verity audio parsifal

I have not changed them but I did audition the ovation (with the aluminum platform)comparing it to my latest edition encores and could not tell a difference blinded. Now, set up was a little different but they sounded very similar. That being said, my Encores are nearing the 10 year mark, on thier 10th birthday I am going to send them to Verity for an overhaul, check all the innards and drivers, replace the grills with the new ones and go to the new aluminum platform. I plan on keeping the speakers at least another 10 years so for me it is worth it.

Bjesien, sorry for my long delay in reply, the thread was lost to me for awhile. I drive my Verity Parsifals with Herron Audio M1A amps which sit of Stillpoint Mini SS installed. I use a Herron VTSP-3 r2 pre-amp and the VTPH-2 phono stage. All cables are Audience AU24se RCA and Powerchord SE with Audience Adept AR6. I use an Esoteric UX-3 CD player and a Highly modified Nottingham Spacedeck and Benz Gullwing SLR cartridge. I have auditioned other electronics with my Parsifals including Vitus integrated RI100, ARC Ref3/Ref110, VTL 5.5 II and 150 stereo amp. Nothing beat the Herron with Audience cables though the Vitus came close. I sit and listen to my stereo and smile, nothing to upgrade now.
