Offered is „Otello“ by Verity Audio as second-hand device from the category „Standing Speaker“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 6496315406 ends on 02.11.2026 at 17:23 o'clock.
Compared with the usual used-floor alternative of hunting a similarly priced standmount or an older floorstander, this is squarely in fair-value territory. At €7,990 against a recent comparable median of €7,984, it lands almost exactly at market, so there’s no bargain premium here, but also nothing inflated about it.
What makes it appealing is the Verity house sound: refined, coherent, and very easy to live with when the rest of the system is up to the task. A clean pair at this price can be a smart buy if the finish, drivers, and any original packaging or spikes are all present; otherwise, just confirm cosmetic condition and that both speakers have been handled carefully, because at this level small issues matter more than usual.
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.
