Audio Physic Virgo or Sonus Faber Cremona


I would appreciate some thoughts/recommendations from forum users. I have decided to settle on either the AP Virgo II or SF Cremona floorstanders. While I have heard the original Virgo and loved them, I have not personally heard the Cremonas but have owned SF speakers and like their sonic signature. I am edging towards the Cremonas (bonus of killer looks). But I remembered the impact the Virgos had on me years ago - I actually thought they were the best speakers I have heard then. The imaging were spectacular. Wondering if there's anyone who has owned both. I love disappearing act more than anything else and if the AP is superior in this regards to the SF, I am inclined to go that route. Using mostly tube equipment to drive them. Thanks for sharing!

Hark , I own the Virgo II's and love em. I bought an AP Rhea sub which integrates beautifully. This is all the sound anyone could want. After two years they still give me chills with their accuracy and prescence. The Rhea has taught me what true bass sounds like. One more word of advice, DO NOT let the appearance of a speaker affect your decision. Its tempting, cause you want to have the cool looking system to impress whoever. They dont care , and soon neither will you.
