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?

That is unfortunate I've admired their speakers from afar but never heard one.

Sad - a highly respected Canadian manufacturer of excellent speakers seems to have gone silent.

I have been enjoying my Verity Audio Parsifal Ovations since 2010, and I dreamed of one day going up the Verity Audio food chain to an even better speaker. Sadly that will not be possible.

The VA Parsifal Ovation is an outstanding speaker.  I remember reading 15 years ago that pianist Keith Jarrett owned a pair of VA Parsifals, and that impressed me then as I thought they were very musical speakers and I imagine he did too!

I owned one of their first parsifals over 25 years ago ,very good sounding and 

was solid with most any types of amps . I agree they have not advertised or regulars in the magazines for at least 15 years or more ,which is a major mistake in Audio .it’s too bad , just like Kharma Loudspeakers they were very popular back in the 90s a excellent speaker I owned and is still around mainly in Europe .

Meadowlark totally baffled me ,they made a nice speaker beautiful hard woods 

and all good scan speak drivers and had a pretty decent following.

I was speaking to buy a pair then next thing you know he went out of business .

there was much more to that story which was sad to hear .

Never liked seeing a long running business go down.  I ran my family business which started in 1913 until retirement in 2019.  Passed it on to the next generation successfully on hope it works out for them.  By the way, my first speakers were from STR, 1975.  Anybody remember them or have any history?
