I have heard the Verity Parsifals.... Very, very nice. I had a set at home for a day. I volunteered to be the midway point for a pickup of a friends sale. They are very nice... they sounded better though when I heard them demoed using a Tact room correction unit as the bass reflex can get bomy in normal sized rooms. $14400 is a lot of money. $8000 is still a ton of money for the fidelios which I haven't heard but imagine are quite good. The Parsifals also benefitted greatly from using the custom Symposium Sveltes between the two sections of the cabinet. I really do feel like that are overpriced in terms of sound for the dollar. You are paying a huge amount for their high gloss finish and jewelry like hardware.
As you know I had the Virgo III's and agree entirely with the above poster. The Virgo II's could play some music (despite that big midbass hump) but the III's I just plain don't get.
Even at those used prices you'd be paying twice the amount that you need to get really great sound.
