Upgrading from Kharma 3.2 to Verity Parsifal

Argyo
I have a friend who is getting a pair of Sarastroses and he is beside himself with excitement.I think your move will not be lateral as you have inferred. Rather, it maybe your glimpse of heaven on earth.I have heard nothing but great things on the Verity stuff and may even consider updating one day ( I just stole a pair of Sim W-10 monos so I must lay low for a while).I think the Karma is a great speaker but more on the analytic side where as Verity is known for it's rich texture and dynamic ability.If you are tempted you should look up the Verity line and you may find a bigger angel.Fullrange is worth a lot in musical terms!!Hope this helps Dennis

Look into REL sub-bass system using the B3.

Thanks a lot for your responses!
Today I had the chance of listening to the Verity Sarastro!
A pretty amazing speaker!So I'm considering buying it!
What is your opinion on this speaker?
Some people say that it is not so good at playing rock music!I expect from a speaker in this price range to play all kinds of music!
Also is it really full range?Verity states that it goes down to 20Hz but some people mention 25Hz?
Thanks a lot!
Regards,

if the dealer that you are demoing is serious,then, you should ask to try them in your system with your cable s and amps.Fullrange is very system dependent when you start talking the lowest octave. I think 25hz might be enough if the speaker does everything else superbly, remember, very little info is plumbing those depths ( mainly acoustic I suspect).I am a firm believer that enough wattage can cure any speaker (1400 @4ohms seems to do the trick).Hope this helps and good luck in your choice-Dennis

Michael,

I went from a $100,000 pair of Kharma Exquisite Diamonds to the Verity Sarastro II and I can ASSURE you without any doubt that they will do rock at real world volumes. As far as their bass goes, this is where set-up is crucial and, as Cenline points out, your choice of amplifiers. My room is 14' x 18' x 8' and heavily treated, I use Lamm M1.2 Reference monoblocks and I have no problem getting articulate clean bass from them.
