How about the Cocobolo Auteur outstanding !

Yeah, these two woods are very, very close sonically on the Auteur. The notes really pop on both of them because of the hardness of the wood.

So glad you and Zach were able to hear each other’s work. Match made in heaven, IMO!

@zach915m if those Aeolus prototype design variations are purely aesthetic, perhaps it would be wise to let the customers have some input on what they like? Unless thats not the case, or you have a vision in mind of course. Either way, I cant wait to see it. I know i shouldnt buy it, but i know i probably will. Best of luck zach!

Oh, my aching ... wallet :)

Seriously, can the Verite drive my Utopia off the wall?

My punt on this is Utopia will be more consistent in level of detail, texture, freq response and maybe slightly more resolving.... Verite will be more natural sounding, less bright (depending on hardness of wood) and due to the natural material it uses the bass maybe bigger, sweeter in exchange for slight drop in detail and attack compared to Utopia....

You should never regret that purchase, lol! Blackwood Auteur is phenomenal.

Don't plan to get the Verite, Utopia uses the same material and that not my taste. I know Zach uses wood housing but metallic diaphragm isn't my cup of tea.

I guess we’ll see.

Of course the other question is how close Verite will be to Auteur. To my ears, Auteur are pretty close to Utopia, so if Verite are in between,..

It's a PEN driver with a beryllium surface coating if that changes anything for you

So you've heard the Verite then and can make this statement based on in depth, personal impressions?
