Amplifier for Audio Physics Virgo II

What type of tweeter did AP employ in the Virgo ll.
Just curious if it was a metal or soft dome.

hi Yslee:
I owned the Virgo II for a few years, and to be honest I still miss them dearly, despite having 'upgraded' to other speakers. I actually drove them with KR Audio 6000 monos, providing <30wpc, and I thought they sounded wonderful. I also used a pair of 65wpc Blue Circle BC2 monos, which also sounded great (but the KR were that bit more palpable and richer). I'm not sure you need a lot of power here - just the right amp(s) for your taste.

One other key point I need to make and I can't emphasise this enough - I used a pair of Sistrum 004 stands beneath my Virgo IIs - the difference was night and day. You could spend many thousands and not get the benefit that this relatively affordable upgrade can provide. Good luck - you have a very fine pair of speakers. Enjoy.

My latest pair (I missed them and bought another pair after 2 years) sound very good bi-amped with a pair of Pass Labs Aleph 3s.

Thanks for all the wonderful recommendations. I am leaning towards SS.

I am actually a little surprised that Aleph 3 can drive them. When you say bi-amp, do you mean mono-block setup, one Aleph 3 for each speaker? Actually, the Aleph 5 (60Wpc) did came across my mind, wonder if anyone have hear that setup. I had both amps before, and if my memory serves me right, they sounded wonderfull but a little 'thin' with my Thiels.

Fjn04, I am not quite sure what kind of tweeter it has. I took a look, looks like soft dome but I can't be sure. Maybe others can clarify.
