best matching gears with Virgos, help please.

I am currently using the Rowland M-6 amp in Stereo with the Virio III's. The sound and the soundstage is awesome. I have also heard these speakers with the Rogue Audio tube gear. The sound was also very good. They are wonderful speakers. You are to be comended on making a wise decision for your speaker selection.

I'm using my Virgos with SF Line 3 preamp and Blue Circle BC2 amps, SPM ICs and FIM Gold SC. I'm very happy with the sound, but I find merit in Gregm's argument - a litte more power than the 75WPC of my Blue Circles may go a long way to giving more immediacy and slam to the sound. The Blue Circles never clip though, even at high volume, so I guess they do accomplish the job well enough. My understanding is the the Virgos don't require odles of power, but do benefit from such an approach. I don't have enough experience with preamps to make a good case for choice of SS over tubes, but I can attest to the virtue of using fast, transparent cabling. I've used a lot of good cables on the Virgos and SPM interconnects won the day hands down. Good luck with your speakers - they're great performers.

thanks folks.

I am using Kimber and Ensemble interconnect and marigo power
cords. many users have pointed out SPM is a great match with Virgos. I have not tried SPM before, I wonder what else IC will be suitable?
how about the AP subwoofer? any recommendation? or Virgos
will be sufficient?
thanks

Hi Tim, just saw yr post (was away). The AP sub is nice & precise to my ears -- but am not sure you need to invest in extra bass just now. A lot depends upon room size & speaker positioning: you may be able to play with room interaction with the Virgo's woofers.
Instead, you may wish to consider upgrading to a RG7 amp. IMO the RG3/III is very musical with hi's "like angels", and it pairs with the 7 wonderfully (or so Mr Gemein says - I agree). Also, play with positioning the 3 (a Neuance shelf, for example) & its power supply: on cones, on its side, etc.
Cheers

hi, Gregm,

I wonder is bi-wireable Virgo more recent version? The seller told me they are only 3-4 yrs old? but they are single posting.
As you mentioned, i put 3 Diamond racing cone under 3 power supply, and it made a huge improvement!! the sound oped up!!I do not know how to put cones on its side?
BTW, I am thinking replace my RG1 with RG4 in the future,
have you heard any RG4 from Symphonic Line or its tube preamp?
thanks

thank jbm and outlier for the decent advise
Happy "Horse" New Year!!
