Apogee Full range

That's the only pair ever to appear at Scalford.

Here's the Liszt at Munich with the Sony. Some very nice Tron and TW gear too. Nice. But flawed, like everything, LOL. And a lot of money. A serious amount.

Seriously love the Tron and TW gear lookswise. And the orange horn on the Liszt is very pretty too.

it's a shame you couldn't have heard the prototype 810 amps that TW bought along,we could only listen to them after the show proper finished, they were spectacular, and I am not usually a great valve fan.

Jeez, you guys, LOL. It's Xmas already (maybe not, a week to go)
Let peace and love break out on WBF
 
Several posts removed/edited. Guys, no personal insults, take the high road.

Hmm, Lee, the high road, I can't see the objectivists and subjectivists agreeing on this one.

Lee, Keith and I banter - that was a quip, not an insult. You will find another post where he asks me to read up on how sound works

This is true Lee, you can quote TOS as much as you want but continued heavy handed moderation like this is making this forum extremely BORING! This goes for all moderating some of which goes on behind the scenes. You should accept that we are adults with individual personalities and have different ways of interacting with one another. Ked & Keith have always had their moments adding spice to their threads, why deny them now?

Guys at any time 90% of our readership is guests, not membership. Those guests will hopefully choose to join the forum at some point. One of the things that will do that is seeing a place that is not rough and people going after each other in their mind, not yours. They don't have the history that some of you have to know what is banter, and what is mean spirited treatment of other members. There are tons of way to be sarcastic and tease without it appearing to third-parties that it is more than that. If you need a lesson on that, I am happy to show you how! :D

And please note that our moderators are unpaid volunteers. The last thing they need to hear is criticism of enforcing the forum rules. The management takes a very dim view of folks going after them in any manner.

And that, is good common sense. ...Because it's the entire world who is listening and reading what we are saying and typing. :b
We are not in private we are in the public domain. How can we ascertain ourselves publicly by being read accurately by all...
We all know that we're all good, all the best, and we hope that everyone else knows it too. :D

So we all have to stop interacting naturally because of some lurkers that you don't even know nor contribute anything to the forum? Are you sure about what they like, some might actually prefer a more lax forum the way it was when I first joined. You'll get a different kind of people in a pussy forum, but if that's what you want...

Actually no one here is paid and everyone is volunteering their time and knowledge to the forum, why isn't that respected? As members many of us take a very dim view of deleting posts! Respect is a two way street treating adults like children and threatening with bold letter isn't going to work for most of us. I'm saying this respectfully, as a friend and for the good of the forum, don't delete posts and remember that we are independent adults!

I am saying this as a member and not a moderator. It is not wise to publically challenge ANY moderator decisions. The moderators usually make them as a team and we offer very generous latitude when it comes to posting. If one does not want something deleted, then do not post anything that is against the TOS of this forum. It's actually pretty simple.

Tom, it is perfectly fine and good for advancement to share our opinion with all. ...Moderators included, because them too are opinion people.
I am not an official mod but I am still a mod in my book of living life in balance. I am speaking to you as I would talk to me. :b
 
The problem now that parts are deleted is that people don't know what was discussed and deleted, and can assume the worst that there was a wild exchange of profanities around.
 
Modded by Henk from Netherlands, heard it as his client in frankfurt. Room 4m wide, around 4m space between panel and front wall, 6m. between speaker center and listening seat, and further space behind listener.

Streamed via Mac into Lyngdorf dac, lyngdorf being used for an active crossover to the bass, while top and mid had a passive crossover. Project Sphinx hybrid amps.

Nakamich TT with Vincent phono and Benz cart.

Nothing fancy in the set up except the speakers. The sound was magical. This was a midrange to die for, creamy and thick and full and real. The Schubert winterreise sounded the best I have heard after the WE. He wasn't into classical but still took down the pic of the LP to order it. Mahler 2 is the best I have heard with the Trios. While I was listening, the loud parts of the symphony came towards me like waves, they just kept coming towards me down the room. After we finished, the other guy too described what he heard as 'waves'. Amazing we were both visualizing the same thing. The soft parts of Mahler were equally delightful, with the flute and clarinet floating up creamily to the center.

The sound wasn't perfect, sometimes the bass was too thick, and there should have been more width for better imaging. Some songs it sounded unbalanced due to excess bass. The owner was an apogeephile, not an audiophile, so didn't care for warming up the system, positioning it perfectly, expensive electronics, etc. Yet I enjoyed this system much more than normal hifi systems I have been auditioning recently. Would I buy this over the MBLs, Wilsons, Focals and Vivids I have heard recently, with expensive electronics

It helped clear my mind. I just love the ribbon tone. Analysis Audio, this Apogee full range, I need to listen to a well set up Dali Megaline with subs.

And these restores are not expensive. I think Henk restores will cost from 10 - 15k GBP. The full range was the first of the apogee speakers made. The new definitives and the Advance 7 (USD $60k) that is coming out now is expected to be much better.

Gorgeous setup!

Did I miss the wild profanities ,did you use the 'S' word shunmook!

What pisses me off royally is when I got posts deleted (from another site), and I cannot find out which and why. And I certainly cannot talk about it.
But even worst than that is when I get banned for being insulted publicly. ...Not here, @ that other site.

Anyway, lovely setup (pictures) from your first original post (attachments).

"It is not wise to publicaly challenge ANY moderator decisions."???!!! You're printing in black text Tom but you're really writing as a moderator.

A complaint by a member isn't issuing a challenge nor is pointing out that the latitude of moderators has become too restrictive. Its up to you how you & other moderators view my post and see your role here, I'm sharing what the mood of many of us is these days.
