Verity

Dpang233,

I am using 3 BDR Mk 4 cones under each speaker. They won't fit into the screw-rod. So, they are just sitting under neath the speakers. I just went to the hardware store and bought these metal screw covers for the screw-rods, so they won't damage the hardwood floor when I change footers.

I had used them when I first got the speakers over a year ago. Few months ago, I thought I would try the stock feet. The stock feet turned out to be not as focused and bass was not as tight. I listend to them for a few weeks, then switch back to the BDR Mk 4, and was amazed.

I have not tried anything else. I had these sitting around, so I tried them, and they are fairly inexpensive. If you don't like them, you can always sell them fairly fast.

Having the separate-units placed, I worry a little the safety if the cones are just placed underneath, espically only 3 pcs , but with 4, one must use screwing post to adj.

I have been using the Brass foot supplied by Verity, to protect the floor from their fine Pointed tips, I had tried
with Woods like ebony & padouk 3-4 inches squares, but later I used "Linn" skeet(s), the sound was O.K., and the
holes of those skeet are best fit for those pointed tips
that they can sit so firmly and tightly so that moving slightly the speakers need no extra effort.

I may try the BDR cones, if I check there is screw-post both fitting the woofers of Parsifal and the cones.

thanks for your input.

Hi, all of you
Please accept my poor english as well as my typing skill

not to post, is better !!!!!!!!!

Try a solid state amp. The Veritys are already very musical so I think you can bare with solid state. I'm 100% sure your speaker is under-driven.
Have you ever tried one?
I own the Sarastros which are 93 db and I thoungt I was driving them very good with the Mcintosh MC-2102 and C-2200 (100W) until I used solid state, which took the performance to a whole new level.
A subwoofer would be my last choice. In my experiency they cause more problems than they solve.
Also your source and cables are very important. Try some Virtual Dynamics cables if you can.
IMHO.

Michael,

Thanks. Yes, I had a solid state amp before this Shindo. Again, my Shindos are the 80wpc version, so plenty of power to drive the speaker. In all honesty, the first thing I noticed (perhaps b/c I didn't expect to) was how much tighter and more natural the bass was with the Shindo after I switched. Go figure.

I think many mis-read my post. I'm tweaking, not complaining about bass. I think I have world class sources, and use siltech and Stealth cables. It's all there and sounds wonderful, works very well together and took me 7yrs to assemble. Absolutely am not looking to change my equipment as I know it works super well, just was curious about the application of subs. I get the feeling most think it's a bad idea, but I may try it out just for fun.

You have great speakers and setup!

Cheers
