Verity Audio speaker manufacturer silent...

Sad - a highly respected Canadian manufacturer of excellent speakers seems to have gone silent.

I have been enjoying my Verity Audio Parsifal Ovations since 2010, and I dreamed of one day going up the Verity Audio food chain to an even better speaker. Sadly that will not be possible.

The VA Parsifal Ovation is an outstanding speaker.  I remember reading 15 years ago that pianist Keith Jarrett owned a pair of VA Parsifals, and that impressed me then as I thought they were very musical speakers and I imagine he did too!

I owned one of their first parsifals over 25 years ago ,very good sounding and 

was solid with most any types of amps . I agree they have not advertised or regulars in the magazines for at least 15 years or more ,which is a major mistake in Audio .it’s too bad , just like Kharma Loudspeakers they were very popular back in the 90s a excellent speaker I owned and is still around mainly in Europe .

Meadowlark totally baffled me ,they made a nice speaker beautiful hard woods 

and all good scan speak drivers and had a pretty decent following.

I was speaking to buy a pair then next thing you know he went out of business .

there was much more to that story which was sad to hear .

Never liked seeing a long running business go down.  I ran my family business which started in 1913 until retirement in 2019.  Passed it on to the next generation successfully on hope it works out for them.  By the way, my first speakers were from STR, 1975.  Anybody remember them or have any history?

Keep voting for Trudeau and this country will be completely destroyed.

…….so hiltoy this is Trudeau’s fault. Just couldn’t help yourself as we have people here who blame one person for everything that is happening. Just amazing at the short sidedness . I visited Verity Audio last July and my wife and I had a wonderful time at Verity followed by lunch with Julien the CEO of Verity . Their new line of speakers are amazing as I bought a pair of their new Arindals in glossed walnut . Simply beautiful to look at the music is simply engaging and without peer in my opinion. The posters here have hit what I think the central issue was ……no marketing and the only speaker that has been mentioned here  is their Parsifal. That speaker put them on the map but they also made many other models that we as great as the Parsifals and some even better. I looked for a long time for my new speakers and fell in love with the Arindals . But the marketing was non-existent and there was little to no press or advertising. It was a kiss of death in this hobby. I am not happy personally over their closing and as noted it is not good overall for our hobby. One thing that is for sure is that Verity Audio’s speakers are very well built with very good products inside and will last me for years . I wish Julien the best Ali with Bruno as they are truly exceptional people and made some really beautiful sounding speakers . One could only hope that a private equity firm invested in Verity to keep it going but the brains and individuals who loved making music will probably not be there .
