Apogee Centaur Major Hybrid Ribbon Speakers – Full-Range Audiophile Classic Pair

Local Pickup Only: Contact for Special Handling & Freight Inquiries

Up for sale is a remarkable, rare pair of Apogee Centaur Major hybrid speakers, the flagship model of Apogee’s Centaur line. These combine a full size ribbon midrange/tweeter assembly with a 10 inch dynamic woofer to deliver the clarity, speed, and air of ribbon sound plus solid midbass impact. These speakers stand approximately 163 cm tall (≈ 64"), about 46 cm wide, and 30 cm deep (cabinet + ribbon depths) and are built for serious listening spaces.

Electrically, they are rated at around 3.5–6 ohms impedance, with a sensitivity in the low 80’s dB range, and a maximum output quoted near 110 dB. The crossover is reported around 450 Hz, and they were originally specified to be driven by amplifiers in the 100 W into 8 ohm (or 200 W into 4 ohm) range, though in practice they benefit from amplifiers with strong current capability.

The ribbon diaphragm is a fragile component—this set has been tested, and the ribbons show no sagging, tears, or wrinkles; they remain taut and free of damage. The woofers are functioning, and their surrounds appear intact. That said, future buyers should be aware that replacement drivers for the original woofer are rare, and crossover modification or rework may be required for long-term servicing.

These are not small speakers—they demand real space, careful placement, and an amplifier that can comfortably drive lower impedances without strain. Proper positioning is critical for the ribbon to shine. If you have a high-end amp or are upgrading into a full-range system, these can become a stunning focal point of your setup.

Included are the speaker pair as shown, with their original boxes. Please feel free to ask specific questions about condition or request additional photos. Thanks for your interest in this rare piece of high-end audio history.
