True Sound Works Apogee Diva Ultimate - Any Good?

Interesting discussion. What are the TSW Full Ranges? I looked at their website and saw 2 Apogee speakers...Diva Ultimate and Duetta.

Do people drive them in parallel with subs or solo? (Note: i play classical, jazz, blues, solo...but also deep house, Hans Zimmer soundtracks with a lot of very very deep propulsive bass that is very powerful as well.)

I have modified my big Wilson X1s over the years, and enjoy them...but would be curious to learn more about these speakers. I really really liked Apogee Stages when i heard them many years ago...and nearly bought them second hand that day.

Thanks for any feedback on its ability to deliver propulsive power across the mids and of course deep bass. (sub 40hz)

Thanks!!!

Thanks Lissnr!!! Sounds amazing. I have looked into the Apogee Grand...that much 25-year old electronics, 6 amps, etc...whew! that's a bit too much 'stuff' even for me.

I currently use the Zanden 4-box, CJ GAT and Gryphon Colosseum (160 watt dual-mono, pure Class A, doubling down to 0.5ohms with a doubling at peak) and drive a 'slightly' modified Wilson X1/Grand Slamm and Velodyne DD18.

If you had to pick one...would you go for TSW Full Range or the Analysis Audio Amphytron? I have heard excellent things about both (of course, there is the 4-panel Analysis Audio Orion too!).

Thanks Lissnr! Great feedback and surely one I will come back to re-read...often! Congrats on your TSW Apogees...must surely be audio bliss!

Lissnr,

do the TSW Full Ranges have to be bi-amped? Or can they be driven by one stereo amp? I run the Gryphon Colosseum amp so hopeful that this will suffice. Thanks for any advice.

Thanks!...I will do that. I am told that it is sometimes best to use the same amplification for both ends, because it makes the work with the active crossover easier...and is a 'must' with a passive crossover. I am no techie, but I have been advised this by a few people whom I usually trust.
