nope, they're just standing in a corner looking all lonely and pouting.

They sound & look great! Full bodied sounding ribbons! Detailed but real & natural sounding! The REL subwoofer blends in perfectly... couldn't hear it (a good thing). Imaging unbelievable... never heard Maggies or Martin Logans image like that!

Really nice job on the crossovers! Bob definitely has keepers! Lucky you have that monster McCormack amp... those Apogees need plenty of power; that's for sure!

Great job, Bob!!!

Audios,

Grant came over today and helped me set up my new babies correctly. He's had a lot of experience with his own Apogees and those little 1/2" differences really do make a difference with these finicky speakers.

But it sounds really good right now. :thumb:

Bob, You were already 90+% of the way there, all it took was that last bit of fine tuning. I agree, they really are "locking in" beautifully now... As any Apogee owner will tell you, they really appreciate the last iota of attention, and reward you royally for the TLC. Nice job Bob, I'm really pleased for you with how well they match your equipment (DNA 500 ='s warp drive power with a dash of tube) and how well they're integrating into your room.   Congratulations. Grant
