Powering Audio Physic Virgos


I am having trouble locating any info on the Audio Physic Virgo I. Most of the info out there is for the newer III version. What amplifiers are people using that own this speaker. Are they extremely inefficient speakers, or would a 50 wpc integrated work in a smallish room. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.

I responded earlier, and just happened to remember that my friend who owned them, borrowed my Avatar, VAC integrated. We sat and watched a great movie, Meet Joe Black, with the scene at the end, fireworks, and a large orchestra playing. This amp just completely (50 wpc, and tubes of course) walked right through them. It was remarkably transparent, and dynamic. Kevin Hayes is brilliant. That Avatar is quite an amp, and actually large enough with those Virgo's for MY taste, and in a large room.
Others may want more. But that was one of those wonderful moments in audio.
Good luck!

I have Virgo IIs and power them with a Krell 300il integrated -- very happy. The Krell gives the bass authority and the Virgo IIs tame the Krell's brightness. By the way, Sound by Singer in NYC runs the Virgo IIIs through the same Krell integrated.
The only suggestion I can make that hasn't been already been mentioned is, to pick something with a sweet high end. IMHO the Virgos are much brighter than Thiels are reputed to be.
P.S. While I haven't actualy heard them together and if there wasn't such a dark cloud over EC's reputation for customer service here in the US, I would suggest an Electrcompaniet intergrated as a consideration.
hhmm......well I have owned the Theil 1.5 and 3.6 and have had the Virgo I and now the Virgo III and I would disagree....IMO, the Theil's have much more HF energy than do the do the AP's. The Virgo's IMO have much more balance top to bottom.
