Te koop: voor de liefhebber, of verzamelaar,zeer speciaal, bijna niet meer te vinden in deze staat, echt subliem klinkende audio physic virgo 2. Deze luidsprekers hebben joachim gerhard zijn naam mee
For Audio Physic VIRGO speakers, this is basically a buyer’s market at the moment, and €1,490 lands right on the median of recent comparable EUR listings. That makes it a fair asking price rather than a steal or a stretch, with the 25th percentile at €1,295 and the 75th percentile at €1,887 giving plenty of room on either side.
The VIRGO has a strong reputation for speed, imaging, and a spacious, refined presentation that rewards careful setup, so a clean pair can be a very satisfying long-term buy. At this price, the real upside is getting a respected, high-end design without paying top-of-market money; I’d mainly want clarity on cosmetic condition, driver health, and whether the original packaging, grilles, or spikes are included, since those details matter more than chasing a lower number here.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Audio Physic, a German loudspeaker specialist, was founded in 1985 in Brilon, Sauerland, by Joachim Gerhard and Willi Hegener (also referenced as Wilhelm Hegener). Dissatisfied with prevailing speaker designs, Gerhard modified units like the ProAc Tablette, leading to their debut Tempo bookshelf model and rapid acclaim. The 1989 Avanti flagship cemented their breakthrough, earning international praise in The Absolute Sound and establishing a signature style of compact, elegantly finished speakers with audiophile precision. Handcrafted in their Brilon facility to this day, the brand remains one of Germany's few remaining loudspeaker makers, sourcing locally for quality control.
The company focuses exclusively on high-end loudspeakers, eschewing amplifiers, turntables, DACs, headphones, or cables. Their portfolio spans bookshelf, floorstanding, and statement models, renowned for innovations like downward-firing bass drivers—a hallmark from the Avanti—and vibration-damping techniques via 3D printing. Developers like Gerhard, dubbed "the Magician," and current chief Manfred Diestertich prioritize detail retrieval, expansive soundstaging, and dynamic resolution.
Positioned firmly in the high-end market, Audio Physic commands respect among discerning audiophiles for "no loss of fine detail," blending living-room-friendly designs with reference-level performance. Over four decades, they've evolved from garage origins to global benchmarks in resolution and musicality, appealing to buyers seeking German engineering's obstinate pursuit of sonic truth.
