Audio Physic Caldera mkii...still good?


Hi,

I just bought (without hearing) some 7yr old Audio Phyic Calderas for £1750 UK. They havent arrived yet...so i thought i'd ask about your opinions!!!

Are they as good as say a newer Virgo III?

How do they compare to the Dynaudio Condifence 5 of the same age? I had the Dyns and loved them...regret selling them!

As a comparison i recently sold my Dali Euphonia MS4's...they were very good but i sold them for almost double what i paid for the Calderas :))

+'s and -'s appreciated...i can take it...i think!

p.s. When I said,
"I'd GUESS that the Calderas are much, much better than the Virgos based on what I've read..."
...I did NOT mean that the Virgos were bad or even sub-par in any way, shape or form. The Virgos are pretty much uniformly praised, and the only point was that I'd expect the Calderas to be even better than that already fine loudspeaker. Like you, I've long been fascinated with the Audio Physic line, and for precisely the same reason (if I'm inferring correctly from your post), i.e. IMAGING. Congrats.

p.p.s.---> Please let us know whether you end up liking the Calderas, either way.

Well??? How do the Calderas sound in your system? I am sincerely interested in your experience with this legendary speaker, which presumably you've received by now.
Unbelieveably i havent yet! They are on their way from Switzerland hopefully this week. I had to postpone payment due to a family member having an accident.

I'll let you know!

Richard,
Thanks for the update. I hope your family member is okay! Prediction: You will find that these were worth the wait. Just a prediction, will await your impressions.
