Verity Parsifal Ovation vs. Encore?

The ovation should be better but I would get the Encores if you can get it at a bargain price. I used to have the original Verity Parsifal and the bass was never boomy. If you are going to position it 2-3 feet the wall behind them, you should face the base module woofer to the front.

The P/Es may be just a hair warmer than dead neutal, but I've never gotten "boomy" bass in 10 years and 4 diferent listening rooms.

Good Luck,

Marty

Thanks!

The encore could not be upgraded to the Ovation status because of the woofer enclosure that is larger.
Ovation deserve a much higher price and very rare on the used market if you ever find a pair of encore make sure that it is the latest version in asking the serial number and have an email at Verity Audio in Quebec city (very useful service)
The bass will be never boomy since you have a very good at least 100 WPC amplifier(SS) or even a tube amps (better match) also you could put your woofer in the front firing position

Thanks for the help. How is relatively-nearfield listening,
about 7-8 feet from front of the speaker? Thanks again.
