New Audio Physic Virgo 5 ?

I would add to this that it looks like they have a new
generation of the Avanti also (also version 5 with,
it appears, the same new driver as the Virgo).
Any comments or info on this, too, would be interesting.
Thanks.

Yes, new Avanti 5 (comes out in 2006) and new Virgo 5 this year, introduced during the Munich High End Show. All the details about those speakers are in the Audio Physic website.

I have it at home right now. A very good speaker. Def much warmer sounding that the older Virgo III it replaces. If it wasn't German, I would say that it has a classic British sound.

Thanks for letting me know.
Could you tell me if the bass (especially the upper bass) is at all boomy or pushy or disconnected?

Is the midrange at all "in your face."

I ask this because these attributes have annoyed me in
other well-regarded speakers I have owned.

Thank you very much.
