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

They don’t have a wide distribution net in North America but they make some competent speakers.

I owned the Avanti (current version) for a couple months. Overall, they were a good value at the price I paid for them pre-owned. The cabinet finish is second to none. The only complaint I had with these was some cabinet resonance that sometimes distracted from otherwise great performance. I didn’t notice a lack of low octave extension as others have mentioned. In fact that was one of their strengths. They just lacked the 50-100Hz hump that many tower speakers produce. So if one is used to that midbass hump then I can understand why they’d sound lean.
 

At the retail price of the Avantis, there are better options, like the Spendor D7.2.

Heard the Tempo Plus at Holm Audio here in the Chicago suburbs, and some things were amazing and some I didn't have much of an opinion......just so so. The only speaker I've ever heard where the soundstage was almost the entire room, up/down/sideways/wide. They are also the only speaker I have ever heard that I had no idea where the speaker was, sound just enveloped me from all sides.....and that was in a crowded sound room.

However, they did not "excite me". Impact was not there, gorgeous sweet mids were somewhat there but un-exciting, and transitions seemed to be "lazy" or slow.

Wanted SO much to love them as they were on a ridiculous sale, but just didn't fall in love with them

I’ve heard AP speakers over the years and agree they do an amazing job of disappearing but have no slam/guts to get excited about.

I generally agree that if you are looking for thickness,weight, slam then Audio Physic speakers aren't the go-to speakers.  That's one of the main reasons I didn't keep the Virgos after a home audition - too polite and soft with high energy music.

However the Libra speakers that followed were more dynamic, and the Scorpio model I owned really did have impressive guts and punch.

There are some very insightful comments above and I appreciate them. Thank you.

Consensus viewpoint seems to be:

-Amazing soundstage

-Good lows and highs

-Less than impactful mids

Some preferred brands:

Joseph, Spendor

Some very pleased with the product.

Agreed about confusing product line. 

I will await a report from a reviewer about the "New" enhancement's SQ 

contribution.

Does that sound like an accurate paraphrasing?

I plan to bring my current Stand Mount speakers to the audition on Monday

of the Classic 10's so I can have a real A/B comparison.

Albeit we will be listening in his room not mine but his is well tuned.
