Stunning loudspeakers, best in class. Complete with packaging
The timing matters a bit, because this is an established older flagship rather than a current-generation model, but that also means the value is mostly about condition and provenance now. At £26,990, it sits just above the £26,080 median and a touch over the £26,716 75th percentile, so it reads as mildly ambitious rather than a standout bargain.
What keeps it interesting is the Sarastro IIS’s reputation for scale, effortless dynamics, and a big, room-filling presentation with real finesse. In excellent condition, that matters: these are rare enough that a clean pair with no obvious cosmetic or functional issues can still make sense for someone chasing a true high-end full-range speaker. The price is only just into premium territory, so if the finish, drivers, and ownership history are strong, it’s a credible buy.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Verity Audio, a boutique high-end audio brand from Quebec City, Canada, was founded in 1995 by Julien Pelchat and Bruno Bouchard, who met while working at Oracle Audio. The duo launched their debut product, the Parsifal loudspeaker, in 1996, establishing a philosophy centered on eliminating listening fatigue through innovative design that prioritized musical engagement over analytical harshness. Nearly three decades of refinement followed, with the Parsifal evolving through multiple iterations while upholding the company's core tenets of smooth treble, transparent midrange, and authoritative bass.
The brand focused exclusively on loudspeakers, crafting floorstanding and monitor models like the Otello and later Parsifal variants, all hand-built in small batches by a team of just five to eight employees. Verity eschewed diversification into amplifiers, DACs, turntables, or cables, instead channeling expertise into drivers, enclosures, and crossover networks that delivered non-fatiguing, emotionally involving sound reproduction.
Positioned firmly in the high-end niche, Verity Audio earned acclaim among audiophiles for speakers that balanced detail with musicality, challenging industry norms without chasing trends. As a small, passionate operation, it cultivated a cult following before quietly ceasing operations around 2020, leaving a legacy of coveted, fatigue-free listening that endures among collectors and enthusiasts.
