Verity Audio Parsifal

I have no experience wit these speakers other than reading an anedote in Stereophile. Audiogon has a model offered at an intriguing price. Will be using these speakers with some vintage gear (mid '80's stuff: CJ PV5 and threshold S300 which has about 150 watts per channel). Room is fairll large 18 x 15 x 7.5' high). As far as what I'm looking for in a pair of new speakers:
a.) Looking for a mid range that will make me sit-up and take notice (I listen to a lot of piano music on vinyl)
b.) High end extension with transients that are lightning fast
c.) Overall coherence (no seams)
d.) No beaminess (for lack of a better term)

I have owned the Verity Parsifal Encore speakers for almost 2 years now and although I have updated virtually every piece of equipment I own, the Parsifals remain a corner stone of my system. I listen primarily to jazz. The Parsifals are the most musical speakers I have auditioned. I am particularily impressed with the way they reproduce the exacting tonal qualities of piano. As indicated in the post by Jason, Keith Jarret had the Parsifals upgraded to the Encore version and uses them in his home reference system! My system includes the Lamm M1.1 Amplifier, Audio Research REf 2 Mk II preamp, dCS Elgar and Purcell DAC, CEC TL0 transport, Magnum Dynalab 108 tuner and Audio Power Industries Ultra Wedge 116, Kimber Select Orchid digital cabling, Cardas Golden Cross interconnects and speaker cables. I consider the Parsifals to be in balance with the rest of my equipment ....I wouldn't trade them for any other speaker.
