It only takes a couple of shady dealers in the network selling at 20-40 percent off the retail price. It's the dark secret that happens all the time. It's not popularized but it only takes a couple of dealers that move lots of product at a great d... 
So sub or not to sub
I have a pair of Verity Parsifal Encores and a Rel Stadium III sub. I've had this system for a couple of years and haven't changed anything. I do on occasion turn off the sub, and sometimes will only play the monitors and let the lower cabinets re... 
Where are the female Audiophiles?
I don't think so. 
Where are the female Audiophiles?
I can come home from work and my wife might be dancing to music that hurts my ears via the recording. I agree with a few comments that it's 90% the lyrical or emotional content and 10 percent the gear. So is there consensus that there is less chan... 
Totem Element Metal vs B&W 803d?
What is your budget? None of those speakers don't sound good to me either. They are well built and awesome but you are looking for more. 
Upgrade from Verity Parsifal to Parsifal Encore??
Good information Davt. I misunderstood. I haven't heard the Amadis yet but look forward to listening soon. 
Upgrade from Verity Parsifal to Parsifal Encore??
Davt I was told I had the third generation Parsifal, however it is not the Ovation. Did you miss a change or did I misunderstand what Verity told me? As far as the Leonore comment above, I've listened to them with two different sets of electronics... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Mapman do you own OHM? If not you should. You'd at least be their most passionate sales person. Don't mean to offend, just speaking the truth. 
Upgrade from Verity Parsifal to Parsifal Encore??
I drive the Parsifal with a low powered SS class A amp and they sound great. Better than the high powered audio research tubes I've had in my room. I suggest you listen to several options with your own ears, and as always, get out and listen to as... 
Upgrade from Verity Parsifal to Parsifal Encore??
Fjn04, I didn't state that clearly. I think Rockport is a strong but expensive player in audio. If I were ever fortunate enough to spend real money on a speaker it would probably be on a Rockport. How is the soundstage of the 0/96 compared to the ... 
Upgrade from Verity Parsifal to Parsifal Encore??
I have the latest generation Parsifal Encores and have no desire to look for another speaker. I'm familiar with and have done some work for a Verity, Wilson, Magico, and Devore dealer. They are amazing speakers but Verity is the best for the value... 
Tone Controls can be so nice.
I have a Luxman class A integrated with tone controls and a bypass button. I don't mess with the tone controls. I also use a Rel Stadium 3 sub. I do on occasion only use the top section of my Parsifals. This helped me understand how bass and room ... 
How does relative humidity affect our music?
How is the furnace vented? In other words intake and outtake, or is there just outtake? I find this subject interesting because sound passes through air and air changes, or the room changes with humidity in it. Humidity even changes structures, li... 
How does relative humidity affect our music?
To back up slightly I agree with Zenblaster that moisture without ventilation can cause mold. My point was that air leaks where condensation occurs is a major cause of mold. Also improper insulation so the dew point occurs in the building is a maj...

I own a Venmar. I think it's a great unit.http://www.venmar-usa.com/85-air-exchangers-duo-2-0-erv-new.html
