Audio Physic Virgo or Sonus Faber Cremona
Hark , I own the Virgo II's and love em. I bought an AP Rhea sub which integrates beautifully. This is all the sound anyone could want. After two years they still give me chills with their accuracy and prescence. The Rhea has taught me what true b... 
REL or Veloydne Subwoofer
How bout an Audio Physic Rhea? I bought one used a few years ago and have never looked back. Superbly balanced and accurate. AT first it didnt seem like it was doing much. Then as my ears opened up I appreciated accurate bass, down to the limit of... 
Tweeter cone on my B&W 805 Naut's is pushed in
Hi, I have seen this problem. Scotch tape wont work, use duct tape or black electrical tape. Get maximum surface area of the tape on the cone and it should pull out. I dont think you will hear any difference sonically. 
Preamp is an amplifier too, right???
Thats right, pre just amplifies voltage, not power. Gs556, what do you mean by a pre drives a load of thousands of ohms? The typical amp presents that much of a load, why? ONe more question: what is the problem using a SS pre with tubes? I thought... 
Efficient speakers for my 2A3's........
Hi ED, I bet you dont have kids!!!! At one time, I ranged over entire territories. My influence and range were unbounded. Then, with marriage, compromise after compromise traded territory after territory. I am still holding on to a little patch on...

I Need to Mount Amps ON WALL+++
thanks for the good suggestions, guys, i think commercial shelving is the way I will go. My amps arent too heavy, and I am a good handyman. And TWL, i bet you dont have kids. By the way, this is the second time you have scolded me out here, the fi... 
Audio Physic Virgo w/ Cary CAD 300SEI
I listened to a LOT of speakers before settling on the Virgos. (I have the Virgo II's) I have listened to them through a VTL ST-85, and a BAT VK200. The results have been MAGICAL in both cases. I do not think you can go wrong with any high quality...

Opinions on VTL preamps
I have VTL 5.5 preamp, has bloom of tubes with speed of solid state. Huge soundstage, I love it with my Virgo II's. Get the latest issue of Stereophile, they give a glowing review of the 5.5 . I think they will give it a class A rating. I have had... 
Attention: Dunlavy Audio Labs out of business
I listened to the Dunlavy SC-IVs, they did nothing for me. Maybe a lot of guys agree....... 
How to Achieve Great Imaging & Soundstage
Audio Physic speakers are known for their soundstaging ability, they disappear completelely when positioned correctly. I bought the Virgo II's largely for their imaging ability. ONly problem is that you have to put them out into the center of the ... 
Velodyne HGS-18 subwoofer
Hi guys, I am trying to integrate with Audio Physic Virgo II's. These are superb in every respect except for extended bass. I have read a lot of good things about the HGS-18. I am just afraid of the integration problem. I recall a few incidences a...
