Scorpio's are nice, but in my room I have difficulties getting the bass right with speakers that carry bassunits on the side instead of the front. Bass was very boomy and transition between bass and midrange was lacking quite a bit. Maybe they just need more space, I don't know. I also tried the more expensive Virgo V, but had the same problems with the bass (albeit a bit less than with the Scorpio's). It wouldn't be my pick.
Audio Physic Scorpio or Vandersteen Signature 3A
Hi,
I am interested in buying either Audio Physic Scorpios or Vanderstaeen Signature 3A's. I am familiar with (and fond of) the AP signature sound. I love the dynamic punch of AP speakers along with the pinpoint imaging, crystal clear midrange they provide on well-recorded material. Some say AP's are too bright but I really like that crisp detailed treble.
I auditioned the 3A's yesterday and was pretty impressed with the natural box-free sound and deep bass they provide. They really do sound wonderful and so natural. That said, the 3A's did not have the high frequency treble extension I was hoping for. The dealer, who was a really great guy, explained that some tweaks can will make the top end of the Vandersteens sing. Does anyone have thoughts on these 2 speakers? I have ARC LS26 preamp, Spectron Musician 3 sig Amp, Resolution Audio CDP.
Thanks,
