The Full Range which is also referred to as "The Apogee" was Apogee's first "full-range" ribbon speaker.
They were available with (2 way) or active (2 or 3 way) crossovers, they come apart into two sections, the mid/tweeter is detachable from the bass.
I found out recently that the Full Range was produced until 1994, and a large number of them were sold to the far east where there is a good market for very expensive speakers.
