Aragon 8008ST

Two months ago, I added a used Aragon 8008ST bought in Singapore to drive the stereo subwoofers of the Apogee minigrands. The 8008 is rated at 200W/400W into 8/4 ohms. The crossover point is 80Hz according to the manual of the Apogee active crossover, and now the Classe Audio DR9 power amplifier and Apogee bass panels are relieved of large signals below 80Hz. The sound is more relaxed and can be played at higher volume.

The 2kW torroidal transformer provided sufficient juice and control of the 2 units of 8" woofers per channel.

Apogee Centaur Minor speakers (SOLD)

Apogee Centaur Minor ribbon hybrid speakers for sale. Classic Apogee transparent sound no colourations. Very good condition, ribbons in excellent condition, no waves, perfectly smooth and straight. 6 ohms easy to drive with 89dB sensitivity. Unit is complete with original Apogee stands. Weight - 60lbs each side. Height : 1.2m. Partnered with the Dared VP845 tube amp, the highs and mid range is perfect for my taste but the bass and mid bass sounds too boxy and booming to me, hence sold them and 'upgraded' to Apogee minigrand (Apogee Stage with sub woofer).
