I heard the combo (if not the same, very similar) at the LA Stereophile show (2 years ago?) while I was searching for a replacement for my long time reference, Thiel 3.6. The combo was awesome. Because of the demo, I put Parsifal on my short list to audition, and ultimately bought a pair of Encore.
I've tried to look up Verity speakers at every show I attened after that. But their showing at the RMAF last year was disappointing. The Lohengrin was driven by all Artemis components. The amps were not very powerful, and the room was way too big, the neighbor was too loud. You could not hear anything, and the room was empty every time I walked by the room.
When I tried to audition a pair of Parsifal Ovation, I could not find a dealer anywhere on the west coast that has anything other than Rienzi in stock. I ended up flying out to Colorado to audition when I found a used pair of Encores at a dealer, and bought it.
Verity really should pay more attention at these shows and get their dealer network in order.
