| Verity Audio midrange drivers? I had a chance to audition the Verity Audio Parsifal Ovation yesterday, driven by a 20 wpc pure class A Luxman integrated amp. OMG!!!! Not only are they not difficult to drive, they are incredibly musical and wonderful sounding speakers that conne... | |
| Top Luxman integrated - 509u or 590Aii? "These posts" do help when you have to consider components sight unseen. "Pulling the trigger" would otherwise be a shot in the dark.Thanks to all for shedding some light on my confusion.Regards,Mark | |
| Luxman L505u . . . why not? The 509u is rated at 120 wpc into 8 Ohms, doubling to 240 wpc into 4 Ohms. It is Luxman's most robust class AB integrated amplifier.The 507u is rated a little less at 110 wpc into 8 Ohms, and it does not quite double (to 200 wpc) into 4 Ohms.The 5... | |
| Top Luxman integrated - 509u or 590Aii? Thank-you.I am considering one of these integrated amps with a very high quality cdp and speakers (Verity Audio) that are relatively easy to drive. The real question should be - is there much of a real world difference sonically between the 509u a... | |

| Integrated SS amps - Luxman vs. Simaudio Moon? Thanks Jeff.I have listened to a lot of systems in many audio dealers, and it has been an interesting and educational journey.I have discovered several good brands that I had not previously heard (Verity Audio, Gershman, Simaudio, Pass, Luxman, Es... | |
| Integrated SS amps - Luxman vs. Simaudio Moon? Thanks,Mark | |
| Verity Audio midrange drivers? All I am trying to point out is that a small company with a small advertising budget has received a huge amount of exposure in an audio magazine in another country, and that makes a strong statement about its products.I fully agree that the great ... | |
| Verity Audio midrange drivers? In the December 2009 issue of Stereophile not only do they review the Verity Audio Leonore, they also short listed the Verity Audio Parsifal Ovation and the Verity Audio Sarastro II for 2009 Product of the Year.In the October 2009 issue they inclu... | |
| Integrated SS amps - Luxman vs. Simaudio Moon? I have spoken to the local Verity Audio dealer and corresponded with Verity Audio, and they have assured me that the Finn, Rienzi, and Leonore would all be appropriate for my room size. The designer of the Rienzi has assured me that it is a good m... | |

| Integrated SS amps - Luxman vs. Simaudio Moon? Thanks, that is where I heard the Finns with the Luxman 550Aii.This audition got me thinking about the Rienzi with a 590Aii, which I cannot audition in Toronto, but should be a good match.Regards,Mark | |
