You had better go or the quads, although the Apogee Centaur majors are phenomenal speaker they sound best with hybrid/ valve amps, they do not play well at low volumes but need to be played quite hard and loud. They also need to be bi wired for best effects and certainly will alienate you from your neighbours
Help! Apogee Centaur Major or Quad 998?
Hello all
I am in the final phase of selecting speakers for my budget system. Tough choice!
My music style is voice, instrumental/classical and oldies, Not too loud listening.
I appreciate your feedback on the speakers and the equipments.
1. Apogee speaker and Marsh 400s and 2000 preamp (seller's setup).
Or
2. Quad 998 and Quad mono and preamp (cost little more but they are newer equipments so I have more time to enjoy rather than sending them for repair if it breakdown)
Thanks for your feedback.
