Verity Audio speaker manufacturer silent...


Verity Audio, the venerable Canadian speaker manufacturer in Quebec City that launched with the venerable Parsifal speaker in the 1990's seems to have gone silent.  Their website is up but their main phone number is out of service, and their CEO's LinkedIn profile shows he is looking for work.

Does anyone one know what has happened at Verity Audio?  When did this happen and why?  Are they restructuring or have they ceased operations?

A couple months ago someone else mentioned they heard they were going out of business. If true it’s sad because they made truly excellent sounding speakers and one of the relative few that were tube friendly, but their marketing was always non existent — very few dealers, no reviews, no ads, rarely at shows, etc. so it’s not a total surprise.  Seems like it was an outstanding product in dire need of just some basic marketing/management, so I guess it’s not all that surprising they’d even fumble their going out of business communications. Their CEO is gonna have some explaining to do when looking for a new job as he apparently did nothing.  Very sad, and I find myself hoping someone with some business acumen and deep pockets will come to the rescue but probably unlikely.

Sad indeed. Love my Parsifal Encores. Just so easy on the ears. Tried to mate a subwoofer but concluded they really didn't need one when set up properly. It was always surprising to me that they had so few dealers.
