Does Verity Parsifals mate well with solid?


Hi everyone, Im considering a pair of Verity Parsifals floorstandings from the used market. But after some research have found most of the setups are with tubes. Currenntly Im using Lexicon's MC8B, LX7 amp and Denon 5910 all with JPS cabling. My room is used equally as theater as for music.
Since I wont be able to test in my place, Im worried these speakers are not a good match for solids, please any info on this subject will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

First great choice in speakers, I own a pair of the Parsifal Encores and they are truly a great speaker. I am using all Joule Electra components (JE Heaven’s Gate Monos 70 WPC SET, LA 100 MkIII pre, OPS1 phono, Audiomeca Mephisto II.X CD). Tubes do match very well with the Verity’s and this combo is a perfect match. During the summer months I switch to a BAT 5i and VK200 solid state amp due to the heat issue. I prefer tubes but you still get very good results with quality solid state amp.

I owned Kharma 3.1s and sold them to buy Parsifal Encores. The Verity’s are in a totally difference league than the 3.1s. I tried numerous amps with the 3.1s and the only one that really made these sing were OTLs. Other tubes amps were pretty good, not too bad but not great either. Solid state amps did not work very well. These speakers don’t have a lot of bottom end and their sound is very detailed and neutral but can get very bright and harsh. They seem to lack body. If I were you I would definitely audition these before you lay down any money for these. My guess is if you didn’t like the Parsifals, these won’t do it either. E-mail me if you would like to discuss this further.
