Just received my pair of Salk Veracity STs in maple dark dye. They are immaculate and beautiful. I have paired them with Luxman gear Dx03, C900U and M10X, sound fantastic.. The demo CD that came with them is such a delight to listen to.. Wish I could order more of these variety CDs from Salk. Have a pair A3 Magico's and these STs are shoulder to shoulder pretty close to in performance.
