| Audio Physic Virgo I (or Virgo II): still considered a very good or great speaker? Nice summary, prof.You and I are of the same mind on the Joachim Gerhard magic. I think his AP designs remain at least as good as most of what's come down the pike since. At the normal $1500 asking price, the Virgos are an obvious answer for any... | |
