Verity Audio speaker manufacturer silent...


Verity Audio, the venerable Canadian speaker manufacturer in Quebec City that launched with the venerable Parsifal speaker in the 1990's seems to have gone silent.  Their website is up but their main phone number is out of service, and their CEO's LinkedIn profile shows he is looking for work.

Does anyone one know what has happened at Verity Audio?  When did this happen and why?  Are they restructuring or have they ceased operations?

IMO 3 factors caused the demise of Verity Audio.

1-Cost 2-Lack of Advertising 3-Audiophiles

1-When the entry level point is around $10k(Finn) for a small floorstander that can easily get lost in the shuffle when compared to competitors or even its larger superior siblings. Build an extreme level standmount that exceeds the perceived leader(Focal Diablo Evo) at a lower cost. This would showcase the best of Verity Audio in compact/concise and more attractive package than the Finn.

2-Many Audiophiles need visual or printed validation, word of mouth is outdated. Succumb to the YouTube circus of clowns.

3-Audiophiles are listening to less acoustical based music so the need for a "Finesse" type of speaker has diminished. Many want a speaker that is a Jack of all trades master of none. Eilish/JurassicPark/EDM over Ella/Beethoven/EWF, the more subwoofers the better!
