Too many to mention

none so far

This is the old Parsifal (before the encore). This is an amazing speaker. It has one of the best midranges I have ever heard. The bass is remarkably detailed, taught, and extended. This is good value for money. I heard the Fidelio and was also very impressed. This is one of the finest speakers on the market.

POWERFUL AND DETAILED IN EVERY WAY. FROM CLASSICAL TO JAZZ
BIG BAND TO SWEET SOLOS THESE SPEAKERS BRING THEM HOME ANDI

I listened to these and while they're impressuive for acoustic or orchestral music, they lacked dynamics and punch, and did not do well at Rock. I imagine they would also suffer in a HT environment.
I bought the Martin-Logan SL3's instead.

About the parsifal encore. For the price, the smallish size of the speaker may look deceiving to those accustomed to mamoth-sized gear...until you hear them play. The true feat of the parsifal is that you get no-compromise sound, style and cabinetry, in a package you can live with and that still leave space for luxuries such as a sofa or t.v. set.....Mind you, many people have the space to accomodate giant speakers. The fact is that the quality of components, the superb design ( woofer can be fired from front or back with a simple twist, off the granite spacer ), and the emotion generated from playing my favortite cd's make the Parsifal a fabulous value for the money. Scrape the money, you will buy them with a smile, and keep them for life. They're that good.

FROM TOP TO BOTTOM SIDE TO SIDE THIS IS THE BEST.
THIS IS TRUELY A CLASSIC TREASURE......

If you are considering an 11k to 20k spkr. purchase and you dont seek these spkrs out you will miss a great -musical- experience. The upgrade to the Encore version is well worth the xtra cash. The midrange covers 80% of the spectrum and its is as open,airy,detailed and listenable a spkr as I have ever owned. The finish is as good or better than Wilson products. After several conversations with the designer I feel very comfortable saying this is a final purchase of speakers for me. The Utopias are better. got 70k lying around!
