The parsifal encores were my first choice to replace a pair of Loudspeakers that I have been listening since 1983, but alas they were a little too much $.
I am enjoying my new (used) purchase (Hales), but I still look at wistful eyes at the encores. Of further note that I have seen the encores listed in Audiogonas little as $6500 which in my view if a fantastic price (no, I'm not trying to do a shameless plug for Audiogon!).
Soneone even ranked the purity of the midrange as better than the pipedreams. Goodluck.
