Cfluxa, Great posts and thanks for sharing your thoughts.
The only thing about Verity's is that I don't believe
they are quite as efficient as Gibbon's or Silverback's.
The Verity's are a little more difficult to drive, based on their impedance. Obviously, many of the newer Verity's do have similar or higher efficiency ratings than Gibbons or S/B's. Certainly, while most Verity's and DeVore's are comparable efficiency wise, the 0/96's open up more
options.
