Verity speakers for $7k or less?

" I don't want to go shy on detail either because from what I've heard the Verity does a good job with detail revealing it in a musical, non-fatiguing way."
Indeed they do. I preferred them with tubes, but in no way did they sound bad with solid state.

I would take a listen to the Monitor Audio Pl-200. This speaker is fast as a rocket. Usses crossover which can give a deep and wide stage as only the best can. They are better compared to the C2. Also there ribbon tweeters are more open compared to the Isotar of the C2's. Within the wide and deep stage they can give a much sharper individual focus ( a more physical and papable image) compared to the C2's. There ribbon tweeter can also project the stage even in front of you. This make the whole stage extreme holographic. This level is only available with the best speakers you can buy.

But you need an amp which can give a 3 dimensional stage. Like amps as Pass Labs and tube amps.

I have the Rienzis with Mark Levinson 331 and Hegel DAC + preamp.
They are no ACDC-speakers...;)
Jazz, classical, accoustic instruments....sound great.
It takes a while to find the right place for them in a room, and they have a very define sweetspot.
I will keep them for a long time.

All-

would love to audition some Verity models. Owners, please list your local/fave Verity dealers/retailers.

Off of the top- I am interested in listening to the Rienzi and Parisfal models for openers. Also feel free to llist the best brand(s) of gear (including cables/cords) that really make them sing!

Happy Listening!
