Verity Audio midrange drivers?

In my search for new speakers, I auditioned the Verity Audio Finn at a local dealer. They were very musically absorbing, and may have nudged ahead of the B&W 803d on my short-list.

Going up the Verity Audio food chain are the Rienzi and then the Leonore, which I cannot audition locally.

My question is how do the quality of the midrange drivers compare between the Finn, Rienzi, and Leonore? Which of these speakers use the best midrange driver(s)?

Or put another way, if the midrange is important to you, which of these speakers stand out?

Regards,

Mark,

I owned as pair of Rienzi speakers for a year or so. Without a doubt, the best sounding speaker that I've ever owned and I've owned some good ones. I have recently spoken to 2 Verity dealers and both told me that they don't like the poplypropolene midrange driver that is in the Rienzi and they both prefer the Finn to the Rienzi. I did get a listen to the Finn and while I thought it sounded really good, I don't think it was as good as the Rienzi. If you can afford the Parsifals, get them. If it's a stretch, then I would recommend the Rienzi. Verity speakers are amazing. Good luck.

Thanks Stratguy,

I never had the opportunity to audition the Rienzis, but I did hear the Finns and the Parsifal Ovations. The Finns had me wanting to hear more, but the Parsifals took my breath away - and so I bought them. I am writing this while listening to them.

Verity Audio is a small company dedicated to making outstanding speakers with passionate committment. And the results are simply stunning.

T416,

Congrats on the Parsifals Did you get them from MKOM? Did you buy the Luxman integrated as well?
