Verity Parsifal Encore or Wilson Benesch Act 2 or?


I'm looking at upgrading from B&W N804's and I have my eye on these two (used) options: Verity Parsifal Encore and Wilson Benesch Act 2. Any suggestions? Should I consider any other options in this price range ($7000 - $8000 used)? Will I have any trouble driving either of these two speakers?

My equipment: Linn LP12/Ekos/Linto/Benz Micro G2; Linn Ikemi CDP; Plinius 8200 Intigrated (175 W/C/8ohms).

I have the Verity Parsifal Encore for 1 year.
These speakers are very well balance with a lot of detail and the bass will go very low and deep in the medium room.

The midrange is perfect,very smooth,focus,and have bloooom and i couldn't imagine that Wilson Benesch ACT 2 (even though i never heard them) or other speakers can be competitor of Parsifal.

175W is more than enough to drive them. I only use 80W tube amp.

I can listen for 3 hours and still enjoy without ever getting tired.

If you can find them under $8,000 for used one,don't wait !

Sorry,i know nothing about the ACT 2,but i read some good review about them.
