Verity Audio

Hi All,

Has anyone tested or own the Verity Audio Tamino or especially the Tamino Monitor? I am exploring the option of setting up a 2ch system using Spectral Audio components and am looking for a small monitor such as a Tamino or a Dynaudio S1.4. I am at the beginning of my search so any comments would be great.

I recently auditioned the Tamino X2 and really liked it. They also agreed to build a pair in the Macore finish for a little extra money. I then auditioned a pair of dynaudio special 25's, about the same money as the Tamino. I fell in love with the Dynaudio's. Much Much bigger sound stage, sweeter mids and highs, greater depth and much lower and tighter bass. I bought the Special 25's. I do think that both are great speakers and the Verity's finish work is about the best there is. You are paying a premium for finish but I do not think that is a bad thing.

Hi Davt,

I am hearing more or less alot of what you have mentioned in your thread. I think the finish work is important to me but I really want the sound to be the number one feature obviously. Unfortuantely I think the Tamino will be to small for my room (17'x32').

I started the Thread because I like Verity products and was curious about their performance but I am leaning toward looking at Wilson Audio speakers at the moment and increasing my initial budget.

Redspectral, with all due respect, someone interested in Verity's sound and build cannot fall for Wilson, can he?!!!! if you increase your budget to match Wilson "Plutonian" asking price, may be you should be looking at a pair of Verity Parsifal or Avalon Opus. They would fill your room with music, no more no less.

Beheme,

I would love the Verity Parifal but 20K is not my budget. When I mentioned the Wilson line I actually meant the Sophia 2. As for the Avalon, I have not heard them yet. What don't you like
about the Wilson's? I think their finish is actually really nice....maybe not at Verity's level but close. As much as I like the Verity line I do feel you pay a premium for their finish. Anyhow I still have to go audition these speakers again. I also thought Wilson my be a great combo with Spectral . What do you think?
