Disclaimer to my comments that will follow - I own the Virgo IIIs. I have heard them with several preamps and amps, both solid state and tube. I have heard your Dynaudios but only briefly (I think it was a solid state front end).
The AP speakers will be completely different from your current Dynaudios. I agree with you regarding the richness of the sound....I am in less agreement that low-level detail retrieval is a strength. That is where the APs excel. And yes, they do pull a "disappearing act".
I would disagree with Semi re: the description of the sound being "lean, clinical and emotionless". The Virgo IIIs are as close to neutral as I have heard in their price range....change the accompanying equipment, including cables, and the Virgos will let you know. Also, to my ears, the Virgo IIIs sound better than the IIs. Believe me, I would have rather spent half the price on a pair of used IIs here at Agon vs. buying brand new, which is what I ended up doing.
Given your particular situation, I would try changing other things such as the cabling that has been mentioned. You really do have a very good pair of speakers.
