So Many Apogees for sale, and so few takers

There seems to be a plethora of Apogee speakers for sale here on Audiogon lately. I've been regularly searching for used Apogees in my area for the last 2 years, and have seen few if any come up for sale. Yes, I finally snagged a pair of mint Duetta Sig's.

But all of a sudden there are more than several over the last few months, but the ad's seem to linger for a long time. I would think people would jump on these speakers - there are few speakers out there today that can do what these do, regardless of their age.

Signs of a withering economy?
Just a summer slump?

Baranyi, yes indeed, they do take a lot of amp. One amp that drives them surprisingly well is the Lazarus h1a, used as monoblocks.

I know a guy with a pair of Full Ranges that he bought new which he could be convinced to part with. To the best of my knowledge they're in perfect working condition. At 350 lbs. each they are massive, and they require beefy biamplification.

everything is slow in the summer too. In february I listed my Von Schweikert VR-33s for sale and had 5 people ready to commit in 48 hours before I reconsidered and decided to re-evaluate things. I listed the same VR-33s now in late July and barely any interest... I think folks just focus on the hobby less durring fairer weather.

IMHO, I think that people that post things and subsequently "reevaluate" and "reconsider" are wasting our time and abusing the system.

Figure it out first, then post.

Gopher: Maybe in the winter months people go out less and spend less money which would make a February purchase possible, but I also think that income tax checks right around the corner has a lot to do with it also.
