Upgrading from Verity Sarastro I to II

I own the Sarastro I for the past 1.5 year and I couldnt be more satisfied.

Sounds like you should leave well enough alone and just remain happy. Buy more music with the money you save.

John is this your personal preference, or just a general remark? :)

I do not think it is THAT expensive to make the upgrade sth like 3000$ I think.

What makes me wonder is the fact that measurements of I & II are identical in Stereophile, my tweeter (Sarastro I) is considered much better than the one produced by Verity (Sarastro II) and the fact that when I listen to Sarastro II (in different setups though) I can't notice anything that makes them sound that different!

Maybe Verity changed the tweeters to cut down cost?

I am really really curious to hear opinions from people that upgraded their own speakers as I do not think the differences are that big to notice in setups that are not familiar...

Thanks again!

Mike, sorry, that was just a general remark. From reading your post I just thought that you sounded very happy with the Sarastro I's and leery that newer may not be better. As a audiophile for over 30 years I know very well that newer is not always better. One of the greatest lessons along the way is when to leave well enough alone. I can't tell you how many times I was very happy with the sound of my system only to screw it up.

FWIW, I'm using a pair of Verity Parsifal Encore's and love 'em.

Cheers,
John
