Verity Audio

The Tamino is a bit of a speaker searching for itself in the Verity line. Although it does share the same exquisite attention to details, it never really took off as much as their award-winning Parsifal and Fidelio.

Part of this can be explained by the X2 and X3 versions (was there an x1 ?) that have different bass properties. In some rooms, these are bass-heavy in other set-ups, one of these can be just perfect.

IF I were you I would phone the nice folks at Verity (Julian or Bruno) and ask them - not if there speakers are great, they are- but what are the specific caracteristics and the ,'whys'' for these different Tamino versions, as they do differ.

I am a past owner of Verity speakers, and I can attest to their greatness, although I feel the Tamino may be a bit pricey here.

Hope this helps !

I bought a used pair of Tamino 3 years ago.
I think they are really overpriced, you can get much better performances with cheaper speakers.
A Hyperion 938 for exemple is way better and you can buy 2 pairs for the price of 1 Tamino.

It's also very hard to find the good amp for those speakers...

To my ears, the best speakers out there.

Wow thanks for the great comments everyone! I do agree they are little pricey and will definitely have to audition them. I will let you all know the results.

One caveat: never look at how they measure. Oh, you never do that anyway, well good for you then you should audition the Reference 3A De Capo i also.
