Audio Physic Virgo II's VS Audio Physic Padua
Buy the Virgos used, have a better speaker, and save a bunch of money.-Wendell 
Has any body heard the Lyra SKALA?
We used it on the SME10 at HE2006 last month. Nice cartridge but I wouldn't dump the Helikon until you need a replacement. If you want a different sound consider a top line Benz.-Wendell

Audio Physic Virgo II vs Avanti III
I also listened to the Sonics at the show. It is hard to make judgements under show conditions but I wasn't impressed with what I heard. Could have been the room or the setup.-Wendell 
Audio Physic Virgo II vs Avanti III
I did not keep the Virgos and regret that. They are wonderful. In my opinion, the Avanti IIIs are superior. Iknow of no speaker, that I can afford, that I would prefer to have. I hear no flaws in them. I never experienced brightness from the Virgo... 
Audio Physic Virgo II vs Avanti III
I agree. The Virgo IIs (not the IIIs) are one of the truly great speakers. I didn't think I would ever replace them until I heard the Avanti IIIs. Wider, taller and deeper soundstange. Deeper bass and more extended highs and still disappears like ...
