Hi RGA,

i believe that when it comes to Apogee, your knowledge of sale numbers are very limited. Apogee sold thousands of speakers. As a fact, there are 2500 pairs of Apogee Duettas in Germany alone. There are many many more in the USA and Asia. The company was alive and kicking for almost 20 years! Every model they made was featured in the German HIFI magazines as the reference in every price range above 10k :-) Even in the USA they wom Best sound of show a huge amount of time. They are featured in the
smithsonian and disney! Even the USA audio press bowed over for them, and the DIVA (3 to 4 smallest model) was noted in the same leauge as the Wilson WAMM and Infinity IRS

But back to topic, i agree that Audio Note makes some very nice products. I rank their electronics very highly and i have nothing against them. For me, its simply not possible. The speaker i own needs a huge room 800ft2 at least and cant be run with 30 watts of tube power. Its all a matter of preference and i woulndt mind spending 60k on a audio note amp if i had the cash. But not on their speaker ;-)

By the way, you seem to think that Apogee sold " a few amount of speakers", this is not so. The production cost was too high and the speakers where priced too low. A management mistake....
