Both the old Virgo 2's and the new 3's that I now own are a nice improvement over the Grand Piano. The Virgo 3 ahs much improved bass over the older model and the detail and coherency are astounding. I can't recommend any sacd/cd player in the $500 range to use with speakers of this caliber. I am using a modified Sony 9000es DVD/SACD/CD player. It is a reasonable player stock but mods like those offered by www.modwright.com turn into something quite wonderful.
