Interesting as I just heard an original pair of the Parsifal speakers like 20 years old now. Bland no way, so musical without fatigue. Bass integration was a very slight issue. Beautiful wood grain, very beautiful. We compared them to the Aescendo 9s that we had literally just removed from the shipping boxes $16K. They are a better sounding audiophile speaker then the Verity but I kept asking myself, the mid range of the Parsifal was so beautiful in the long range would I tire of that? I also was wondering how much better the Encores would be with the better tweeter? In some ways more engaging then my Vandersteen 5As.
Happy Listening.
