Good condition, considering the age. Apogee Centaur Minor Ribbon Speakers with original boxes and padding. A minor mark on the front of one speaker (see photo)

From my knowledge the only set of these for sale in New Zealand.

Ribbons are in perfect condition and these were being used with a vinyl set up before being boxed up for a house move. Unfortunately circumstances have changed and we are regretfully selling these onto a new home.

These floor standing speakers have removal speaker covers on the front so you can choose to expose the speaker if you wish.

Ideally the winner would come and collect but we are happy to look at freight shipping should the successful new owner want this.

Official Info The Centaur Minor was Apogee’s first and smallest ribbon hybrid when it was released in 1991. Also the cheapest yet Apogee at £1150 in the UK, and a similar price in $’s in the US. At 100cm tall, 35cm wide and 22cm deep, its footprint is no bigger than a stand mounted mini-monitor speaker. The 26? (6 element) etched ribbon tweeter is the same version which is used in the later model of the Stage.

The 6.5? dynamic cone woofer is mounted in a long rectangular enclosure set towards the outside of the speaker so the dipole ribbon fires into ‘free air’. The woofer is positioned at a height which is the mid-point of the ribbon tweeter.
