Pass....Accuphase....or......

Verity Audio are speakers for life!

I have owned Verity Audio Parsifal Ovation speakers since 2010 driven mostly by a Luxman L-509u integrated amp and more recently by a class A Luxman L-595A SE integrated amp which sounded lovely as did an Accuphase E-380 120W class A/B integrated amp.

Last year I had a chance to acquire a pair of Verity Audio Arindal speakers - one size up from the Parsifal but a little more sensitive at 93 dB (vs 89 dB for the Parsifal). I drove them for a short time with the L-595A which I replaced with an Accuphase A-48 amp and C-2900 preamp. What a wonderful combination! The Luxman L-595A was my introduction to class A amps, but the A-48 took everything to the next level.

Accuphase class A amps are legendary - from their integrated amps like the E-650, E-800 to separates such as the A-48, A-80 or A-300.

I would highly recommend pairing Verity Audio speakers with Accuphase or Luxman amps - but especially Accuphase.

Accuphase is an interesting company which produces high quality components in small batches by hand to very high standards.  They have limited their size and production volumes to 5,000 units and only have about 85 employees - 26 of whom are engineers.  They are primarily focused on the Japanese market and only about 30% of their units are destined for export.

According to the Management and Corporate Policy posted on the Accuphase website, they limit production to 5,000 units per year and are not looking to expand:

"One of the corporate principles that Accuphase has observed since its
beginning is the conscious decision not to pursue expansion. In a free economy,
most companies try to grow. However, demand is not unlimited. If we were to
chase the numbers, trying to sell more and more products and compete only on
price, we would lose our ability to create truly high-end audio components.
We therefore are not increasing our staff numbers (currently about 80, similar
to the time of the company's founding), in keeping with the principle of "small
numbers ‒ exceptional talent". Rather than trying to expand the scale of the
company, we believe in quality over quantity. We adhere to a low-volume
production schedule, building and marketing only about 5,000 units per year. But
with regard to the products that we are making, we passionately care about their
sound, their performance, their quality, and their design. We do not ship a
product unless it fully meets our exacting standards. This gives it lasting value
and ensures the excellent reputation of the Accuphase brand."

@southofdallas I think @lanx0003 described Accuphase class A sound really well.  I would add that Class A Accuphase amps have a wonderfully liquid midrange that pairs so well with Verity Audio's midrange excellence. 

If I were to make a wild guess, I think he just might live 'South of Dallas Texas".
