Not far from being done... thought fellow Apogeans would probably like a peek.

Media rich report including quite a bit of HD video. Enjoy!

I think Your last comment was hitting the nail, so to speak.
A lot in their design is... well, too flimsy.

A part from that, I really like some of the designs on the amps.
To me it seems that amp builders have a lot of fun and also seem to combine fun with aesthetics and function.

hi justin

thanks for the very detailed summary. after i'm not registered in the ML-forum i answer here...

i have not been to the high end in munich this year but last year i was blown away by the Lansche-Audio Cubus speakers: http://lansche-audio.de/

have you heard the lansche audio cubus yourself? i don't think so because i'm pretty confident that you would have at least mentioned them

edit: in your thread in posting 114, forth picture, you can see the lansche cubus in the middle. where they just on display and did not sound?

i also listened to the avantgard speakers but didn't like them anywhere near the cubus'ses.

the cubus is in fact the only speaker i know that i maybe would even trade my apogees for

maybe because i don't know yet how a completely redone pair of scintillas can sound...


cheers, christoph

ps: when you're near liechtenstein (or austria or switzerland) sometime feel free to contact me for a listen at my place.

Thanks for the feedback Christoph. See post 115 for what Lansche was playing.

Now here's the disappointing bit - I walked in, took the photos, thought the Cubus looked great - and the speakers next to it - and walked out. Why? Didn't hear anything special.

Now that isn't because it was bad - TBH I can't remember the sound in that room... I think it was playing low level when I was there. They could well be very good. You know what it is like at shows. Had I walked in some other time... could be a very different story.

I'd take Trios/basshorns over Apogee Duetta Sigs in an instant - if I had the space for them. I don't. The AudioNecs too - and they are a lot more practical - and 88000 Euros - so maybe not!!!

Thanks for the invite - the same applies here...

Another Cubus pic... almost the same as the first:)
