Can anyone tell me about VERITY AUDIO PARSIFAL

Hello,
I have an opportunity to buy VERITY AUDIO PARSIFAL but not sure what the folks on the ground think about them or what to look out for since their pretty old. The reviews seems to be good, but compared to speakers now days, not sure if $6K is money well spent. Can someone help me with pros and cons compared to buying maybe another another brand for $6K?

It's been hard to identify models researching online, but here's the serial no. PM10492. I called Verity and they'll get back to me on Monday with the exact model..

Great responses.... I’m currently listening to Bose 901 VI made in 2018 in a downstairs basement with concrete walls, and they sound great... Should these Verity’s blow me away?

Based on price point, i narrowed it down to these two;
VERITY PARSIFAL and Totem Wind Floor Standing. Can someone chime in on their opinion of the two? I listen to rock, jazz, POP, and sometimes RAP, so bass is important too. I’m driving these with MC501,s...

Is the sound from Parsifal’s still excellent compared to current days speakers in the $10-$12K range? I hear the sound is a little flat and i’m one to think technology may have passed Parsifal’s prime. I won’t have an opportunity to listen to compare is why all these questions before i pull the plug on buying something. I thought about Totem Winds but not sure if they’re better or worse..

Well, outside of everything i wrote or looking for, i bought the Lawrence Audio Double Bass Floor standing speakers. Any thoughts? Good or Bad!

They sound very, very, good right out the box! Musically, the separation in sound makes it sound like a 5.1 system, plus the voices are amazingly true to the singer. The speakers bass has a nice thump and they’re very forgiving when it comes to lack of room acoustics, especially in my environment. As you probably know, they have a beautiful finish, mines black, and they’re somewhat heavy to move, especially once you put the spikes on. It comes in two crates which requires removing screws on front panel and it sits on rollers making it easy to slide out. I’m still experimenting with spacing from the walls and sitting position. Right now, it appears that it does require a large room, but again, i’m still experimenting. I can’t recommend them to the masses yet, but in time i’ll be able to expound on them a little more once i’m finished experimenting with the staging..
