So, I saw a great deal on a Verity Audio Leonore and bought it. Must remind myself hifi is not chocolate, there is no impulse purchase here.
They have been my favorite box speakers for a while and thought I would give boxes a try before moving ahead. If they turn out good in two channel, expand to Multi, else sell them off and go back to panels, before I go to that JBL horn from Berlin after 10 years.
They are 93 db efficient, have panel like flowing midrange. I have heard them sound excellent with Passlabs class A amp, X100.5, but will be trying them with all Jadis, all Nagra, and then NAT audio gear. If any of these sound like, awesome, add subs and room correction, else sell off. If these don't work then bye bye to boxes unless I quit audiophilia and go to Linn Akubarik Exakt.
Still have to reach me. Will keep you posted.
For those who don't know these speakers, I find them much better and different from the older Parsifal Ovations, which I found boring. I also find them better than the 40kpound Sarastro II, though I heard these with Soolution. I heard the Leonores at a show, and then in a living room, and they sounded the same in both places, with the Pass. They are the most room friendly boxes I know, and are known not to boom
