RE: Apogees and ethics - comments

You will hear a difference. I made the change from Apogee Cals to Eminent
Technologies LFt8 thinking I would not miss much but in reality I do. The
Eminents while quite nice at moderate to higher listening levels do not match the lower level detail and range that the Apogee speaker has. I tend
to believe this is also true with the Magnepan as well. ( I have owned
MMG, 1.6.3.6 maggie and Eminent Tech lft8 , and Eminent Tech lft6 over the
years). The apogee has been commented on many times of having little
dynamic compression at low to fairly high levels IMO. This has been noted
by many and tend to agree. I am sure the 3.7 Maggie you talk of as well
as other models can sound just fine but my experience was one of sudden
lack of dynamics. The apogee due to a much loser diaphragm give the
sound field a more realistic dynamic range. The construction using a
tigher diaphram in the Magnepan and Eminent Technology limits the
displacement and range of dynamics compared to this.
If I had the choice I would stick with the Apps..

Just my 2 cents..
