i have read feedback and comments about this speaker. some say it's great, others say it's crap. some say it's design is bunk, some say it's well engineered. how could this be? are these opinions reality or unfounded. i have owned them for about 5 months and find them to be wonderfull. they do seem to be very revealing. recording qualty is emphasized as are upstream devices. are all speakers and all compenents for that matter reviewed with such variances? it seems to me that the more opinions sought the greater the extreme of the reviews... what is your opinion on these speakers, and exactly why?
Follow Ups:
Like a great push-pull 300B amp in order to really let the Veritas sing. Lesser amps, esp solid-state kinds, will sound well, "less."
It got a rave review from TAS (see link).I auditioned it and was quite impressed by its transparency, soundstage, dynamics, attack, poise and refinement. Pretty neutral, all in all. Terrific with voices.
Opinions are what they are. I have a pair of 10-yr old KEF Reference 103/4 about which Tom Norton (Stereophile) and Martin Colloms (HFNR) wrote diametrically opposed things:
TN:"... a rather crisp, top-heavy quality wich lent an impressive clarity to the sound, but which tended to be overly analytical."
MC: ".... consistently sweet and creamy. Even when certain programs could -- and perhaps should -- have been forward and aggressive, the 103/4 toned them down."
TN:" Percussion had excessive zip and isolated HF notes pushed unnaturally forward."
MC: "The speaker lacked crispness on percussive sounds."
TN: " There was a step-into transparency through much of the frequency range which produced a lively, clear quality."
MC: "... I was disappointed by [the speaker's] moderate transparency."
Enough said.
I almost bought the Veritas 2.3 (but in the end I decided instead to add an ACI Force subwoofer to my KEF, which now sound like a different pair of full-range speakers.) They are wonderful and they should give you a lot pleasure for a long time.

well considering they are used to master Patricia barber, and IIRC Eva Cassidy, I'd say they were pretty damn accurate. I listened to them, and I dare say they are killer.
I think they're fairly good actually.
