Audio Physic Virgo Solid State Amps ?

I used to own Virgos powered by vt100 mkI with Terra subwoofer. With the Terra they sounded better with vt100 mkI than mkII! By themselves they sounded best with BEL (Brown Electronic Labs) 1001 MkVs. These amps are hand tuned solid state pure class A 200 watts mono or 50 watts stereo which will still power the Virgos incredibly well. I have already sold my Virgos but still have the BELs for sale. I am totally biased but just as the Virgo defies belief so the BEL astonishes.

Stay away from the BEL. It is junk and one of the biggest ripoffs in the high end. You wouldn't believe how little a BEL costs to make.

I bought a demo McCormack DNA-1 and sent it back to Steve McCormack for serious upgrade. Total price is within your budget. If you like speed and detail (I assume you do since you have Virgos), this is a match.

Phill, I'm really interested. How little does it cost to make a BEL amp, Richard Brown's time to hand tune them included?

How about Virgos with a tube amp, how much power do they need to be at their best??
