| driving Verity Audio Parsifal Ovations? Thank-you for all your suggestions.I have heard the Parsifal Ovations driven by the 20 wpc pure class A Luxman 550A integrated, and this sounded surprisingly wonderful. The 30 wpc big brother to that amp would be a better match (590Aii), and thoug... | |
| Luxman L505u . . . why not? Thank Jim! There is scant information in NA on the new Luxman cd players (D-05, D-06), but they look interesting.Regards,Mark | |
| CD players - Luxman vs. Esoteric? I am on the verge of buying a system from a dealer that carries some Luxman, but I do not have the opportunity to audition the Luxman cdp or compare it to an Esoteric, hence this thread. There is also scant information out there on the new Luxman ... | |
| CD players - Luxman vs. Esoteric? Or the Esoteric X-05? | |
| CD players - Luxman vs. Esoteric? Has anyone auditioned the new Luxman D-06 or D-05 cd players? | |
| Luxman L505u . . . why not? What do they say in Japan about the new Luxman cd players such as the D-06? Though they are available in North America there is very scant information about them, but I have a sense that they are well regarded in Japan and compare favourably to Es... | |
| Luxman L505u . . . why not? Choosing between the two top Luxman integrateds (590Aii and 509u) is not easy. They both cost about the same (10K), but one is 30 wpc pure class A (590Aii) and the the other 120 wpc class AB (509u).Though I have seen more positive comments about t... | |
| Verity Audio midrange drivers? I just checked the Verity Audio website - the Amadis is further UP the food chain than the Parsifal, and sits between the Parsifal and the Sarastro II. The Amadis therefore fills the $15K price gap between the $20K Parsifal and the $35K Sarastro I... | |
| Verity Audio midrange drivers? Thanks for your thoughtful responses.I have an additional reason for choosing Verity, and that is that I am Canadian and want to support the best of Canadian audio (where possible).The Verity Amadi sounds interesting - how much will it be? Is it r... | |
| Verity Audio midrange drivers? After much listening, research, thought and discussion, I am able to consider the Verity Audio Parsifal Ovation powered by a Luxman integrated amp (either the 590Aii or the 509u). After hearing the Parsfals I knew that anything else would seem (to... | |
| Pure Class A shootout Luxman makes several pure class A separates as well as integrated amps:http://www.onahighernote.com/luxman/Regards,Mark | |
| Verity Audio midrange drivers? I thought that the Finn was very good and more musically engaging and acurate than the more expensive B&W 803d that I had been contemplating.Comparing the Finn to the Parsifal is not really fair, because the Parsifal is truly stunning, and at ... | |
| Verity Audio midrange drivers? I have auditioned two Verity Audio speakers - the Finn and the Parsifal Ovation.The Parsifal blew me away - it is a wonderful speaker!The Rienzi is much closer to my budget, but I cannot audition it.Has anyone compared the Rienzi to the Parsifal?H... | |
| Verity Audio midrange drivers? They were most definitely the Parsifal Ovations, and the amp was 20 wpc pure class A (I was told that would be equivalent to about 150 wpc in a class AB amp). | |
| Integrated SS amps - Luxman vs. Simaudio Moon? L-550Aii (20 wpc), though the 30 wpc L-590Aii would be a better choice. |
