Audio Physic Virgo V Speakers I am selling this fabulous pair of high-end Audio Physic speakers, which are in a lovely cherry wood finish. There is just one slight mark on the side of one of speakers, which cannot be seen unless you really look for it. Other than that, they are in absolutely lovely condition. The speaker foams and grills are all perfect - no tears or problems of any sort. They are 4ohm, easy to drive, and have been used with both tube and solid state amps - sound fantastic with either. Great bass and imaging. Read the reviews to get a feel for how good these are (some extracts below). They are complete with all speaker grills, feet & spikes. You are welcome to come and have a listen (SK11 9RY) and I would rather they were collected as they are big and heavy. However, I do have all the original packaging and they could feasibly be shipped, but, that would be pretty expensive, I think. Alternatively, I would be prepared to deliver/meet up to hand over, up to an hour each way from SK11 9RY - at a cost of 20p/mile for the round trip. Reviews...... The new Virgo 5 is Manfred Diestertichs masterpiece and by all means the best loudspeaker he has ever designed for Audio Physic. Due to the metal cone configuration, the loudspeaker achieves a magnificent level of detail in the mids which is coupled with a perfectly relaxed and wonderful three-dimensional soundstage. SoundBalance: Neutral. The Virgo V has an excellent tonal response, especially when the co-operation with the listening room is successfully matched. Resolution: Excellent overall resolution. Slight lack of precision exists especially in the lower register, very much like Avanti V but may be a little bit more prominently.Transparency: Marvellous. In this area Virgo V is very strong and competitive even with much more expensive speakers.Treble: The treble is now among the best tweeter presentations I’ve heard. In practice the result is the same as with the Avanti V.Midrange: If possible the Virgo V is still a bit more balanced and at least richer than its predecessor, without loosing the level of accuracy!Bass: The bass of the Virgo V goes low, remarkably lower than the Virgo III. Anyway, the bigger sister is a step ahead here. The quality of the bass is good, but for example the slight lack of punch may disturb especially in bigger listening rooms.Dynamics: Very good, but especially in the lower register did not quite achieve the level of the Avanti V or some other competitors.Spatial information: It is amazing how well this small floorstanding speaker does in this area! Like the Avanti V, it is just very near the best speakers I’ve heard! The vertical dimensions of soundstaging are now clearly larger than what the predecessor had. On the other hand the images are possibly not as precisely locked in their places as Virgo III’s images.Summary Owning listening experiences of the Avanti V, no real surprises were registered this time. Having said that, maybe there was one after all: the range of the bass. It went a bit lower than I expected. The Virgo V came with enormous expectations which it fulfils very well. It sounds just darn good. Its very few flaws are small ones and more than acceptable when the price of the speaker is taken into account. The most significant sonic feature of the Virgo V may be that it is much more universally applicable than its predecessor. All kinds of music can be listened to without being afraid of listening tiredness or any poorness in tonality. Also, the Virgo has an even more natural treble than before and of course all the strengths which AP speakers typically have had. It will encourage you to listen to music and keeps your audio enthusiasm at a very high level.
