• Apogee Stage Speakers

    Product Overview – The Apogee Stage Speakers, released circa 1990, are full-range planar ribbon loudspeakers designed for high-resolution, low-distortion playback, delivering the open, fast transient response Apogee is renowned for.

    Ribbon Loudspeaker Performance – Featuring true ribbon midrange and tweeter elements, these speakers deliver lightning-fast transients, exceptional clarity, and expansive soundstaging that rewards high-quality amplification and careful system matching.

    Design & Sonic Character – The Apogee Stage Speakers use a dipole radiation pattern with large ribbon surfaces, producing natural tonal balance, deep image layering, and lifelike vocal reproduction unmatched by conventional dynamic driver designs.

    Specifications – Nominal impedance is approximately 3–4 ohms with sensitivity around 86 dB, requiring high-current amplifiers capable of stable low-impedance drive to unlock their full dynamic and tonal potential.

    Dimensions – Each speaker measures approximately 1220 mm (H) × 560 mm (W) × 60 mm (D), with a slim vertical profile that still demands adequate floor space and thoughtful room placement.

    Weight – Each speaker weighs roughly 32 kg, reflecting the substantial ribbon assemblies, rigid frame construction, and damping required for mechanical stability and accurate ribbon driver operation.

  • Classe CP50 Preamp and CA150 Power Amplifier

    Reference Heritage – Classe CP50 Preamp and CA150 Power Amplifier, released in the late 1990s, combine solid state Class A/AB design with refined Canadian engineering, delivering authoritative control, tonal neutrality, and long-term musical satisfaction.

    Preamplifier Performance – The CP50 preamplifier is renowned for its low-noise architecture, discrete circuitry, and transparent gain stages, offering excellent channel separation and a natural, unforced presentation across analog sources.

    Power Amplifier Authority – The CA150 stereo power amplifier provides high-current solid state Class AB operation, maintaining composure into difficult speaker loads while preserving midrange clarity, dynamic headroom, and tight, controlled bass response.

    Specifications – Power output is rated at approximately 150 watts per channel into 8 ohms, doubling into 4 ohms, with wide bandwidth, high damping factor, and stable operation into demanding loudspeakers.

    Dimensions – Classe CP50 Preamp and CA150 Power Amplifier. CP50 measures approximately 483 mm (W) × 76 mm (H) × 330 mm (D), while CA150 measures roughly 483 mm (W) × 178 mm (H) × 406 mm (D), suitable for standard hi-fi racks.

    Weight – CP50 weighs about 8 kg, while the CA150 weighs approximately 29 kg, reflecting substantial power supply design, heavy transformers, and rigid chassis construction for vibration control and thermal stability.
