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

it is not so sensitive to room placement

Doesn't Verity recommend that their speakers be placed 1/3 the length of the room off the front walls? I'd call that hard to place: eg: 7 ft. from the front wall in a 20 ft room.

This has always out me off Verity, which look like a great line; I'd be pleased to be corrected.

Seems like the 1/3 rule depends a lot on design:

Eggleston and Montana, I believe, say to start tuning placement 18" out. Audionote loadsw in corners, and the bass in Northcreek's near wall designs optimizes at 9" or less.

Interesting, Brf. I'm betting 1/12 is a good starting point in my room, for speakers that are not obviously disqualified from near wall, like OBs
