Audio Physic's "New" Virgo---Better?? How So??

Need some input and opinion on the "new and improved" Virgo by Audio Physic, especially about the type of improvements over the old model.I recently heard them driven by a pair of 50 watt Cary amps. They sounded good to very good, but somewhat constricted in dynamics, and a tad biting in the high frequencies. The dealer said they still had not been broken in yet which might have accounted for some brightness and lack of dynamics. I know this model has been a classic, but is it that much better than the original, that is, better bass, and more slam, weight or body to the sound which the "older" Virgo seriously lacked

I notice a few folks mentioned the use of a sub with the Virgos. I used a REL Strata II with mine and was very disappointed - it just added some bloom to the bottom end. I guess a more expensive REL may work better, but I found the Virgos offered enough bottem end by themselves.

Other equipment is SF Line 3, Blue Circle BC2 monos, YBA CD1a, SPM ICs and FIM Gold Speaker Cable.
