This is so true. I have a friend who owned both the Divas and the Calipers and the speakers sounded totally different from each other and nothing remotely like real music being made by real instruments.

The original Apogee was an amazing music maker. Gary Walker was a genius.

dcvibe: thanks for sharing your impressions. As someone saving for his next pair of speakers, I'm very interested in hearing as much as possible about sophia v sasha.

I really don't want to take this thread off-track... but wasn't Leo Spiegel the Scintilla's lead designer? No?

dcvibe....great to hear that your Sashas are breaking-in really nicely....and agreed with Cellindo's comments on what to further expect with the Sashas as your break-in period progresses....just reading your comments makes me salivate, because I'm "ampless" right now, so my Sashas are just sitting here dormant (actually, they look very sad/depressed!!)....hopefully my wait will not be for too much longer.....Philip
