I have a pair of VMPS RM30 ribbon hybrids in a large room and a pair of the new Silverline Preludes in a smallish room (which is where I had the Virgo II's). I have to say I like both of these speakers better than the Virgo II. The Preludes cost much less and work extremely well in small to mid-size rooms. Imaging is unbelieveably holographic and you won't believe the quality of the bass that comes out of the two small woofers.
After Audio Physic Vigo II's
Where did you go after Audio Physic Virgo II’s? I first listened to AP Virgo’s over at Immedia Sound in Berkeley. It got me hooked again on the music. In the last 10 years I have gone through all the stuff, trading components in and out to arrive at where I am today. The only piece not swapped has been the Virgo’s. Those of you who have had Virgo’s, especially before the change, what did you get? Knowing that every speaker has a sound or style if you will, what was the next step to get you to the next level?
