I'm waiting on a pair of A10s to work as rears to my Vienna Acoustics front three. RSW12 completes my mish mash!

Hi,

Have had my Apex for about 3 months now and love them

A truly unique set of speakers!!!

 

[gosalh]

Thanks guys for your replies. I have to say that i am a very proud owner of the Apex system. I think the speakers are amazing in every sense. I used to own a Bose Acoustimass 10....and.....now i want to laugh at Bose!!!!! The difference is night and day.

I will be posting up pictures of my setup to share with you all very soon.

I purchased mine through Sevenoaks Sound and Vision along with the Denon 3311 and QED XT Evolution cable. I saved around £400. In addition to some haggling, they were more than helpful and gave me a decent discount.

Haha thanks Rick. Would be good if we had an official home somewhere on the Forum

F2F your ahead of me by a year.

I do have a question one of you can all hopefully help with. Have only had APEX's a week and have not had a lot of opportunity to use. Am curious to hear your experiences with running in and any changes to the sound you may have noticed over time.

I nearly did not buy the APEX's as when demoed the movie performance was so laid back it was almost asleep and that with the much hyped/loved pioneer SC-LX83 amp.

Music performance however was amazing - I am a lover of female vocals, acoustic sets etc. Any speaker that can reproduce the squeak of fingers on guitar strings and give you the 'performer in the room' effect when your eyes are shut gets my vote. For a 'small' HT satellite system this got closer than any other I've heard.

On that basis brought them and hoped the movie experience was just a setup anomaly with the dealer (thankfully it seems it was)

I picked up my apex package + Yamaha 3067 from Musicraft last week.

This will be first weekend i listen to them ;o)

Thanks to everyone for posting!!

Just a quick question. I've got a baseline for my Apex system and Denon 3311.

I've used the Audyssey to do the initial setup and i've done my own manual tweaking. Should the center channel always be louder than the surrounds or the opposite? The Audyssey has set the center channel to be lower than the front left and right.

Thanks

Quick DIY question, what size screws and wall plugs do I need for the A10 brackets? Wow they are heavy for their size!!

The auto setup, will set the level of each speaker individually so the dB level is the same at the point where you placed the mic, so if all the front 3 are in line and virtually at the same distance from that point, then there is usually only between 0.5 & 1 dB difference maximum. You can always tweak the centre to your taste
