I posted this over on WBF, but now Bob has put up some more great shots.
Very cool, Bob!
I was a Goldmund dealer throughout the 80s, and when the original Apologue came out I sold a few pair.
When setup correctly, with room to breathe, they were - in many ways - my all-time favorite speaker.

Hi Jim,
Yes, it's great when someone has a large room to let the Apologues breathe. In this case it's a fairly small room, but with Goldmund's experience having now sold 22 or the 25 recent Apologues, many in Asia, where many rooms are on the smaller size, you would be amazed at how nice and intimate it sounds. Of course everything can be controlled being a completely active system with over 60 total DSP's in the system.
This is the third Apologue system that I have done this year. This room and another room in Texas were both small, but both systems sound great and their owner's love them.

Back in the 80s, I never heard another speaker that was as musically involving!
Seems like they were 90k at the end of the 80s, IIRC.

Hey Jim, they were with the "Golden Cubes" right? Back then and they are still there an Apologue was given to MOMA, Museum of Modern Art in Manhattan.

Thank you Joe, they were only fired up for the first time on Tuesday. They take a few months to settle and break in....everything is new, cables, dacs', amps, drivers etc. but they sound very impressive even after 24 hours.

I should have mentioned this with the original post, but this particular customer has "special requirements" with regards to hearing in a large space. He needs and prefers the space of the installation, which he has been using for 20 years as his listening space/room. This space in his home works for him although the system could have been installed in larger spaces in the home.
Certainly a smaller set of Goldmund active/wireless speakers would have been sufficient in the space used for the Apologues, BUT this customer understands all of this and still wanted the Apologues and after much contemplating and listening to Apologues in other small spaces made the decision to proceed. Now that they are are installed he is in love with the sound and the aesthetics in the room. The pic makes the room look smaller than it seems when in the room. The room is actually 22' W X 20' D. The wall where the Apologues are placed is 15' W which works just fine.
The Apologues would normally be installed in a larger space, but if a small space is ideal for the customer, which it is in this case, the Apologue are DSP controlled and can be made to sound ideal depending on the customers requirements and preferences.
This room size space and the Apologues might not work for most others, but it works perfectly for this customer.
Normally an Apologue system would be installed in a room as in this pic in one of the other Goldmund Apologue installations-
