She helped me carry them home and she loves that wall of sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosco8 Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 (edited) You should mention that we have Graz up on the Sunshine Coast who is one of the formost experts and restorers on Apogee speakers in the world. I purchased new ribbons from him for my Slant 6's. Apogees typically take some grunt to drive and I have had wonderful results matched with a Sugden 90w @4 ohm, Parasound 315w @4ohms, Accuphase A70 120w @4 ohms and currently using a Bryston sst2 528w @4 ohm on the Slant 8. So suggest match with amps that can handle low ohm loads. Edited July 7, 2020 by Rosco8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 I have had numerous Apogee models in the past. If these had been in the West they would have been in my room by now. If I though they could be transported over here safely, I would be tempted but I don't know of any way that could be done. GLWS they deserve to be loved.

steven365 Posted July 7, 2020 Author Share Posted July 7, 2020 Thanks guys for all your interest. The Apogees have now found a new home! I probably will regret it one day but I’m glad that they will be in good hands. My affair with planars has now officially ended. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Want to get a vague quote for a realistic safe shipping cost to Melbourne? Thanks. Packing and shipping for these are very tricky. I purchased a pair and got shipped from Melbourne to Brisbane back 2005. From memory, I paid $350. They were wrapped up completely but still arrived with broken side panel and a crease in one ribbon but still worked. They are quite heavy and must be transported upright. Also, they are power hungry. Back then, only the Gryphon DM100 and the Krell KAS mono could feed them and they were unbeatable. GLWS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
