Audio Physic Virgo- What Power do you use?

Hi - I use a pair of Bel Canto eVo 200.2 in a monblock configuration and these drive them extremely well (Recent upgrade from a single eVo, which also was quite nice). With the monoblocked eVo's I experience a tremendous soundstage, high - wide - and deep. Coupled to the Virgo's, it's one of the best set-ups I've heard under $25,000. I highly recommend the eVos - you can usually pick them up for around $1200-1300 each.

I auditioned a pair of Virgo 3's right after they came out. I had them in my system for about four days. I was driving them with a BAT VK75SE(tube amp). Although I did not purchase a pair, I did NOT feel that the BAT was under powered at all, plenty of headroom and great detail at low level listening--and thats the trick! Good luck.

I owned the virgo's for 2 years before moving to the avanti's.

The pass labs aleph P/Aleph 2 monoblocks with nordost cabling is probably the best combination I used. The bat vk-30SE/vt100 is also outstanding if you like the tube sound. Quality electronics do make a big difference with the virgo's.

I owned the Virgo II's for 3 years. Just sold for WP 6's. I drove the virgo's with a single BAT VK60. Loved it. also loved the VK200. Midrange much better with the tubes!

I have a close friend who has a pair of Virgo 2's.He uses a Cary 30 integrated amp.The Cary is a 30 watt class a biased tube integrated amp that is no longer made.It drives the Virgo to ear splitting levels in a 12x18 room.He also uses an Audio Innovations 20 watt class a biased integrated amp which seems even louder.IMHO you don't need gobs of power,just a class A biased amp.The new Cary Rocket 88,which i own, would be a good choice also.
