Verity Audio Lohengrin II - Impressions.


The Los Angeles/Orange County Audio Society hosted an event recently in which a friend of mine, and distributor of Verity Audio and Nagra product, John Quik, (along with the VP of Verity Audio, Julian Pelcant (sp??).) was invited to "show-off" this recently updated monstrous speaker: The Lohengrin II.

Standing a few inched short of six feet; the speakers were amazing on all levels, even considering the hotel meeting room surroundings.

As an owner of the Parsifal Ovations I am a little bias towards the product, but not since the SF Amati Homages were introduced in or about ‘98 had I been so blown away by a speaker...

All electronic were Nagra, save for an Artimis Labs Turntable, and the visceral attack was rib cage rattling and just plain FUN.

It was simply "one of those events" that will remain imbedded in the audiophile ROM of my brain.

Has any one else heard these speakers? Impressions? Ever had a similar experience as in being so blown away by an audio product that it takes you breath away??

Comments welcome and encouraged!

If *it* doesnt really dissapear it is likely room acoustics.
placement of diffusors and base trapps is mandatory to get any speaker into doing the dissapearing act.
wishfull thinking to expect that the Lohengrin II does it all without proper room treatment.
love 'm.

cheers
