From 6 Moons Review:

"Apollo II Toward the other end and second from the top of the M&D line is found the Apollo II. This speaker is no fly weight. It stands 47.2 inches tall by 14.2 inches wide and 15.8 inches deep and tips the scale at a back-straining 170lbs. Rated as being 87dB efficient with a frequency response of 25Hz- 35kHz, the Apollo will qualify as full-range by most standards. With an impedance of 4 ohms, Mark & Daniel recommend an amplifier of at least 150 watts.

From 600Hz on up, the Apollo II uses the aforementioned DM-3 Dreams driver. As unique as that driver is, I'm here to tell you not to underestimate the importance of M&D's proprietary and patented SX technology as implemented in their woofers. The SX10-1.2 'Super Xmas Woofer' of the Apollo utilizes a 48mm long magnetic gap created by very large NdFeB magnets. A high efficiency ribbon copper voice coil of 18mm length is wired onto a 250°C-grade TIL glass fiber former to yield ±15mm linear excursion. That's 1.2 inches!

Behind the cone sits a die-cast aluminum frame, a durable DuPont Metamax damper incorporating a large rubber surround and a compound paper cone and dust cap all said to combine for stunning dynamics while yielding outstanding bass control and 88dB/2.83V/1m at 4 ohms in efficiency - and over 150 watts of power handling.

Though the Apollo II is described as a two-way speaker, it does incorporate a small Dreams super tweeter mounted on top - the same DM-2 as utilized in the Mini. The auxiliary tweeter covers 7kHz- 35kHz and output can be dialed down by 6dB via a rear-mounted potentiometer. This driver fires upward into a cone-shaped dispersion lens to deflect its output into a 360º omni-polar pattern".

Manufactures website; Each Apollo-IIa speaker consists of one newly developed M&D® DM-3a Dreams AMT driver, with a huge diaphragm 160 times larger than a conventional 1” dome tweeter! These Dreams drivers are carefully pair-matched for wideband reproduction, from 600Hz up to 20KHz --- over 5 octaves --- which virtually guarantees true high fidelity reproduction, stunning dynamic output, and super low FMD (Frequency Modulation Distortion) pollution, including to the most essential (800-4KHz) Mid Frequency band; the DM-3a Dreams driver enables the Apollo-IIa speaker system to cover the complete Mid to High Frequency band with one single driver. This is flawlessly accomplished without acoustics crossovers, without phase variation, without any LC compensation network.

In order to achieve such unparalleled sound quality, a very powerful 10” woofer with stunning output capability, using M&D patented SX (Super Xmax) technology, is employed in the design of the Apollo-IIa speaker system. This outstanding low distortion driver accomplishes optimized Q-control from 600Hz down to 25Hz (system F3). This incredible achievement is due to the woofer’s exceptional ± 15mm (1.2”) linear excursion, which allowing the Apollo-II to be operated even under very high Sound Pressure Levels bass reproduction.

Each complex Apollo-IIa speaker enclosure is hand-made and crafted from costly compound marble material (CAM). The cabinet is extremely rigid and heavy (each weighs up to 77Kg, or 170 lb) to properly handle the enormous internal pressures developed by the exceptional drivers.

There is one DM-2a Dreams super tweeter installed on the top of each speaker enclosure. This DM-2a super tweeter incorporated with a 0dB to -6dB adjustable attenuator that located on the back panel have been wired internally in parallel connection with the DM-3a wideband driver, and both drivers are wired to the MF+HF speaker terminals of the enclosure’s back-side. Featuring high power handling and low FMD reproduction capability, the DM-2a is mounted face upwards to respond only to music’s High Frequency harmonics, from 7 KHz up to 35 KHz.

Crafted from compound marble, an acoustics diffuser cone is placed on the top of the unit facing downwards to provide a 4π (360 degree) audio radiation pattern into the entire listening room. Listeners will no longer hear HF harmonics only from the speaker’s tweeter, but additionally they will now hear many indirect reflections from the listening room. Thru fine tuning to the (0dB to -6dB) adjustable attenuator to balance, a more vivid and life-like music reproduction image throughout the very high frequency range may be achieved.

One bubble level indicator is mounted on the top of the speaker enclosure; this indicator helps to fine tune the Apollo-IIa speaker system’s placement so that it may be adjusted to a true vertical position on the floor.
