Proac K6 Signature, Sonus Faber Amati Tradition,Verity Audio Amadis, Kharma DB-9

People collect vintage cars, camera equipment, and audio gear from companies that are no longer in business - yet those items are prized and sought after.

Verity was a small company with 5 to 8 employees in addition to the owner and CEO.  They made high quality speakers that were built to last and were aimed at music lovers.  They were not a high volume producer but more of an artisanal workshop.  Their two founders, - Julien and Bruno - are very knowledgeable and passionate about music reproduction.  Anyone who has spent time with them will tell you that they are true gentlemen.  They were very dedicated to making high quality speakers and left us with a tremendous legacy.  That they closed is sad and a loss to the audio world, but it does not diminish the value of what they have achieved and created.  Those of us who own and appreciate their speakers know that we have something special.  

Musicians such as Keith Jarrett,  Norah Jones and David Chesky have owned Verity speakers.  Chesky Records has used Verity Parsifal's as their reference speakers for many years.  

I will enjoy my Verity Audio Parsifal and Arindal speakers for many years to come.  Let the music play!

I didn't know that information about the company, thanks. I also agree with your comments about their value despite the company having closed.

That they closed is sad and a loss to the audio world, but it does not diminish the value of what they have achieved and created.

Speakers can generally go on for a couple of decade before needing to re-foaming or other issues, provided you take good care of them. I am not worried about my ProAcs, even if Mr. Tyler is not around. Just because the company is not around, does not mean the speakers will become lazy and stop making the good music that the owner has come to love.

But, we are not in OP's shoes. So good luck to OP in whatever he chooses to do.

I somewhat agree with Toronto416. I've also heard that the speakers are relatively indestructible (blowing) as far as the drivers are concerned.

My concern would be if someone put a broomstick or something through a driver. Who will fix it? Are there parts available out there?

Nora Jones will just have her property manager deliver something else.

……does Thiel ring a bell with anyone here ?
