Magnepan 3.6r or Apogee Divas?

There is a pair of Apogee Diva's (and coincidentally Duetta 2's) nearby for sale. I have just heard the Magnepan 3.6r in an excellent room with new Macintosh 501 monos (sounded excellent). However, I do not have experience with the Diva's or Duetta's. How sonically comparable are these speakers (Maggie vs. Apogee) in your exerience? Is service a problem for the Apogee's now they are no longer in production? Thanks to all for your advice!

Aloha from Hawaii.

I am looking for a pair of Apogee myself, to buy. I just posted an ad on AudioGon looking for some.

Apogees are known to be hard to drive, but many more recent high current solid state amps can do the job. Bi-polar amps rather than Mosfet.

See www.apogeeribbons.com and www.apogeespeakers.com for info on repairs, models, etc. Condition is a key issue in the speakers you are considering.

Hope that helps. Where are you located? Feel free to email me at: [email protected]

Aloha
