Very sad news indeed. Perhaps one issue is the Parsifal never really was updated.Very sad news. I always liked Verity Audio loudspeakers. At several stages in my audio life I had the VA Parsifal, it always gave me lots of aural pleasure.
Au contraire, the Parsifal was updated several times, last as a 25th Anniv Edition. With Julien's tutelage last year I brought my Encores near that level by substituting the original 3/4" granite isolator with a 1" aluminum slab, replaced the old feet with 1/5" butcherblock (his idea), with IsoAcoustics Iso puck 76 stabilizers and 1/4" sorbo slabs between all upper surfaces. Raising the Parsifal up to 42.5" improved sit-down/stand-up transition, as well smoothing the room sound further. The icing was replacing the old copper jumpers with my ArgentPur solid silver ones.Very sad news indeed. Perhaps one issue is the Parsifal never really was updated.
Very sad indeed. Verity Audio is (was) a small Canadian company in Quebec City with only 5 to 8 employees over time in addition to the two principals - Julien Pelchat and Bruno Bouchard. Their speakers are musically engaging, detailed and non-fatiguing. They launched with the Parsifal 30 years ago and that speaker alone went through 5 iterations.
I bought a pair of Verity Audio Parsifal Ovations in 2010, and it was always my dream to eventually go up the food chain in their line. When I heard rumours earlier this year about ceasing operations, I looked for a pair of Verity Audio Arindal (the successor to the Amadis S). I took delivery of the Arindal last month and am enjoying them immensely. Only about 70 pairs were made since the Arindal was launched in 2022.
