Audio Physic Virgo Solid State Amps ?

I am looking for a good used solid state amp for my AP Virgo's. I currently run them with a vt100m2. I want something with excellent soundstaging, high detail, and tremendous bass. I listen to lots of jazz, classical soloists, vocals, and blues. I will spend between 700 and 3000. It should also have both rca and balanced inputs. I am considering a mccormack, levinson, or a pass amp. ---- Has anyone heard good Virgo/Solid State matches anywhere ?

Hi John, I have Audio Physic Avanti Centuries and use a Levinson 27.5 it is 100 watts (200 watts into 4 ohm) and drives the centuries very well. The Centuries are similar to the Virgo's, but have a little better bass and the levinson does drive the bass. Good Luck, Mike

Pass works wonderfully with my Avantis. Try the Aleph 3 first. If it is powerful enough you've saved a lot of money & have one of the best amps in existence.

I'm getting very good sound with the vt100m2/virgo's. I'm just consolidating my THREE stereo systems to ONE (maybe two :>), and it makes sense that that one be solid state since it will be on quite a bit. My house looks a little too much like a stereo/guitar store right now. Anybody need a guitar ?
