Verity Audio's Sarastro IIS towers are rare beasts in the used market, prized for their monstrous scale and refinement but seldom traded—recent comps from 11 similar EUR listings peg the median at €9,816, with a tight 25th-75th percentile band of €8,214 to €20,124. At €29,990 for a "good" condition demo pair, this is ambitiously priced, well above the 75th percentile and pushing into new-unit territory; it might reflect pristine upkeep or extras, but you'd need to justify the premium over more grounded alternatives.
Before biting, verify the drivers' surround integrity—these can degrade from humidity or age, causing midbass bloom—and confirm original grilles, spikes, and any damping plugs are included, as omissions slash resale. Probe the seller on service history too; Verity's custom crossovers benefit from periodic checks to avoid phase anomalies.
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.
