Den fantastiska jubileum utgåvan i Piano Black Finish. Mycket fint skick. För visning och avhämtning i Tumba söder om Stockholm.
Are you buying a solid, fairly priced pair, or paying a slight premium for a clean example? At kr34,000, this sits just above the kr33,321 median and a touch over the kr33,842 75th percentile, so it reads as fair-to-ambitious rather than a bargain.
That still makes sense for a well-regarded speaker like this: the Virgo 25 is known for fast, airy imaging, strong detail retrieval, and a speaker that disappears well when set up right. If the pair is complete and cosmetically tidy, the upside is mostly in getting a serious high-end floorstander without the usual new-price pain; I’d just want to confirm driver health, matched finish, and any original spikes/grilles before moving quickly.
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.
