Audio Physic Scorpio - How does it rate?

I've looked up opinions on the forums. Some like the older Virgo II or III better, and say the Scorpio's drivers are the same as the Tempo. No ring radiator.

Yet, Michael Fremer had high praise for this speaker. How does it sound, and how does it compare to other Audio Physics? Is it a value at $7,000 new?

Find a pair for Virgo IIs for about $2000. Save alot of money and have a better speaker.

You should be able to find a used pair of Avanti IIIs for around $7000. It is a great speaker and, in my opinion, better than the Virgo II. The original Avanti, like the original Caldera and the Libra, were not anything special
and kind of boring. I have not heard the new Avanti so I can't comment.

I owned them for a long time prior to downsizing my system.
Easily the best speaker I ever owned and one of the best I've ever heard.

Speakers are the most personal of all system components. The only way to choose is to listen. Audio Physic has made a lot of ordinary speakers. They've also made some that are simply extraordinary. The same can be said for all speaker manufacturers.
