The
Centaur was the
medium sized model of the Centaurus ribbon hybrid range, Apogee's first
range of ribbon hybrids using a 8" dynamic woofer and a 26" ribbon
tweeter.
They enabled users to experience the clarity and spaciousness of a
ribbon tweeter, and with the ordinary dynamic woofer instead of the
current hungry planar bass panel they were considerably easier to drive.
