So Many Apogees for sale, and so few takers

There seems to be a plethora of Apogee speakers for sale here on Audiogon lately. I've been regularly searching for used Apogees in my area for the last 2 years, and have seen few if any come up for sale. Yes, I finally snagged a pair of mint Duetta Sig's.

But all of a sudden there are more than several over the last few months, but the ad's seem to linger for a long time. I would think people would jump on these speakers - there are few speakers out there today that can do what these do, regardless of their age.

Signs of a withering economy?
Just a summer slump?

There are a couple other reasons. The Apogee forum is no more. It flamed out about 2 years ago. That forum led me to buy two pairs of Scintillas. Yes I happen to be that crazy! Another reason is that they are very fragile and there is only 1 source to buy ribbons (Graz.) You must also use one of his installers to bring your speakers back to life and that is an expensive proposition especially when you add on shipping.

I no longer have Scintillas but they are fantastic speakers. They take a lot of amp to make them sing.
