Description

I purchased my Apogee Duetta Signature ribbon speakers in 1991, and have spent the last 19 years building around them. They provide magical transparency, soundstaging, and musicality.  I have paired two matching Paradigm Reference Servo 15 subwoofers with the Duettas. The Duettas are powered by a pair of Bel Canto Reference 1000 Monoblock amps. I use the X-30 crossovers which come with the Paradigm's to make the subs work with the Duettas.

Nice system... There's nothing like the 3D you-are-there of full range Apogee ribbons... I also have D. Sigs and after 30+ years of enjoying this hobby I have found them to be the most rewarding speaker I've ever owned. Let me ask you: How far are they from the front and side walls? How about from each other? Room size? Do you use a separate crossover to split the signal to your subs first in order to "lessen the work" of the ribbon woofers? Perhaps the X-30 at 50 or 80 hz? Just curious... I'm sure we could have lengthy conversations.
Once again... nice system.. Best regards PS: my virtual system hasn't been updated on this site with any new pics, it's still showing my previous Mini Grands, but I'll be correcting it soon.
