Hi predrag,
Not to change the subject of the thread but I would love to know how your friend regards the Virgos vs the EB1's. I've developed an interest in the Scorpio II, Virgo V and Avanti V. Since it would be impossible for me to actually compare them to the EB1, PB1 or IB2 using the 7Bs, perhaps you could shed some light on the question regarding the general differences between the two product lines.
Thank you,
Bill
Maybe I can jump in, I listened extensively to EB1i and latest Scorpio, to some lesser extent to Virgo.
It was not side by side comparison, but was long and frequent enough to allow me to draw reasonable conclusions.
Main points would be that Audio Physic speakers have very good midrange which I would dare to say matches or surpasses EB1i but not IB2 and higher models in PMC line-up, while the bass performance is disappointing in Audio Physic (not lack of bass, but lack of definition), especially when comparing to bass performance of EB1i which IMO surpasses that of IB2 and MB2.
It would seem that smaller Audio Physic speakers are less problematic in bass.
Note that I am talking in more or less absolute terms, for example it does not imply that Audio Physic bass is bad, just that it was not among the best, same as midrange on EB1i, not bad but not something to write home about either.
