Has anyone listened to or auditioned Verity's new Arindale speaker ?


Hello Audiogon members - I hope all is well and just wondering if any of you have listened to this speaker. This replaced the Amadis S in their speaker line and would welcome any comments on who has actually listened to this speaker. Thank you in advance.

....thanks SOIX and regret that members feel a need to answer posts such I have  here and do NOT answer the one and only question that I had asked. However, but I expect that now and expensive relative to what ???....did you take a look at Magico's pricing lately ? I am not a fan of the Magico sound nor speakers that are made of concrete, aluminum etc. I digress and now I am off my own path and not true on the construction of the Verity WOOD enclosures. 

Thank you wrm57 as I am looking into them as well or the models below as I have  listened  to the Amadis S and with a 60 watt Class A  Accuphase amp the A-75 it would seem on paper to be a good match. They were one of the more musical speakers I have heard.        .  

.....thank you lalitk but after researching and listening to many speaker brands I really like Verity for what then can offer me.   

So after all of the above; it would appear to safe to say that nobody who has for their personal reasons answered my thread, have listened to the Arindale's ? Thank you all .....

 

........yes @grislybutter  I did. You have been on this site for what ; a little over a year and I have been year almost 23 years. There was a time that members did try and '' stay on topic '' as you wrote and not try and convince me to buy Magico speakers as they are the best and that Verity is ''over priced '' or try and sell me ; Horning Speakers ( ? ) I asked one simple question and it seems anymore and the usual Locust Threads come out here and answer any new thread with their views which were not even asked for try and or try and sell you something that you never even asked or cared about. That's what Face Book and Twitter are for......it's gets old after a while. Thank you just the same and enjoy the music.

Ohhh I also find it amusing that the Typical Locust never really follow up on these posts as they have moved on to another one or watch You Tube and tell you that they have listened to a $1,000,000 system ......funny .       

Thank you jpwarren58 for your response and I see your point but if you have not heard them why answer ? Some have gone on to explain what they currently have in their systems and how much. My question was very simple and to the point. I am also not sure what you mean by ; '' do not have audiophilia as their reason for buying ''....... that may pertain to you but not all others. So staying on topic can be rewarding.      

I ended up purchasing the Verity Audio Aridale's in walnut from Paul Manos at High Fidelity Services and should have them shortly. Thank you all for your help and for  those who stayed on topic. I will follow up on my post in the future on how they sound in my home and with my equipment. Stay safe and well and let's have a memorable 2023 and pray for peace to happen.    

.....just a follow up on my post since I took possession of the Aridale's on 01/12/23. This speaker takes about 600 hours for full break in and I only have about 120 hours on them now. They are finally starting to open up a little bit and I am beginning to  '' hear '' the musical potential of these speakers. I sold my Sonus Faber Amati Homage speakers which I really enjoyed to buy these. The SFAH's just swept me away at times and these are starting to do just that but with a little more transparency into the music which was what I was looking for. I have had a few audiophiles tell me to just leave them on and play music to burn them in but just playing music and logging the hours down has given me the experience and pleasure of just hearing their sonic character change. They are a really good speaker to audition in this price range and the fact that they come in 4 pieces was a deal breaker for me as I do not care to '' lug '' around 200+ pound speakers anymore. Stay well all and enjoy the music........also Paul Manos was great to work with.                  

…..Tesla like Verity are worthless on the open market . However , Tesla is still making cars for now and Verity is gone.
