Offered is „Virgo 2“ by Audio Physic as second-hand device from the category „Standing Speaker“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 2727925928 ends on 23.10.2026 at 10:30 o'clock.
At €1,490, this sits a touch above the €1,376 median but still well inside the normal used band, so it reads as a fair ask rather than a stretch. It is not a bargain-bin price, yet it is comfortably below the €2,972 upper quartile, which makes it reasonable for a clean, desirable pair.
VIRGOs are respected for a spacious, refined presentation with real scale and imaging, the kind of speaker that rewards careful placement and good partnering gear. If the cabinets, drivers, and grilles are genuinely tidy, this is the sort of used buy that makes sense for someone who wants serious performance without paying top-of-market money. For a listing at this level, originality, condition, and whether the original packaging/spikes/manuals are included are the main things worth confirming.
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.
