Your favorite musical non fatiguing speakers?

Larrybou, did you get the speakers? I've been checking the thread every few days.

I love Verity. I've cycled through many of the above and they sound the best to me. Even up against the marketing machine companies like Wilson or Magico I think Verity shines. If I had real money I would probably own Rockports.

I'm curious to learn about your process and final decision. Please keep posting.

Larrybou, what have you learned from this thread? Any insights?

How did you end up buying the Verity speakers? What are you impressions?

Nice Larrybou, when do you expect to have them? I worked my way through the Verity line starting with the Tamino, awesome speaker. After that I made several mistakes/progressions with Totem, Devore, Zu, etc.

Next I listened to a pair of Fidelio Encores at a local shop that I love, Goodwin's High End, in Waltham, MA, and knew I had to get back to the Verity line again. I bought them. A couple years later they had a pair of used Parsifal for sale and I took the hour ride to get them. The rest is history. I think I'm done unless I hit the lottery or downsize. I don't play the lottery.

I have worked for a few dealers over the years and have had Wilson, Devore, Magico, and Rockport speakers in my house. For my space and budget the Verity's are the best. I'd be a Rockport owner if I had a big room and big budget. There are better speakers and it all comes to personal taste... except Wilson Audio... Can't stand them. Wilson survives on marketing hype.

I recommend setting them on heavy towels without spikes, and move them around. Have fun. Please share your feedback.

Larrybou, I definitely recommend spikes. What I was trying to say is that I like to keep them on towels because I can easily slide them to many different listening positions. I have wood floors so this method works for me. After that I fine tune with spikes.

Good luck and I look forward to your opinions.

Hope you enjoy them. Also non fatiguing but very detailed are Magico. I think in a few years there will be a good Rockport, Verity and Magico shootout. They all have extreme lines. They all have mid-fi speakers. They are my favorites.

I've heard the Parsifal's potential at Goodwin's in Boston. They sound much better there than in my room. I still love them and understand a speakers potential is limited by my adventure and wealth. Pretty simple stuff here.

Larrybou,

Yes I am Very familiar with the Parsifal, I've owned them for 3 years and love them. I was just saying that I've heard them in one of the best rooms in the world with incredible gear, so I know what they are capable of. I would throw 40k at them before replacing them.

I also use a Rel Stadium III sub, when in the mood. It blends perfectly and adds the feel that only the Stadium III can add (IME better than JL series). Try to listen to one if you can because it will add another level to the enjoyment.

Glad you like them. I've had the Museaus cables and found them very dull and dark. I did like some qualities like smooth, tuneful in the midrange and bass, but I currently have Nordost Frey 2 and 1 Hiemdall 2, 2 Valhalla, with QX 4 and QB 8 purifiers. I'm not a cable snob but did some work for a rep in the past and respect what Nordost adds to the experience.

Mapman do you do acid?

I'd say they're a good deal at that price point and easy to find because he keeps spelling them wrong. I think you should give them a few months but you seem really stressed. What are you going after next?

Hang on Larry. Get your power issues figured out. You sound like the guy in the movie "Powder", I think it was called.

Hope it all work out in the best!
