for the Veritas 1.8


I know these are discontinued, but if you can buy a good pair used, buy them. These are wonderful speakers. I have a large listening room (25x18) and they produce almost too much bass. You can feel it in the listening chair. Make sure they are away from corners and walls a good 3ft all around if you can unless you like loads of bottom end. Everyone who hear mine ask where the sub is. They can't believe little 6.5" drivers make all that bass. The mids and highs are stunning. No colouration and silky smooth with no shrillness whatsoever. They produce a huge deep soundstage, have boundless dynamic range and can play at enormous volume with no compression or strain at any frequency. In sum they give you a big sound with accuracy, dynamics, punch, detail, delicasy and ambience galore. But please note, these are Big room speakers that require a powerful amp. I also recommend Tri-wiring them as this opens up the soundstage even more. Reference quality speakers to be sure!
