Verity Audio FINN - MINT\NEW - Gorgeous Silver \ Great Price\ see pics!

This ad is for a MINT\NEW set of Verity Audio Finn speakers in the gorgeous Verity Silver Metallic finish.

I purchased this set of speakers new just a few months ago from my local Verity dealer, intending them for my second home system. I have changed my plans, so I am putting them up for sale.

I had these unboxed for 3 days. I took photos and then packed them back up in their Verity crates.

Cost in the upgraded finish was $6600.00
I have discounted them $2700.00 here - over 40% off. - as they say, my loss, your gain.

They are 10 out of 10 perfect. Absolutely NO marks, NO smudges,and NO excuses.

The Verity Audio Finn is a speaker of Superb quality and refinement.
It blends gorgeous looks with exquisite sound in a speaker that is easy to drive with modest power.

The Finn is well known as the best looking full range speaker. It looks stunning from any angle.

(Every single detail in the Verity speakers has been done to absolute
perfection - from the proprietary drivers and ultra-high quality crossovers to the exquisite finishes, solid copper binding posts and the finest spikes anywhere.)

The Finn has received rave reviews including product of the year from The Absolute Sound.

I have included text from one of the excellent reviews just below.

The Verity Audio Finn sets a mood. With its shimmering, lacquer finish
setting off a series of gentle angles and seamless non-parallel
cabinet surfaces, this a speaker that could grace the home of the
innovative architect Frank Gehry or modernist-designer Philippe
Starck. There are no visible screws to blemish the effect and even the
thin speaker grilles adhere to the felt-covered baffle via magnets
rather than accident-prone pushpins. If you look at it head-on, the
narrow front baffle disguises the true depth of the Finn; viewed from
the side, the cabinet deepens as it descends to its heavily-spiked
base. This is a speaker that doesn’t have a bad angle. At just a hair under
40” tall the Verity Audio Finn is a relatively
small floorstander constructed of 1” MDF throughout—cabinet and
bracing. It’s a three-way with bass-reflex loading, utilizing all new
drivers. The rear-firing 6” woofer is loaded in a ported Bessel-tuned
(linear-phase) cabinet that crosses over to the 5” midrange at 150Hz
in a first-order slope, while the mid climbs to 4kHz before passing
the baton to the tweeter via a third-order (18dB-per-octave)
crossover.

À la Verity tradition, this wide-running midrange was purpose-designed
to encompass the entire presence range, the region roughly between 1–
4kHz, where the human ear is most sensitive. Normally this band is
shared between tweeter and midrange transducers. Verity acknowledges
that the tinier wavelengths being produced by the 5” mid might reveal
some directionality, but it prefers the purity of this configuration
and argues that less reflected energy off the sidewalls equates to a
more room-friendly speaker.

Unlike Verity’s larger modular Rienzi and Parsifal models, the Finn
has a one-piece enclosure. So while the Rienzi gives you the option of
rotating the woofer section for forward- or rear-firing, the Finn’s
woofer/port aims rearward only. Verity Audio, no stranger to the
complications implicit in bass and room interactions, supplies foam
port-plugs with the Finn, which effectively turn the enclosure into a
quasi-acoustic suspension cabinet. Verity rates the Finn at –3dB at
35Hz without the foam plugs and –3dB at 47Hz with plugs. The port
plugs are very useful, particularly if you are committed to a single
listening position and are faced with the eternal problem of how to
quell a bass hump due to room gain and don’t want to move the speaker
from an otherwise ideal position.

It doesn’t take long to understand what the Finn values most. It has
the fleet-footed sonic sensibility of a smaller speaker at heart—most
notably a two-way compact monitor, which it audibly resembles. Like a
mini-monitor, it exhibits terrific low-level detail, micro-dynamics,
and transient attack—the calling cards of the finest two-ways—with the
added bonus of a righteous amount of deep mid-30Hz bass. Its mid and
treble drivers also have nearly one-voice coherence, coming
tantalizingly close to the point-source ideal. Since it’s not loaded
down with big drivers, the Finn has a lighter, leaner overall sound—
its balance characterized by snap and speed. You sense that there is
no lag time between the signal hitting the voice coil and the reaction
of the diaphragm. For example, there’s the “right now” excitement and
urgency of the Atlanta Brass Ensemble blaring a full-bore Fanfare for
the Common Man. Through the Finn, it’s a liveliness bordering on the
electric. And the Finn is equally at home with a neo-bluegrass band
like Nickel Creek—from the distinctive tightly-strung delicacy of
Chris Thiele’s mandolin to the reflections that trampoline off the
soundboard of a Martin dreadnought.

The Finn mulls over every
inflection with a gossamer-like delicacy, from the vibrato of a solo
violin to a string bend on a blues guitar, to a singer parting her
lips before releasing the first note into an old tube Neumann
microphone. It has an affection for micro-detail, like the octave
strings on a 12-string guitar or the characteristic drone of the
mountain dulcimer.

Vocals are also a critical strength of the Finn. On a song like
Jennifer Warnes’ “Bird On A Wire” or “If It Be Your Will” from Famous
Blue Raincoat [Shout], I was impressed by the articulation and
stability with which the Finn reproduced Warnes’ vocal and its skill
at conveying a finely delineated image of the vocalist in three-
dimensional space. And it really brings to bear these considerable
charms during a classic jazz performance like Ray Brown’s “Take the A
Train” from Soular Energy [Groove Note], from the air of the cymbals
to the speed of the drum kit, the glint of the upper register of the
piano, and the full-bodied bloom and texture of the acoustic bass.
This genre of music represents the “wheelhouse” of the Finn—smaller-
scale acoustic music in definable spaces is where it’s most
comfortable and sounds fully realized. It can play “big,” but
grandiose music is more the province of Verity’s larger offerings. The
Finn’s strengths are of a more intimate variety. For me the Finn
performs its best at naturalistic levels rather than levels that will
cause citywide brownouts.
