Review: Verity Audio Sarastro Speaker


Category: Speakers

1st day- (they are replacing my B&W CM4)I want to return them as they are about %30 bigger than the B&W's and seem to overwhelm spatially & sonicly my room (11'x20'). Mr.Pelchat (vice president of VERITY) offer to come to my house to position the SARASTRO's for me (I settle for his emails showing various options he has personally tried for me).
THE SOUND (1 month later): the most precise BASS i've heard .....pinpoint and deep, MIDRANGE & TWEETER: surreal imaging SARAH BRIGHTMAN (i've heard her 4 rows away live) is in my living room! depth and air like you would not believe......transparent & detailed, MILES DAVIS is playing from KIND OF BLUE for me, scintillating trumpet highs piercing my ears i have not heard highs like this....and with an unbelievable coherence and naturalness in the overall sound. Auditioned WP7, DYNEAUDIO& JMLABS prior......congradulations VERITY and thank you Mr. Pelchat a masterpiece.

I dont know what kind of audio buff you are, but its apparent that you know something about sound quality. I have been looking for the right kind of speaker for the past two years. I have heard the Verity speaker line, but never heard the Sarastro.

There are two speakers that I am interested in, Von Schweikert VR-5SE and the Temptentation. Am I missing out on another speaker thats in that class. What I am trying to accomplish is buying one last speaker.

Where are you located? and can I call you on the phone?
Looking forward to discussing these speakers further.
