Audio Physic: Virgo or Libra???


Anybody out there who has purchased Libras over Virgo's. I need to make a decision soon, so I need input as soon as possible? Do you think Libras are much better than Virgo's and worth the money differance?? I have a room 14X13; would the Libra work in such a work?? Any advice and/or input greatly appreciated!!!

I'd talk directly to the US importer about their synergy with your room.(www.immediasound.com)This website also describes in deatil Immedias views on the optimal way to set up the AP speakers. Yamamura cables are also an excellent match. As for the US retail I believe it is $9500
You can buy a pair of Virgos for $3000 on this site, for this price you can't lose. I just got a pair and they are great, I am selling my beloved Maggie 1.6.
Beware of room & amplification, Sunnyjim! I successively had Virgo, Libra AND Avanti -- and, also auditioned the Medea -- AND met J.Gerhard (Mr A Physics). I spent 2 happy yrs with Mr Gerhard's products.

IMO the difference in quality justified the price incremental. (Glide3 -- *wow* is word for the new Avantis... but wait till you hear the Medea)
HOWEVER, G. at the time mentioned the following caveats:
a) Amplification. I'm not sure you can drive Avantis to their best with the present gear... so you'd be looking at a biggger investment than the speakers' price differential!!
b) for your room I think Virgos is probably as far as the room will take.
My room is larger (~25...), so the Avantis were perfect, the Medeas just over the limit. BUT: in order to control the Avanti's (i.e. to get my money's worth out of them) I had to use solid state MONOS (Symphonic Line RG4).

Hope this helps -- if I can help further, don't hesitate.
