Introduced in 1998 the Cepheus range were the 3rd Apogee hybrid speakers range, and the replacements for the Slant series.
The Cepheus 8 was the larger model with two 8" cone woofers, and a 40" 5 element ribbon, effectively the replacement for the Slant 8.
According to Prentice Geddie (Apogee Acoustics Users Group) only 4 pairs were ever sold, which makes this a very rare speaker indeed. I know of one owner, any others out there please e-mail me.
