Finally had a chance to listen to VD's Apogee Slants yesterday...
I've been to VD's vault a couple of times. Honestly, these are the best pair of speakers I've heard in his room to me. Why? Despite their gorgeous size/profile, they disappear when playing. Images are thrown to the back of the room. Crisp w/ fluid transitions, I can pin point the musicians/singers in space. Tonal balance was correct to my ears. I like speakers w/c image like crazy and do the vanishing bit. This pair does the trick.
Don't forget to mark the floor where they are standing. I'd try bi-wiring those babies. I believe they will make a difference.
For a moment, I thought I was listening to my Martin Logan Aerius i's. I guess I miss them. Time to fire them up again. Thanks for the opportunity to listen to them, VD
