Verity Audio midrange drivers?

Thanks for the suggestion - I bought the Dave Grusin cd yesterday and it is wonderful music making that also sounds wonderful (and its 1993 Redbook).

Speaking of older Redbook, the cd that I keep going back to was recorded in 1988 (!!!), called 'A Tribute To Louis Armstrong' by The Sackville All Stars (Jim Galloway, Ralph Sutton, Milt Hinton, Gus Johnson) - Sackville 3042. It is a real gem, and it also happens to sound wonderful.

Proof that even older Redbook can sometimes sound good!

In the final analysis this is about enjoying the music, not just agonizing over the equipment.

Mark,

I owned as pair of Rienzi speakers for a year or so. Without a doubt, the best sounding speaker that I've ever owned and I've owned some good ones. I have recently spoken to 2 Verity dealers and both told me that they don't like the poplypropolene midrange driver that is in the Rienzi and they both prefer the Finn to the Rienzi. I did get a listen to the Finn and while I thought it sounded really good, I don't think it was as good as the Rienzi. If you can afford the Parsifals, get them. If it's a stretch, then I would recommend the Rienzi. Verity speakers are amazing. Good luck.

Thanks Stratguy,

I never had the opportunity to audition the Rienzis, but I did hear the Finns and the Parsifal Ovations. The Finns had me wanting to hear more, but the Parsifals took my breath away - and so I bought them. I am writing this while listening to them.

Verity Audio is a small company dedicated to making outstanding speakers with passionate committment. And the results are simply stunning.

T416,

Congrats on the Parsifals Did you get them from MKOM? Did you buy the Luxman integrated as well?

Thanks, and yes - see my post above dated 07-18-10.

John at MKOM is a joy to deal with - highly recommended.
