The Problem with the Apogee Centaurus Ribbon Monitors...

209.110.232.242

is very narrow vertical dispersion because of the ribbon being only 4" tall.

I had considered the Newforms myself because of the 30" ribbons with resulting better vertical dispersion, but settled on the Apogees for reasons including aesthetics and the WAF. The Apogees are excellent - very smooth and detailed without harshness, but the sweet spot is small. The bass is enough to give jazz string bass some real body, but not extended. The highs drop off drastically if I stand up from the sweet spot, but I can live with that, since I sit while listening, anyway.
