Verity Audio Leonore and Finn

Buconero117,

I appreciate your comments. My expectation as stated above is based on my nearly 40 years in the hobby and my familiarity with Verity speakers, past and present. In my experience, for the speaker manufacturers whose products I have seriously auditioned, the speaker with the better/best midrange driver has always been the speaker I preferred. In my post, I should have stated and emphasized that fact (i.e, mid-range quality and sonic characteristics), which is a far more important criterion that cost.

And I agree about the blindfold test process. I have done that many times; it is interesting and sometimes surprising!

Best regards,

Steven

How did the Finn compare to the Leonore, or the Rienzi?

I have heard the Finn, and I was impressed - they just drew me into the music.

My local dealer does not have the Leonore or the Rienzi, so comparisons are not possible...

The Leonore has extended lower and upper ranges and a far better midrange than the Finn. A noticeable improvement in the bass compared to the excellent Fidelio Encore which I own. The FE and Leonore are both sonically excellent. I have not heard the Rienzi.

Many thanks!

Mark
