Verity Parsifal Encore opinions

I would echo the comments of the other people. The verity are a superbly built speaker with huge wife acceptance factor. The sound is very good and the above comments are accurate. I also listened to the piega p8ltd which is the speaker I ultimately preferred over the verity though this is entirely personal. I would suggest you may want to audition this speaker too as they are in a similar price range. Feel free to drop me a note if any questions.

I found these speakers nice & very polite. They have good manners without being weak. Pls note that all my auditions were with Lamm electronics. These speakers seem to play everything (at least) well, some things better than "well" (chamber music, in my case). They are VERY difficult to fault: i.e. point to something that doesn't sound quite right, as opposed to something else that sounds majestic. Also, they are reasonably phase accurate, as stated above (comparing a live performance to a cd, as best I can... i.e. not very accurately).
These are just impressions, don't forget, and I haven't lived with these speakers, not tried a variety of amps on them...

Let's also not forget about the custom shipping crates! A real nice touch from fantastic sounding speaker and a first class company!

For me in any price range this the most beatifull sounding speaker if you find right synergy in your systeem and be carefull if you have them VERY DIFICULT THE FIND THE RIGHT PLACEMENT BUT IF YOU FIND IT ...

Actually they're very EASY to place if you move them out into the room and flip the woofer pods around to FRONT-firing. Results in an incredibly coherent wavefront in the nearfield. For placement closer than 5' from the front wall I'd then start to use rear-firing to dial in bass balance. Too bad the cheaper Fidelio doesn't offer the same flexibility, and thus has a huge disadvantage....
