Audio Physic has been one of my favorite brands for many years.
It started when I heard the Virgo (and eventually tried them in my home).
They possessed a very hard to find combination: super detailed, utterly disappearing, spacious, "fast" sounding...yet also with a timbral warmth.
Not necessarily "warm" as in filled out lower midrange but rather a timbral warmth where wood instruments sounded "right" and warm and woody, brass "warm and brassy" etc.
I found the Virgos had just a bit too much of an upper bass hump to make me pull the trigger, but later I reviewed the follow up AP model: the Libra. That was much like the Virgo but sounded more linear and dynamic. Fabulous speakers! (Though missing just a bit of the upper frequency magic of the Virgo).
I'd heard various AP speakers, other versions of the Virgo, Avanti etc, over the years at local AV stores.
Later I owned the AP Scorpios. Again, incredible disappearing act, dynamic, detailed. Though a slight tonal shift in a direction that left me wanting more timbral warmth.
The last AP I listened to was during my mega speaker search several years ago (detailed in my long thread), which was the AVANTI.
Once again, it had the AP characteristics of disappearing in to a large detailed soundstage and imaging, wonderful clarity. But ultimately the tone was a bit cool for my tastes.
Funny...like someone else mentioned...it was the Joseph Perspectives that I chose in the end, which had similar properties of being a slim floorstander that utterly disappeared in to a huge Soundstage, yet still managed to sound timbrally rich and warm to my ears.
Admittedly I have really wanted to hear the AP Codex, which could be very impressive. As of a few years ago there were at least 2 stores selling and demoing AP speakers. I don't think they sell them any more so perhaps a lack of presence is why we here less about the brand these days.
