Audio Physic Virgo III

What electronics do you use with your Virgo?

I own the Virgo II's as well. I went to hear the Virgo III's and I was disappointed. They were thin sounding and they were underwhelming in the extreme. The Virgo III's however have a following. Either you love them or, you hate them. I guess in answer to your question, I do not think that the Virgo III's are an improvement on the II's. I wanted them to be much more than what I found them to be.

I felt that the virgo III's were a step down. Better bass yes, but they just don't have that magical mid and upper range that made the II special. The II's basically sound like the worlds best minimonitor, yet they happen to have decent bass. The upper range on them is just amazing. I've probably heard 50 speaker's, and the virgo is definitely in my top 5 list.

The III's sound much more like a good quality, 'ordinary' (boring) speaker. I feel like I can hear the multiple driver's in the system. Maybe it's just a predjudice that I have. I feel that the fewer drivers the better.

They're good, but instead of me thinking 'these are really special', I just thought 'yah great,...whatever'. They just don't have that 'clarity' I hear in the II.

I have auditioned the Virgo III, but I have not heard the II's. I went into the audition wanting to love them. However, I just thought they were good, not great. In the end I thought they were real lean in the mid's. Maybe it was the set-up. If you enjoy listening to full scale classical music you may be dissapointed. Maybe a top notch subwoofer would do the trick.
