Can anyone tell me about VERITY AUDIO PARSIFAL

I have owned a truckload of speakers in the last 30 years, including Parsifal and Fidelio.

Parsifals ate the best I ever owned. They are refined and revealing, and great with tubes. If you find them bland, it may be because you are using them with bland amplification or cables...

Dude, the Lawrence audio line has always intrigued me. What're your impressions? 

They sound very, very, good right out the box! Musically, the separation in sound makes it sound like a 5.1 system, plus the voices are amazingly true to the singer. The speakers bass has a nice thump and they’re very forgiving when it comes to lack of room acoustics, especially in my environment. As you probably know, they have a beautiful finish, mines black, and they’re somewhat heavy to move, especially once you put the spikes on. It comes in two crates which requires removing screws on front panel and it sits on rollers making it easy to slide out. I’m still experimenting with spacing from the walls and sitting position. Right now, it appears that it does require a large room, but again, i’m still experimenting. I can’t recommend them to the masses yet, but in time i’ll be able to expound on them a little more once i’m finished experimenting with the staging..   

Interesting as I just heard an original pair of the Parsifal speakers  like 20 years old now.  Bland no way, so musical without fatigue.  Bass integration was a very slight issue.  Beautiful wood grain, very beautiful.  We compared them to the Aescendo 9s that we had literally just removed from the shipping boxes $16K.  They are a better sounding audiophile speaker then the Verity but I kept asking myself, the mid range of the Parsifal was so beautiful in the long range would I tire of that?  I also was wondering how much better the Encores would be with the better tweeter?  In some ways more engaging then my Vandersteen 5As.

Happy Listening.

I enjoyed my Parsifal’s quite a bit. They are one of the best speakers I have owned. For my taste, better than Avalon or Kharma. But I came here to stress that they are not tube friendly. YMMV.....Perhaps other Verity models, but not the 89 db, 4 ohm Parsifal’s.
