Audio Physics Virgo II's; What amp?

I used a Pass Labs Aleph 5 amp which was an excellent pairing.

I heard them today with a push-pull 2A3 amplifier, and despite the low wattage, found the match to be fantastic.

Considering you could purchase this combination for $3500 - $5000, I've heard many a system at 10X+ this price that didn't come close. Not sure why I've never bought a pair, as I've always considered them over the past decade.

I have just sold my virgo's and bought the new virgo 25,un real difference and have used many amps.the best was vac ren 30-30 or the new 200 phi.the stage is so smooth and the wires are very important also.try the audience au24 "e version

I had 300b mono blocks MB25 iconaudio that sounded amazing and now replaced these with Hegel H70. The sound is superb !!! though the higher amp, Hegel H100, sounded weird... There is some kind of a matching issue that the virgos are sensitive to and it seems to me that they perform at best with low power amps that are capable providing high current... But this is just my guess so don't criticize me if I am wrong :) but I would like to hear if somebody had also such experience

I used a MF Tri-Vista integrated with the Virgo IIs and it was a great combination
