Firstly, are there any upgrades available to your Parsifals through Verity? I know there have been a number of tweeter variants in this design and if I'm not mistaken the Encore production run used two different tweeters (perhaps the Ovation tweeter could be available). So the bottom line is that I would investigate all possible upgrades before going forward. In considering this move, your existing amplification would probably be even more suitable for the Eidolon's than the Parsifal's.
Avalon Eidolon or Parsifal Encore
I currently own the Verity Audio Parsifal Encores and am perfectly happy with them. However, a long time ago I heared a phenomenally sounding pair of Avalon Radian HC's, so I am intruiged by the pair of Avalon Eidolon's that is currenlty listed on auction. If I can pick them up at the right price I would consider doing an in house shoot out against the Verities and keep what I like best. Obviously, besides the financial ramifications, this is a big hassle involving shipping heavy boxes coast to coast, so before I decide whether to bid an the Avalon's I am interested in any opinions on how these two speakers compare. I listen mostly to small acoustic ensemble music (right in the Verity's sweetspot), and I use 200 Wpc pure class A monoblocks. Any comments are welcome.
