Verity Audio speaker manufacturer silent...

I wonder if branching out into high end DAC's, amps and preamps contributed to their demise.  I remember reading Stereophile reviews when they came out with electronics... they weren't well received if I recall correctly... I'm pretty sure John Atkinson's measurements exposed some warts.  Maybe they should have stuck with speakers.

I received a very nice email reply from Bruno Bouchard confirming that Verity Audio ceased operations in December, 2023 as mentioned above by @toronto416 .

Too bad...  Verity Audio had very respectable speakers.  I had a pair of Parsifal Ovations and they were indeed a very nice sounding speaker system.  I had them for several years until I heard a pair of Living-Voice OBX-RW's which sounded more realistic to me albeit leaner on the bass.  I loved the build quality of the Ovations and those beautiful transportation cases they were shipped in.  I would have liked to have heard the Lohngren II's although they were a bit above my price range.  

This is sad news indeed. I wouldn’t have know if not for this thread

Life is tough for small businesses in audio -- in fact, for small businesses in any industry.  You can have a great product and still not make it -- remember the story of VHS video tapes versus Sony's Betamax?  Betamax had superior picture quality but ended up being the loser when the public went all-in on VHS.  And Sony was hardly a small business, Imagine how hard things can be for a small company that doesn't have the deep pockets of a major corporation.

The good news for Verity owners is that they can continue to enjoy their speakers whether the company's around or not.
