I agree, Cmalak has an excellent grasp/review of both speakers.
I am partial to the Parsifals since I own a pair of Encores. Interestingly, I owned 2 pair of Avalon Eclipses and enjoyed them.
Last year, I heard the big Rockports at CES. They were one of the best speakers I listened to, no doubt. This year I did not see or hear them. I am not familiar with the Miras.
The Veritys do everything exceedingly well. Soundstage, imaging, timbre, articulate well tuned bass. In my room I have the bass backfiring, mainly for looks. I think the bass was a tad better front firing but not so much as to remain so. it would be a shame not to show the fine Makore finish.
They are powered by a VAC 80/80. Very affordable tube amp and excellent synergy.
I was on the hunt once I heard the Parsifals at a friends house. He is an avid audiophile with a world class MBL system, but the Parsifuls, IMHO, are my preference for being in the room with the musicians, feeling the emotion of the performance.
Again, the Rockports, the ones I heard last year, are superb, but I think the Parsifals offer more options (amplification, room placement).
Of course, you should listen to both before spending this kind of money.
Either way I'm sure you'll be happy.
Let us know how this turns out.
