Verity Audio speakers

hello all, I have heard Verity speakers recently and I'm "eternaly" impressed with them - they do sound extreemly coherent, and produce very authentic engaging sound. Would like to build system around them.

I was wondering if anybody would be able to share the impressions over the older models: fidelio vs parsifal encore in particular and euquipment matching with these speakers. Is parsifal just bigger on bass or this is too much of a simplificaiton.
I heard only Finn with Mcintosh - this was nice, but many mention also ARC, Einstein, VAC also. What are your impressions in terms of equipment matching here?
For now I only have Arcam avr 600 and would like to take leap forward from there so any of the above would be major step forward I guess. I like the tube sound more than SS and would like to explore this avenue.
Also would like to get in touch with somebody who would be prepared to sell older Parsifal model. patryksec@gmail.com

Have been driven the latest Parsifal Encores with Pass X350.5. Agree with the comments above that they need power. I had some discussion with Julian at Verity and he had indicated that they are fairly easy to drive. I tried my other amp, Pass Aleph Os (40wpc) and it could not do the job. So back went the X350.5. I had been using a pair of Discovery jumpers from Verity and I think that contributed to the darkness indicated in the post above. I just switched over to a pair of Nordost Norse jumpers and it opened up the highs. All my interconnects and speaker cables are the Synergistic Research Reference X2 series. A recent change of tubes in my phonostage (ARC PH-3SE) and linestage (ARC LS-25 Mk I, GNSC Ref mod) from Amperex Bugle Boys 6DJ8s to orange & white label Amperex PQ 6922s also improve the highs as well.

One of the strengths of the pass amps is the ability to control the woofers well to produce a realistic bass.
