Magnepan 3.6r or Apogee Divas?

Wrong. The maker is Virginia citizen, Henry Ho. Watch for upcoming
reviews.

The Apogee Diva is hard to beat, given any other speaker, other than other big Apogees. Terry is right in saying amps that can power the Diva are plentiful. Given the Diva is a 4 ohm speaker, it has always been fairly easy to find tube and solid state amps that can drive the, Now, with the advent of digital, the very depths of these grand speakers can be explored quite inexpensively. I have the much more difficult to drive Scintillas powered by $3k H2O monos. this is a marriage made in heaven.

Buy the Diva, put a couple of H2O amps behind them, and you will never look back.

No speaker is hard to drive with the advent of the $2k H2O. The best of all Apogees, IMO, is the 1 ohm Scintilla. That too is easy to drive.

Good point, Dkarmeli. I have bellowed against mods some Apogee owners have flocked to. As I stated above, the H2O is all an Apogee owner needs. It is based on the analogue module built by B&O. It's sound is akin to that of SET amps, but with a tiger in the tank.

Mama, this is a startup company. A chasis builder of good quality has been secured, and they are now gearing up for production, which should begin in a month. A web site is awaiting pictures.

Some of us Apogee club members have been lucky enough to have procured hand made amps by Henry. I have the monos, and love them to pieces.

The fact dynamic speakers are slower than ribbons, or panels, is why I don't use a sub woofer with my Apogees. They straight line down below 20Hz, anyway, so why bother?
