Audio Physic Virgo 5s

Lyric Hifi in Manhattan and White Plains carry Audio Physic. You may want to call and see if they have the Virgos on the floor. The Manhattan store is far better from a customer service standpoint than the White Plains store from my experience. I won't set foot in the White Plains store again.

I haven't heard the Virgos, but I have heard a few others and own the Yara Evolution Bookshelves. Never heard any boominess nor imbalance between ranges in any AP. I'd charecterize AP as tight, quick, and slightly lean in bass. Everyone's ears, rooms, systems, and music is different, and therefore YMMV.

Other AP speakers I have heard were clearly more restrained in the bass. Virgo V is not.

FYI, my reference is Wilson Sophia II and Avalon Eidolon Vision.

Those of you have heard both the Virgo V and the Virgo II - how would you characterize the differences between them?
(I'm a long-time owner of the IIs)

Thanks in advance

i found the v's to be more extended in both the high and low end but they lack that elusive mid-range magic for which the ii's are legend.

Analogkid, The Virgo II is the best Virgo;Sterophile first A 'class' below $5000. But Joachem (?) the designer left Audio Physics after Virgo II and Audio Phisics never produced a speaker that can match Virgo II or Caldera II (also Joachem design). BTW I bought for my son an Virgo II in Germany for 1200 Euro. But for his father Usher BE-20.
I.e. look for those speakers,they are realy special and can
compete with the best at present.
