Hello cjfrbw,

Very nice system, especially with the Allnic gear! I have owned the Apogee Centaur ribbon speaker and enjoyed it's performance. I know your original posts go back quite a few years, however, could you share what you thought of the Apogee Cassiopeia 6? The photo of the Apogee looks like a planar bass model such as a Stage or Caliper. Thank you for sharing great information on your Allnic-centered system.
