Shindo Latour vs Verity vs DeVore ..etc

I have heard the Shindo Latour speakers driven by an all Shindo setup. The "musical" detail in that setup while not being harsh at all just blew me away. I have also read about the verity having a good synergy with the Shindo components. Can anyone who has heard the Latour and any of the others, especially the verity and the deVore please post what the main differences are in the sound? Does the verity setup have similar amount of detail? What about the devore - eights of nines? Is there any other speaker that would be a good match for the Shindo components in the lines of the Latour?

thanks in advance

I have heard the Latour in an all shindo system and have also heard verity parsifal encore/ovation and devore gibbon and nines in other systems

The verity and devore are very nice speakers but the Latour is at another level entirely IMO...but them it should be as it is 2-4 times the price.

I would contact Matt at Pitch Perfect in SF, CA and see what he can tell you...and seek a demo if possible... if you would be willing to accept the differences is only up to you.

I have heard the Silverback for a short session at a dealers, and it was very impressive. It was driven by Nagra Pyramid SS monos. I owned Parsifal Encores, and always enjoyed them. They sounded so good with Tenor OTL's, especially on acoustic stuff and vocals. The Silverback, and the 8's/9's , are easier to drive than the Verity Parsifal's. The Parsifal likes an amp that can control the bass. I cannot see less than 60 or so wpc with the Parsifal. I believe the Devore's may work better with a variety of amps that are 60 wpc or less. Two other dealers that carry both these speakers are Goodwins, and Don Better audio. Don Better has Shindo as well. Don is in Cleveland, Goodwins is in Waltham ,MA near Boston. I am not familiar with the Shindo. I know that Shindo does have some higher powered amps. If yours is say 30-40 wpc, I would think Devore, or of course the Shindo speakers. Is there a reason why you are looking at Parsifal's at 20K+, and not the Silverback in the Devore line. It would seem a much more balanced comparison. I am sure Pitch Perfect or one of the dealers I mentioned could shed a better light on things for you. Hopefully, more can chime in here as well. I would like to hear more about the Devore line as well. It's a bit quiet on the archived threads here. Maybe not so much on the 8's and 9's, but certainly on the Silverback

Thanks for your replies. Can anyone comment on which speakers are detailed? Between the DeVores and the Verity's am I right in saying that the Veritys produce a bit more body in the bottom end whereas the deVores tend to be a little leaner? is this a right assessment? I know that the Latour is in a different league - but if I understnad right there are petite latours and smaller speakers from Shindo as well, dont know how good they are compared to their top of the line speakers though.
How do the Harbeth's compare to the Verity and DeVores?

thanks
