Moving from cone speakers to a set of Apogee Duetta Signature speakers has shown me that there is value to be found in old equipment, for sure. There is certainly more than one way to skin this cat ... I went for the high power SS route with lots of tubes in front of it.
System strengths: natural timbre, musical, transparent with amazing soundstaging, dynamic, good PRAT, no fatigue from CD or vinyl. This is as good as I've heard in many rooms.
Nice setup. I’m getting my Duetta II Signatures completely redone starting with Graz’ newest ribbons in a couple months by Bill Thalman @ Music Technology. I’ve loved these speakers since my dad bought them new and always see myself with full range ribbon speakers. They’re fast and natural sounding gems producing waves of powerful energy!
