The Verity Audio Sarastro is designed to compete favorably with anything up to $ 30,000 and more. It is actually much closer to the $ 50,000 Lohengrin than the 15,000 Parsifal and , beleive it or not, a better value all things considered.
In my humble opinion, as good as the Parsifals are, the Sarastro are in a league all their own, bettering the Parsifals in most every parameter. Expect to see a few Parsifals for sale on Audiogon ( already started, from owners wishing to upgrade ). I beleive the best value in the Verity line are the Taminos. A tasted of the best for not a lot of money ( on the Verity scale that is! ).
