Help me chose: Verity - PBN Montana - Gemme Audio

Greetings

I am looking a pair of used speakers and the following are available near me:
___________________________________
Reference 3A Grand Veena - $6899
Gemme Audio Katana - $6054
VERITY AUDIO Fidelio - $4224
PBN MONTANA EPX - $5491

I do not have anything today :/ I miss listning to music through some "real" speakers. What I do have however is a source. I will use Modwright Transporter to play FLAC/Wav.

I would consider myself a musiclover foremost and audiophile second. What I mean is that I am not looking for a super detalied sound that will make bad recordings sound shit. I hate thin sound and treble that gives you headache. Detailed and organic is what I am looking for, I think. I want to be emotional engaged in the music.

I would rather give up some detail for speakers that breath life.

Bad recordings can not be fixed, that I know.

Sorry for my bad english, I am Swedish ;)

Thanks.

.Sebastian.

Based on their Ads alone, I too would put PBN last. The Verity or Sonus Faber would probably meet your stated preferences.

I agrre with 4musica44107. Go with the Verity's. I had them and was very happy. I now own Verity Parsifal Ovations.

Hi Bvdiman,

Interesting response, what in particular do you mean with "Based on their ads alone" - you of course are entitled to your own opinion but we have got a tremendous response from the ad campaign running in Stereophile, overwhelmingly positive. They are meant for you to actually stop and read the ad, not just glance on a pretty picture and read a corny caption like 99% of ads.

Hi Peter,

I guess different ads work for different folks, just happen that the Pbn ones doesn't do it for me. It may have succeeded as a stopper, but sorry to say that compared to the Wilson, Magico, Avagarde, YG ones, the Pbn's came across (projected itself--image wise) as the home industrial type against 'them' being the more established manufacturers. Visually, imo, the artwork and photography needs re-working, also possibly the body copy condensed to it's essence. My apology to have put it rather blatantly.
