Audio Physic - Yara - thoughts and info please


I have started the process of looking to upgrade my existing speakers, and happened to come across some Audio Physic Yara's (floor-standing).

I was very impressed by them (nice bass and open high end), but was not familiar with them. I am hoping to hear from others who may be using the Yara's and tell me your experiences with them and what other speakers you may have been looking at and why you went with the Yara's.

In addition, if anyone is using their Yara center, sub or surround (monitor) speakers I'd like to know how they perform. The dealer only had the front floor-standing speakers but can get the centers. I may end up using the Yara's (floor-standing) for both front and rears (for 5.1 and may go to 7.1).

Running with: Will be upgrading existing Pioneer receiver (5 X 110) in the near future to separates - but not sure what yet.

I auditioned the Yaras and were impressed by their clarity, imaging, bass (for their size), and rhythmic quality. Then I auditioned the New Tempo, which took the best qualities of the Yaras up a couple notches. I ended up buying a used pair of Virgo IIs for about the same cost as a new pair of Yaras and am completely happy with them. Moral of the story: Audio Physic makes fantastic sounding, well-engineered speakers, but not a lot people know about them. I had never heard of them when I auditioned the Yara and Tempo, but they were clearly the best sounding speakers in their price range at this particular dealer (at least to my ears).

Today's Buying Tip: A few dealers have dropped the AP line, because of a change in distributors. They have been selling their remaining stock at a deep discount. You might also contact the former distributor, Immedia, to see if they have any more remaining in stock for sale.
