Verity Audio Parsifal Ovation

The Parsifal was Verity Audio's first speaker launched 30 years ago, and the rear firing bass has been a constant in most of their other designs.  

With the Parsifal Ovation you can flip the bass around and have the woofer and bass port face forward.  Why would you do this?  You would do this if you had to place the speaker against the wall.  If the bass unit is facing backwards (ie facing the front wall) the speakers need to be several feet from the wall.  This feature gives you flexibility in placement options.

I recently moved my Parsifal Ovations to a second system where they are against the wall with the bass unit facing forward, and it works well and sounds superb in that particular situation.

It's sad that you have to explain. Anyone remotely familiar with Verity Audio would already know this. Especially @sounds_real_audio, since he seems have a handle on how they sound and promotes himself as the "resident expert".....

This is what happens when you smoke too much weed.

Thanks Toronto. The Parsifal that I heard did not have that option....no doubt the provided that option to eliminate the issue I was referring to. In the setting I listened in the owner had a ton of sound proofing behind them and to my ears they sounded muffled. The electronics wore very high end and I could not fault them..

Ozzy take your medication.....and enter anger management therapy. lol

@sounds_real_audio Your initial comment was silly and obnoxious and your subsequent responses are only making you look worse. It’s evident the one instance where you heard Parsifals they were compromised likely in both their placement and with too much sound proofing that could make many speakers sound muffled (I heard that effect once listening to some Rockport speakers in an over-damped room but knew better than to blame it on the speakers). You’re the only one I’ve ever read saying anything remotely negative about the Parsifals, and considering the source it’s obvious what your opinion here is worth. Go troll elsewhere.
