Verity speakers opinions/experience?


Hey all,

for or some time now I've been intrigued by Verity speakers, but have never had a chance to listen or audition. 

Any Verity owners or experienced listeners want to chime in?

I've never heard them, but the Parsifal Encore's have always been on my Mount Rushmore of speakers I wanted to own.  

Verity has a strong reputation and Agon members who's opinions I respect  & trust speak highly of them.   
i have heard them at Seattle HiFi, cant remember the exact model and revision level but they were about $40 k at retail and i believe very competitive- neutral and coherent with great image depth...NOT hifi at all.....
Front end was Jadis pre, Berkley DAC, Ayre SS power amp...

I heard the Ovation with Nagra electronics, the Parsafal with Berning electronics and the Sarastro don't remember the electronics. All at the Montreal show in 2005. The Parsifal/Berning set-up one of the ground floor large rooms was the highlight of the show to me. I spent the majority of the 3 days in that room. It was a dismal, rainey weekend so visiting the sights was limited. One of my biggest regrets was not taking advantage of purchasing those speakers at a significant discount. They are indeed special speakers and priced accordingly. The sound by the end of the weekend was just amazing, real lifelike dynamics. I would attribute much of this to the proto Berning amp and pre. The other Verity rooms were excellent as well but in smaller spaces. Among my most memorable audio experiences .
