Verity Audio speaker manufacturer silent...

Verity Audio always prided itself in making engaging speakers that were detailed, effortlessly musical, and easy to listen to for long periods of time without being fatiguing.

Back in 2009 I was researching speakers and auditioned many in my city with the same 3 CDs of music I knew well as test tracks. I even auditioned the out of reach B&W 801. They impressed me with their performance and brawn, but just did not draw me into the music. One day I visited a dealer that carried Verity Audio and I listened to the then entry level Finns. I was immediately impressed with how musically engaging they were - I was drawn into the music. I came back a few days later to have another listen and the dealer had just set up a new pair of Parsifal Ovations. They were several levels up from the Finns, and a whole different level of musicality and performance. I knew I had found something special, and I have been enjoying them almost daily since 2010. Thank you Verity Audio!

Bummer - Heard them many times. Really a nicely  constructed speaker. Wish everyone there well.

I have owned many speakers including Avalon Isis, Tannoy Canterbury GRs, Graham, Quad ESL, JMLab, B&W.  None made me as happy as the Verity Lohengrins 2.   I also had the Sarastro 2 and Amadis S which were very good as well.  The Verity offer a fine balance of natural tone, detail, micro and macrodynamics that I find very satisfying.  If the news of Verity's closing is true, I am sad to lose such a speaker manufacturer.   Thank you Verity.

@czarivey  ....good point 'bout children & parents.....

If one gets to spend too much time either involved or ignored by the 'family biz',

you can't rationally expect them to be always pleased about it.....

IMO 3 factors caused the demise of Verity Audio.

1-Cost 2-Lack of Advertising 3-Audiophiles

1-When the entry level point is around $10k(Finn) for a small floorstander that can easily get lost in the shuffle when compared to competitors or even its larger superior siblings. Build an extreme level standmount that exceeds the perceived leader(Focal Diablo Evo) at a lower cost. This would showcase the best of Verity Audio in compact/concise and more attractive package than the Finn.

2-Many Audiophiles need visual or printed validation, word of mouth is outdated. Succumb to the YouTube circus of clowns.

3-Audiophiles are listening to less acoustical based music so the need for a "Finesse" type of speaker has diminished. Many want a speaker that is a Jack of all trades master of none. Eilish/JurassicPark/EDM over Ella/Beethoven/EWF, the more subwoofers the better!
