Verity Audio Parsifal vs Vienna Acoustics Kiss

Hi

Am currently using a pair of Vienna Acoustics Kiss speakers driven by Pass Labs X 350.8.

There are a pair of Verity Audio Parsifal Ovation's for sale used locally.

Can anyone tell me how they compare?

I cannot hear them in my system.

I have previously heard them and the lower end model the Leonore in a demo with Nagra gear and found the sound to be very natural with the music flowing with great ease and quite effortlessly. In that system, my impressions were of less speed and PRAT, with a less visceral presence than the VA Kiss but with a more natural musical flow.

I am unsure if they boogie as the selections played were mostly vocals.

Any comments appreciated.

ever try contacting the 'local' owner and setting up a demo using your own music?

although that outfit and your own will be different one can always see how speakers perform with various musical genres in terms of leading edge definition, dynamics, speed, etc., all of which it seems, attend to your needs/desires.

good luck.

Ebm is totally wrong, the Verity is a very well made speaker it is not a better speaker or better made then the Kiss. 

All you need is a good subwoofer to go with you speakers. 

The Kiss is a very musical loudspeaker that does many things well, the main difference is bass response which on the Veritiy speaker is indeed better.

Add a good fast subwoofer, we have a few ideas for you, and perhaps look at improving your sources.
