Del,
I haven't heard the Virgos but have owned the Berning amp. I very much liked the way they sounded with several speakers. They didn't have the typical lush,slow tube amp sound. If you have any doubts about them I can assuage your fears by saying that they are completely reliable,quiet, and professionally built. David Berning does very little if any advertising and is not that well known but has been manufacturing amplifiers for over 10 years I believe. If you like them, don't be afraid to buy them. Check out the Berning website. You can read about some really innovative technology. Have fun listening.
