Verity Audio Rienzi

I owned Parsifal Encores, and spoke extensively with a dealer who had Parsifal, Rienzi, and Fidelio Encore. I was told the Fidelio and Parsifal are a big step up in refinement. Not trying to spend your money, but if a Fidelio's come up for the right price, you may want to consider it…. I don't think you will go wrong either way though. The Fidelio is 8ohm, and a pretty easy load, but not sure about Rienzi.

All good Garebear, and I understand your initial point.
However, there are many posts where people are getting few, if any responses. At that point I figure what the heck, let me offer something. I have seen Fidelio's come up here pretty low, and perhaps it's worth the OP's consideration. As for your comment that I'm taking the opportunity to talk about my gear, I don't know what to say other than cheers and enjoy the music. Best -Don

The last pair of Fidelio Encore's I saw for sale were NM Makore finish. They were on Don Better's website, and selling for $5500. I know the previous owner who upgraded to Amadis, and he babies his gear. More to the point, check out what Rienzi's are going for these days. That's really the only point I was trying to make. If I were in the market, it would be a no brainer at each models respective selling prices. Cheers -Don
