[QUOTE="Cross_over, post: 1071164, member: 19846"] Not really. I refer to Magnepans and, yes Apogees. They are both planars that can play loud and survive. I also prefer the sound from them as opposed to electrostats. I guess where we differ is in the levels that we listen at. I like it loud but not to the point of damaging speakers or my hearing. I did find a pair of Apogee Caliper Signatures of which one panel was damaged. I repaired it temporarily but will in due course get replacement panels to refurbish both. Once done they should last as long as I do. My preference is for rock and blues and the Apogees have surprising, dynamic bass and speed that suits my type of listening well. They do this without change in tonal balance like most box speakers do with the result that I often don't realise how loud they are until I try to speak. Bigger Apogees and Maggies go louder. I guess my point was that Maggies and Apogees can mostly be played louder than electrostats without falling apart. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
