Audio Physic Virgo II vs Tempo III

I also think that AP "nailed it" with the Virgo II, but I haven't heard the Tempo III, although some of the series III AP speakers tend to have a brighter, thinner sound than the earlier Virgos (including the Virgo III). I'm using the Virgo II after using the InnerSound Eros II and though somewhat different in its presentation the Virgo II is a very adept and satisfying performer. At the current prices on the used market, they are a steal.

The original Virgo sounded spectacular with the CJ Premier 12 monoblocks (140 w/ch). There are a couple of sellers here on Agon. Not me though.

I did hear some differences between the Virgo III & II but for the used prices of the IIs, just buy them. They only really do certain types of music well but what they do is simply great.

Happy Listening.

I have had the Tempo's and I have replaced them for the Virgo II. The Virgo's are much more coherent, they let you listen to the music and not to the set! The Tempo's are brighter and less forgiven to the music.
