Virgo II versus J.M. Reynaud's Evolution 3 speaker


I have an opportunity to buy "mint-used" of either the "older" Virgo II or Reynaud's Evolution 3. I have heard the Virgo II several times and liked them, but also know they are finicky about upstream electronics, speaker cable, and the bass is a bit thin. Reynaud's Evolution three, I have not heard but reviews have been strong, especially a recent one in the Listener Mag. Would appreciatre all opinions and experiences with these two speakers. (Also, opinions welcomed about the new model Virgo III which I have heard and liked, but are too expensive and nobody wants to "deal" on them; I am not sure they are better,or just different than Virgo II.) Thank you, Jimbo

The Virgo III's need to be much more carefully matched with very high quality electronics. The tweeter is very revealing and can sound unbelievable in the right setting. Also note that they have only been out a couple of months so ther are few pairs that have been thoroughly broken and set up prperly with well matched gear. Time will show this to be one of the most transparent and resolving speakers available.
