Why Don't you hear more about Audio Physics Speakers??

I owned the Avanti for a brief time.  While they created a large sound stage and detail they had a very “soft” mid frequency in my room and set up.  I tried to like them but in the end I ended up selling.  Other equipment included Primaluna HP w/ kt150’s, PS Audio Direct Stream and JPS cables.  I moved to Joseph Audio Perspectives and never looked back.  

I used to frequent a high end store called Sound II in North Dartmouth, MA. They sold Audio Physics speakers and the many times I heard them, they always sounded fantastic.  That’s all I know about them as at the time I-owned Vandersteen 2CE Signatures speakers so I wasn’t too interested in others.  However, whenever walking into the store, I was always greeted to the wonderful sounds of the Tempo speakers, driven by an early VAC amp and an RCM (I think) turntable.  The quality of the sound made you want to sit and listen. 

Testy,

That's a good explanation. Joseph audio is a perennial favorite of mine.

I see AP announced a recent "BreakThrough" enhancement that caught my attention.

The Soft-Mid criticism is a useful take. I am going for a 2nd listen on the 26th

and will listen for that. Thanks!

When I first heard them I kind of had to have them.   As I owned them I noticed they did not have the fullness I tend to like.  It may have been my room but I’ve owned Revel, Proac, and a few others and never thought I was missing midrange.  

My dealer used to carry AP, but now I haven't seen them in many years. I remember being pretty impressed by a smallish AP tower with dual front-firing midrange cones, some kind of side-firing driver, and the cone tweeter. I don't remember the model - it was circa 2010. They were driven by Renaissance-level VAC gear. Gorgeous huge soundstage and awesome imaging. But yes, the midrange didn't seem quite as fleshed out as other speakers like my Tannoy Canterbury. I do think back fondly of them. They seem like lots of fun in the right system & room!
