Audio Physic Virgos......


I am looking for amplification for these babies, I love their world class soundstaging, musicality, and precision. Any owners please write with components they have found successful, thanks Mark

I owned the virgo's for 2 years, and have heard them with around a dozen amp/pre combo's.

Best ss : pass labs aleph 2 w/aleph P.
Best tube : vt100m2 (esp with a vk-30SE or 50SE preamp)
Cabling : Nordost red dawn/spm/quattro-fil for i/c and
spkr. Red dawn is a good price/performance
point for them.

Generally these respond best to medium powered, high detail, low grain amps. Nordost red dawn's are a great cable match.

One of my friends had the full blown spectral setup with the virgo's. You do have to like that spooky 'hyper detailed' spectral sound, because the virgo's will give you more of it than any other speaker.

I've been enjoying my Virgo IIs with Blue Circle BC2 monos. Upstream components are Sonic Frontiers Line 3 and YBA CD1a. The sound is amazing, but I haven't tried the Virgos with another amp, so I can't really advise. I have heard that the Virgos generally work better with higher power. I'm hoping to try another amp soon too, just to see if I get a different sound. Good luck,
John.
I run mine with a Jadis Defy 7 Mark IV. It is a wonderful match. The amp retails new for $8500.00 but can be found
used for much less. The best under $10,000 amp I have ever
heard.
I have Audio Physic Libra's and am using a Music Reference RM 9 MkII, 125 WPC with 6550 tubes. This is a great match up and I am sure would work well with the Virgo's as well. I previously had a Audio Research D 70 Mk II, which did not have quiet enough power, and could not match the transparency and soundstage of the RM 9.
