Verity speakers for $7k or less?


After some good suggestions for musical non-fatiguing speakers in thread so named - I'm focusing in on the Verity line. There isn't anything I've auditioned in that price range that've bowled me over. And if there were some good sounding speakers I ultimately found them too aggressive or fatiguing. Dynaudio Confidence 2s comes to mind tho they were otherwise impressive.

Other threads have said that you had to start midline and up with the veritys to get something satisfying for the long term. What would that speaker be? And can it be had for $7k or less? Thanks!

I've had my Parsifal Encores for about 7 years now. Some history about the Parsifal Encores. They were introduced in 1998-99. A new version of Scanspeak tweeters were installed from 2002 and onward. They retrofitted the tweeters on some older Encores for a period of time. In 2005, the Prasifal Ovation was introduced with different tweeters, different crossover and larger woofer cabinets.

You shouldn't have any issue finding them around $7k.

If you buy used Parsifal Encores, worth checking out when they left the factory to see whether they have the first generation tweeters or the second as they do sound quite different.

I would definitely not pair them with Cary equipment or any other that tends to sound warm and dark.
