Powering Audio Physic Virgos

I am having trouble locating any info on the Audio Physic Virgo I. Most of the info out there is for the newer III version. What amplifiers are people using that own this speaker. Are they extremely inefficient speakers, or would a 50 wpc integrated work in a smallish room. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.

While I can't recommend this as a long term solution, a friend had the 1's and used the 45 watt cj tube integrated for a while with fairly satisfactory results.
How big is the room, what are your tastes, in terms of volumes, and what kind of 50 watt amp are you talking about? Without this information nobody can make a resonable comment or suggestion.
Let us know.

I responded earlier, and just happened to remember that my friend who owned them, borrowed my Avatar, VAC integrated. We sat and watched a great movie, Meet Joe Black, with the scene at the end, fireworks, and a large orchestra playing. This amp just completely (50 wpc, and tubes of course) walked right through them. It was remarkably transparent, and dynamic. Kevin Hayes is brilliant. That Avatar is quite an amp, and actually large enough with those Virgo's for MY taste, and in a large room.
Others may want more. But that was one of those wonderful moments in audio.
Good luck!
