Upgrading from Kharma 3.2 to Verity Parsifal

Jaybo I do not doubt that but I guess there is always that small step upwards you want to climb.;)

My room now is quite small 30m2 but very very soon I'll move in a 60m2 room!

Thanks a lot for your responses!
Today I had the chance of listening to the Verity Sarastro!
A pretty amazing speaker!So I'm considering buying it!
What is your opinion on this speaker?
Some people say that it is not so good at playing rock music!I expect from a speaker in this price range to play all kinds of music!
Also is it really full range?Verity states that it goes down to 20Hz but some people mention 25Hz?
Thanks a lot!

Cenline,

I doubt I can try them at my home but what I can do for sure is take my amps to the dealer. Anyway Im ready to invest in this speaker, which means trading an amp for another. Maybe I'll also try the Nagra amps which are said to have great synergy with the Verity. With the 18 W Lamm monoblocks that I heard them they definitely did go low enough. I'll have a few more listening sessions before I decide. Kharma is an excellent speaker and probably does some this things better than the Sarastro but it is a little fatiguing in the higher frequencies.

Fmpnd,

Wow Sarastro must have really impressed you.

Martykl,

thanks for your answer!

jb8312,

Yes verity is an excellent speaker manufacturer. Im happy you consider them very emotional as these are my findings as well, together with an excellent tonality.

Thanks again everyone!

Ι just want to mention that in case I upgrade I'll go for the Sarastro which has a 93 db efficiency. The parsifal is not an option anymore as I heard that it has a 106 db maximum spl and its not full range. So since I want to upgrade I might as well get something that it really worths it!

Yesterday I auditioned the Sarastro for 3 hours. I dont have to mention that when I returned home I couldn't listen to the Kharmas. Thats all I can say!
I think I'm going for the Sarastros.
If anybody has or auditioned the Sarastro please share your findings!

I finally got the Sarastro!! What an amazing speaker!!! Totally different level than the Kharma!

Thanks everybody for your answers!

Thanks a lot my friends!
I'm really so excited about my new speakers!

Michael

Its been almost two months with the Verity Sarastro and all I can say is WOW. Everyday that I listen to this speakers is like hearing it for the first time. This shows how excited I am.
Basically this speaker does everything right. The most amazing part is that it is so musical without lacking transparency and definition. A trully magical combo. I have the Gryphon Diablo integrated amp which really drives the speakers to its limits together with an EMM LABS CDSA player.
The soundstage is huge and the whole presentation is so real that it is spooky. You can hear every bit of spatial information.
And of course they can play rock at ear bleeding levels.
Guys Im realy excited about my move and I would like to thank everyone for your answers, especially Cencline that was the first one to propose to me the Sarastro.

Michael

Thanks Sebastian.

What you said is so true. With the kharmas I was always looking at the woofers after a loud passage afraid that they would be damaged.

Michael.

Dpang233 thanks for your info, Ill try to give them a listen. But with a little more money I can get one more set of virtual dynamics revelation 2 cable set and run the Sarastros with true bi-wire. I suppose that would be better wouldnt it?

Hey Teddy bear!

Right now I'm using the Virtual Dynamics Revelation 2 as singlee wire and they are already two completely discrete cables. I'm planning to get one more so I have four discrete cables going to each speakers.
