Audio Physic Virgos......

I have the AP Libras, which I power with Bel Canto EvO 200.2 monoblocks. The combination works beautifully.

The Virgo's sing with my Spectral DMA 200. The amp is class A and very fast. The amp allows the speakers to work to their fullest potential as it is very detailed and musical.

I used a BAT VK60. Loved it.

Pass Labs Aleph 2 Monoblocks, perfect. I also use BAT VK200 also with good results.

I've heard the APV's several times with the Hovland preamp and amp. For some reason they are being positioned as a natural combination. As a combination they offer stunning detail and imaging and are not harsh, but every time I heard them I felt that something was missing - harmonic information or "musicality", whatever you call it. I would not be happy owning this combination and I would caution against purchasing this combination unless you have a chance to hear it and develop your own opinion. There definitely were other listeners who liked it, and some others who also disliked it, citing the same issues I did.
