Audio Physic Virgo II vs Avanti III

I agree. The Virgo IIs (not the IIIs) are one of the truly great speakers. I didn't think I would ever replace them until I heard the Avanti IIIs. Wider, taller and deeper soundstange. Deeper bass and more extended highs and still disappears like the Virgo.

Wendell, I take that as a yes. It is worth the extra $$$. Did you keep your IIs?. I'm driving my Virgos with a Pass X-350 and still searching for the right Preamp ( Adcom GFP-750). At higher volume, highs still to bright on most recordings. Very natural at low to mid volume.

I have not owned the Virgo II's but have heard them many times. I have owned the Avanti III's. Both are very accomplished speakers and the Avanti's are technically excellent...but...I tried very hard with lots of different gear and could never really get the Avanti's to let me relax and just enjoy the music...which is exactly what the Virgo's always allowed me to do.
Everybodies taste is different, but since you asked...I'd stick with the Virgo II's.
