Verity Audio Lohengrin IIS - Brand New, Rare Oiled Walnut Finish!

We are very pleased to present this opportunity to acquire a brand new pair of Verity Audio's eXR Series Lohengrin IIS Loudspeakers in a very rare hand rubbed oiled walnut finish. This is among the most expensive finishes offered by Verity Audio and is truly spectacular.

These Lohengrin IIS speakers are absolutely brand new, pristine, and have never been used outside the Verity Audio facility. Note that the photos were taken at Verity Audio following testing and "burn-in".

The Audio Shoppe is pleased to be the official contact source for all matters related to Verity Audio Products for all North American customers, past, present, and future. We are in regular contact with the Verity principals and have obtained all permissions, information, records, and vendor contacts for all "critical" parts used in the construction of Verity Audio Loudspeakers, including all drivers ever used in every model of Verity Audio Loudspeakers built since their inception in 1995.

The Lohengrin by Verity: "Dive into a world of sonic perfection with the Lohengrin, a pinnacle from our extended range series. This masterfully designed two-cabinet, four-way marvel captures the full spectrum of sound, from the deep resonances of bass to the crystal-clear highs. In the upper cabinet, our in-house crafted proprietary ribbon tweeter works in harmony with a wide-spectrum midrange and a potent lower-midrange to deliver every note with unmatched precision. The lower cabinet boasts a powerful, large-scale bass-reflex woofer, optimized for rearward projection. The distinction lies in the details: both cabinets are gracefully isolated using a robust aluminum platform combined with specialized elastomers. Additionally, the lower cabinet integrates Verity’s pioneering Mechanical & Airborne Sound Isolation System (MASIS) to ensure impeccable floor coupling. The Lohengrin’s performance is further accentuated by its impressive sensitivity of 95 dB SPL at 1 watt/1 meter, truly epitomizing the best of Verity Audio technology."

Discover Sonic Excellence: "The culmination of twenty-five years of passion and innovation in the realm of sound reproduction, this speaker represents the pinnacle of our expertise. At Verity, we don’t just follow standards; we set them. Every element, from the unique pure ribbon tweeter we exclusively craft in our laboratories to the meticulous design of the enclosure, has been envisioned with one aim: acoustic perfection. The enclosure, far beyond its refined aesthetics, provides the perfect acoustic environment to elevate the performance of these exceptional speakers. The Lohengrin doesn’t just reproduce sound: it offers a sonic experience where precision, dynamics, and musicality coexist in perfect harmony. Don’t miss the opportunity to experience a benchmark in high-fidelity audio."

Verity Audio has been quietly hand crafting some of the very finest and most musically satisfying loudspeakers in the world for 29 years. Manufactured in Canada, the "cult following" for the original Parsifals seems to become even greater by the year, creating a true "family" of owners refusing to sell or replace their speakers. Consequently, we rarely see them hit the used market and when they do, they typically disappear quickly. We keep a running wait list for Verity Audio Parsifals as well as other Verity models regardless of age.

(Email or call us for translated reviews of the latest Lohengrin IIS iteration.)

We have had the opportunity to use and sell this spectacular loudspeaker model from Verity Audio in it's various iteration for many years. Frankly speaking when properly setup, we have heard no better sounding flagship speaker under $500+K. Verity has always represented a relative value at their original list price and we're significantly reducing that price.

Note that the speakers are currently located Quebec, Canada. (Photos were taken at the Verity Audio Facility.) We can professionally and reliably arrange for shipping anywhere in North America. Please note that the total shipping weight is not for the faint of heart at 830 pounds (single pallet) and shipping must be completed via LTL Freight transportation. The good news however is that the Lohengrin designs are modular and can be assembled (vs very heavy one piece speakers.)

Give us a call to discuss these speakers as well as current circumstances surrounding the Verity Audio company as well as product support going forward.

Here's a chance to join our hardcore "Verity Family of Owners". Arguably, Verity Audio owners are the most loyal speaker owners in audio given how rarely those customers re-sell. When they did, it was to upgrade to a better model. Seasoned owners of Verity's recent Otello, Arindal, and Florestan speaker models have been unanimous in providing comments to the effect, "These have to be the best speaker values in Audio". We can think of no greater compliment given the cost of high end speakers these days.

Regarding payment methods, we can accept most major credit cards or Paypal, however a 3.6 percent fee will be applied. Wire transfer or certified bank checks are accepted with no fees. Certain states may be subject to sales tax. (Ask for details).

Thanks for looking!
