No love for Verity?

Reading through the myriad "recommend a speaker" threads, the list of the "usual suspects" often seems to be headed by Vandersteen and Magnepan, together with a bunch of others (Harbeth, Wilson, etc., etc.).  But I can't remember the last time when in one of these threads I read of someone recommending Verity.  What gives?  Are all the satisfied Verity owners over on one of the other forums?

Verity Parsifals are one of the best high end speakers I’ve had. I’ve owned 3 pairs!
Lovely tonal balance*, wide, pinpoint soundstage, one of the best looking speakers out there. 
* bass is a bit light, but, it does not take away from the music. A subwoofer is a good option, of course. 
Verity speakers are at the top of the heap IMHO.

Agree with the above comments.  These will get you off the Merry-go-round. They are very musical, well made and beautiful too.  I bought my P.E.s a few years ago and love them.  Probably my last pair of speakers and I have owned (or still own) ProAcs, Magnepans, and Sonus faber.

Yes I've always admired the honest musicality of the Veritys--smooth,full bodied, rich tonally--not everyones cuppa but more pleasing and satisfying for long term listening than say Magico( fatiguing!) YG, B+W's

Question if I may, with the Verity's having rear firing woofers how far from the rear wall is "optimal" for placement?
