Verity Audio Otello Speakers

Mike, have you tried the Verity speakers with all your different electronics? I'd love to hear your thoughts on which ones match the best.

Not all, but most. VAC is superb. The little 170i. Luxman is also great. The Gryphon 120 was probably my fave solid state (haven’t tried the Diablo 300 yet nor the T+A).

The new and very reasonable Ayre EX-8 has really impressed me over here with the new Otellos recently.

Thanks guys! When we do get back to the states some day I plan on going with a nice solid state integrated. I love the Gryphon sound and it's nice to hear it's a good match. The T+A is also I'm sure.

Matt - come on down for a listen. We can try a variety of amps!

Trust me, if we're ever in Florida even for vacation I want to stop by your store. One of the best in the world from what I've seen. I was bummed that the high end store in Dubai has closed. We were there last week and wanted to go there but found out they closed a couple years back.

Thanks Chris, Joe and Buddy. The Verity's easy load presents some nice options. I really feel excited about my speaker options (and I'm done with speakers):

In the store:
Magico - best SOTA modern box speakers. Best speaker under $10K.
Harbeth - best BBC monitor/stand mount speaker
Verity - efficient floor standers which fill a ~$10k (Finn, Otello) to ~$25k+ (Parsifal Anniversary) gap in my offerings.
Gryphon - system play with Gryphon electronics

Out of the box:
Avantgarde - best horn speakers, high efficiency, dynamic champs
?????? coming soon - crazy, wild, fun speaker I've always loved....stay tuned....

P.S. yes, I'm constantly thinking of this stuff! :)

Plenty ported speakers turning up lately Mike ... :)
 
Where are the jumpers located between the monitor and woofer cabinet. On my Reinze's you could have the woofers front or rear facing. The Verity plate is removable. Can you do this with the Otello's and Parsifal's?
 
It doesn’t appear to be a substantial speaker until you see the back photo. Listened to the Otello at Axpona and was mightily impressed. Huge lifelike soundstage, they transport you to the recorded venue.

Great speaker company. Remember auditioning the Parsifal Ovations and they were top notch. Also Verity mates well with tube amps because they typically have linear impedance curve and generally present a benign load to the partnering amp.

Good stuff [emoji106]

Agree VAC is superb, should work well with Verity .....
 
We (as importers of Verity in Scandinavia) are naturally big supporters of Verity in general and the new Lakmé specifically being a genuine breath of fresh air. This speaker points out a new direction for the brand aiming towards both former followers as well as a new generation that wants a modern look in a reasonably sized package with a lot of flexibility when it comes to placement and positioning.

Please don't hesitate to ask if you have any specific questions.

I enjoyed the speakers while I had them. I made some sales, but they left my client hanging for nearly 6 months and really jerked him around and never delivered. After that, I determined they or their distributor (take your pick) wasn’t serious and moved on. As for the customer, he ended up with Avantgarde Duo XD’s. He’s very happy now.

That's too bad Mike. I do know that Verity had challenges to deliver the new and most popular models. Avantgarde is something very different though (needless to say).
