Verity Audio Parsifal Ovation

I heard the original Parsifals at a show many years ago and it’s still etched in my mind as one of the best show demos I’ve heard so not at all surprised you’re so taken by them. Their demise is a shame not only because they were great speakers but also because they were one of the relatively few non-horn “audiophile” speakers that were fairly tube friendly so doubly sucks to lose one of those. Enjoy!

(p.s. How about some new pix with those wonderful Parsifals?)

@ozzy62 

So have you now decided to keep them?

@roxy54 

Yes. They are keepers. I posted a not-so-good pic in my virtual system. Not sure how to get it here. They are on sliders and not spiked, but that is the location they are in for now. I'll post better pics later.

Have some tube monoblocks coming today. Not sure which amp will end up staying, but the SMc modded McCormack is awfully good.

The Verity Audio Parsifal is one of the great speakers of the last 30 years - it was the first product that Verity Audio launched, and the Ovation is I believe the 4th of 5 iterations of that venerable design.

I have owned the Parsifal Ovation since 2010 and recently acquired a pair of Verity Audio Arindal speakers - the successors to the Amadis S.  The Arindal was launched in 2022 and only about 70 pairs were made.

Verity Audio was a small company with only 5 to 8 employees in addition to the two principals.  They have left us with an incredible legacy of musically engaging speakers that are non-fatiguing.  They draw you into the music.
