Verity Audio Parsifal vs. Aerial 10T


I've been hunting for speakers for a few months, now. Houston, TX is a wasteland for high-end audio of any kind so auditions can't usually be had. I was considering Aerial 10Ts from the very good posts on them but have reconsidered because of the fact they are getting a bit long-in-the-tooth in terms of manufacture date and looks.

My search brings up Verity Parsifals as a clear competitor to the Aerial 10T. Can anyone offer information as to how these two compare and differ?

I currently have a pair of Totem Mani-2s run by SimAudio W-6 monoblocks that I love. Sound may be 'slightly' more forward and not enough bass for me. Mostly listen to acoustic, pop ballad, and would like to get into more classical piano.

I know I should listen for myself but it will be interesting to here comments from others.

Thanks, in advance.

There's an authorized Aerial Acoustics dealer in Conroe:

Jobe Systems
2112 West Davis Street
Conroe, TX 77304
tel: 936.441.1112
web: www.jobesystems.com

If you can, I think you should also check out the Mirage OMD-28 and the Acoustic Zen Adagio or Crescendo depending on your budget. I think the nearest Acoustic Zen dealer is Audio Zeal in Austin. The Mirage website lists Magnolia Home Theater as a Mirage dealer, but I don't know if that's still current. Still, it would be worth calling them (lots of Houston locations) to see if any have a pair of OMD-28s or at least OMD-15s.
