Audio Physic Virgo III speakers, Stereophile recommended component with original boxes and matching serial numbers.
This is the original Virgo III. The latest version of Virgo III speakers retails for $17,000  (https://audiophysicusa.com/collections/floorstanding-loudspeakers/products/audio-physic-virgo-iii)
Beautiful cherry wood finish 100% working condition. Cosmetically I would conservatively give it 7-8 out of 10. There's small dent on top left on one speaker (photo #7) and minor markings on the back and sides, nothing really visible from the sitting position. One grille has small hole. Please check the photographs for details.

From Stereophile Magazine: The bottom line is that the Audio Physic Virgo III is an excellent loudspeaker that I could happily live with for a long time. It's not the perfect match for my room, but even there, a pair of them worked very well, in both the audiophile and, even more, the musical senses. In a smaller room, my caveats about low bass power and dynamic impact would likely come off the scorecard.
The Virgo III is a floorstanding three-way and, true to its minimonitor-plus-woofer concept, is essentially Audio Physic's Brilon minimonitor mated to a woofer assembly. The minimonitor component consists of ring-radiator tweeter custom-made for Audio Physic by VIFA, and a 4.5" aluminum-cone midrange custom-built by SEAS. The rationale behind a ring radiator—imagine a ring suspended along its inner and outer circumferences and driven along a circle midway between the two—is that it combines a large driven area with a relatively short distance between the point where the diaphragm is driven and either of the two points it's suspended. The short suspended distances reduce distortion products, and the large driven area increases sound-pressure-level capability and allows the tweeter to be used at lower frequencies. This last benefit supports AP's desire to move the midrange-tweeter crossover from 3kHz—where it could affect female vocal and violin reproduction—to a theoretically less intrusive 1.8kHz The aluminum midrange incorporates a bit of trickery as well, in the form of AP's unique "active cone damping" system, which puts the cone in tension and thus raises its inherent resonances to well above the audioband. As with earlier Virgo models, the midrange driver is enclosed in its own trapezoidal housing, built within the main cabinet structure.
