3a l'integral nouveau Vs. Verity parisfal encore

Anyone heard both? How is there sound different/the same? Does the verity sound more like a wilson product than the nouveau? My memory of wilson was that it has, relatively speaking, a leaner type of presentation (kinda sorta like a merlin). But mostly I'm curious as to how the first two compare...

I used to own deCapos and still own P/Es and Merlin VSMs. This is not the comparison you were seeking comment on, but...

The Verity AIN"T LEAN!!

Certainly not in comparison with Wilson or Merlin or the deCapo.

FWIW

Cat,

If my previous communications didn't make it clear, in my experience the Verity is far, far "denser" than either the VSM or the deCapo - if I get your analogy. The physicality of music is more dramatic on the P/E. OTOH, individual instrumental lines "float in space" more eerily on the VSM, IMHO. The newer Merlins certainly are superior to previous versions in their ability to convey impact, but don't reach the level of the P/E. You may prefer the VSM or the Verity (a case could certainly be made for either), but by the narrow standard you've identified I can't imagine that the VSM (forget the decapo) could match the Verity.
