Audio Physic Scorpio 25 vs Virgo 25

I am curious about these two models as the Scorpio 25 which is supposed to be a lower model has more drivers than the Virgo 25 (two additional 7" bass drivers on each speaker). The Scorpio 25 goes lower than the Virgo 25 too.

Virgo 25
Woofer...............................2 x 180mm / 7"
Midrange................................150mm / 5.9" HHCM
Tweeter.................................39mm / 1¾" HHCTII
Frequency range.......................30 Hz - 40 kHz

Scorpio 25
Woofer...............................4 x 180mm / 7"
Midrange............................2 X 150mm / 5.9" HHCM
Tweeter.................................39mm / 1¾" HHCTII
Frequency range.......................29 Hz - 40 kHz

Sound=wise, how do these two speakers compare? In what ways the Virgo 25's are "superior" or different to the Scorpio 25? More refinement or something else? In my view, it is not common that a lower model has more drivers and goes lower in the bass frequencies than a higher model in a speaker line.

Any insight would be appreciated.

Thanks for the response. Much appreciated. The latest iteration of Audio Physic speakers(25th Anniversary) must be something really special with the improved HHCT and HHCM drivers compared to their predecessors.

Apparently I just found out that a guy on the Naim forum is driving his Tempo 25's with a Nait 5i integrated. I guess the Naim separates may provide better control on the higher models. The Virgo 25's are certainly looking good if they are tonally more balanced and neutral.
