Re: Few bits and pieces
Those Virgos are interesting. Any more photos of those by any chance...?

Hi Diapason
I will take a few more photos tomorrow and post them although given the size limit they may not be great images.

Re: Few bits and pieces
Thank you. Probably best to put them on photobucket or similar and link to them there if size is an issue. Just wondering, are they the kind of speakers that need a lot of space?

Re: Few bits and pieces
They are not very fussy about distance to wall behind them (I used them with no more than 1 foot to rear of speaker) but they do like a little bit of space to the side/like to be set up further apart than some standmounts. Seems to get the best out of the soundstage which is one of the things this speaker was known for. I found with these speakers that they sounded best situated on the long wall in my 13x21 listening room and listening slightly more nearfield. This is in contrast to the Thiel cs6s which sound better going the other way listening at about 10 ft (first order crossovers). Horses for courses I suppose. Have taken the photos this morning so will fond somewhere to post when I get home this evening.
Cheers

Re: Few bits and pieces
Thanks for that. My biggest problem is that none of my positioning options allow for much space at the side, so I should probably pass on these. It's an excellent price for what is, by all accounts, a fantastic speaker. I like the look of the rest of the gear for sale too, best of luck with all of it!
