Using this Manual
Please take the time to carefully read this instruction manual prior to
installation or use of your Florestan loudspeaker. Your reading efforts
will be rewarded by the satisfaction of getting a full performance achie-
vement and a long service life. We believe that a thorough understan-
ding of your new loudspeakers can save you a lot of anxiety.
This manual will guide you for setting up and operating your loudspea-
kers and will teach you how to unpack, repack, clean and service your
product. Furthermore, we have included a few informative sections for
the benefit of your own Florestan familiarization.
We are pleased to count you among the most privilege owners of a
unique product that will yield a very enjoyable experience for years to
come.
Product Overview
Your new speakers are the product of skilled engineering backed by
years of experience. They are the result of an international collabora-
tion between audio professionals and acoustical engineers. They have
been designed to deliver unmatched musicality in a home listening
environment.
The Florestan speakers bring significant enhancement to any audio
system and perform at their peak when paired with high-performance
equipment.
The Florestan speaker consists of two main components: a bass enclo-
sure and a monitor enclosure. The monitor enclosure is placed directly
on top of the bass one, thus forming a cohesive and integrated spea-
ker. Despite their proximity, a sturdy aluminum divider ensures their
mutual isolation. Together, they provide exceptional acoustic perfor-
mance, covering a wide spectral and dynamic range. Finally, the en-
semble is mounted on the MASIS base, ensuring optimal isolation of
the speaker from the ground.
The Florestan speaker features proven bass reflex technology and is
characterized by a rear-facing woofer. This technical innovation was
developed by Verity Audio. It is a technology that has proven effective
and has been successfully integrated across the range of Verity Audio
speakers. It offers an outstanding sound experience, achieving deeper
and extended bass. The main advantage lies in the fact that it extends
the reach of low frequencies while preserving unmatched sound pre-
cision. Thus, users can expect high-quality sound reproduction, where
the depth of the bass perfectly complements the clarity of the sound.
The Florestan monitor enclosure incorporates a major innovation in
acoustics: a revolutionary system that balances the pressure at the
front and rear of the midrange. This achievement is made possible by
an opening positioned at the back of the monitor, complemented by an
acoustic filter meticulously designed by our Verity Audio acousticians.
The result of this avant-garde technology becomes obvious during
listening: the Florestan has the rare ability to completely fade into its
environment, giving way to a pure sonic performance. The sound space
is thus expanded and deepened, giving the listener an immersive expe-
rience characterized by striking width and depth of the sound image.
This fusion of design and technology makes the Florestan an essential
choice for those seeking uncompromising sound quality, where every
detail is beautifully magnified.
The Florestan speakers represent the pinnacle of acoustic precision, pro-
viding unprecedented authenticity and immersion in a home listening
setting. Their wide dynamic and spectral range ensures sound repro-
duction of remarkable precision. Ultimately, they have been designed
to provide you with countless hours of listening while preserving your
auditory comfort. Immerse yourself in this exceptional sound quality.

Description
The Florestan is a sophisticated 3-way loudspeaker designed for unpa-
ralleled sound quality. It boasts a unique sandwich-cone woofer driver
that enhances dynamic range and bass accuracy, a wide-bandwidth mi-
drange transducer optimized for the frequency spectrum most sensitive
to the human ear, and a pure aluminum Verity Audio ribbon tweeter to
capture super high frequencies. Its crossover system employs a first-or-
der slope between the woofer and midrange, and a third-order slope
between the midrange and high-frequency unit, ensuring a seamless
sound blend across the whole frequency spectrum.
Just like all Verity Audio loudspeakers, The Florestan works with the-
room reinforcement characteristics to produce quick and solid bass per-

formances. Despite its rather moderate size, the Florestan loudspeaker
provides a low frequency extension down to a deep 20 Hz.
The midrange and woofer units have been optimized for maximum
cone rigidity without breakup resonance. They offer a low level of dis-
tortion, extended dynamics range, high-power handling, and a simple
dividing network.
The tweeter has been specifically designed to give extended, natural
and resonance free reproduction of the harmonic content of all musical
instruments.
These units have been integrated with a very carefully designed cros-
sover that allows each driver to deliver its full potential. Moreover, all
components used are carefully computer-matched and indexed to en-
able optimum sound staging performance.
Packing and Unpacking
Before they left the factory, your Florestan cabinets passed an exhaus-
tive quality control procedure to guarantee their genuine state. Please
observe carefully the provided unpacking instructions for maximum
product safety. Once your Florestan cabinets will be unpacked, inspect
them carefully for any physical damage. If any transit damage can be
noticed, please notify your dealer immediately and request the carrier’s
name so a written claim can be initiated.
Your Florestan comes packed in a ATA (Air Transport Association) Metal
Flight Case complete with all the necessary protection accessories. For
transportation purposes, we strongly recommend you to keep and store
all your packaging.
Unless the carrier is notified promptly and all the shipping cases are
available for inspection, the right to claim can be forfeited.
Installation
To identify a proper location for the installation of your Florestan,
please refer to the Room Placement section of this manual or follow
the recommendations of either Verity Audio or your dealer.
Once the speakers are properly installed, connect them to the amplifier
using quality speaker cables. Make sure that the polarities are respected
at both ends and that your cables are installed in the proper direction.
The positive input is identified by both either the (+) sign or red connec-
tor and the negative input is identified by either the (-) sign or the black
connector located on the connector plate.
Connect the bottom woofer cabinet with the top monitor cabinet using
the provided 4-pin jumper connector.
For vacuum tube equipment that has multiple output impedance taps,
the eight-ohm taps should provide the best interface with the Flores-
tan.
Isolating Base (MASIS)
Your Florestan loudspeakers are designed to lie on top of a floor iso-
lation stand which improves the acoustic performance by controlling
undesired stray energy. Your floor isolation stand is a shell containing
special materials that act as an acoustic resonator and filter. It rests on
four adjustable cushioned feet.
Installing the loudspeaker on the floor isolation stand is easy. Simply
put the stand on the floor at the chosen location, then carefully lay
down the cabinet on top of it. The stand is shaped like the loudspeaker
bottom, an elegant design that also guarantees optimal isolation. For
ideal performance, make sure the loudspeaker lies straight on top of
the floor isolation stand. The stand and loudspeaker should perfectly
match.
Once the speaker lies on the stand, it is best to level the whole louds-
peaker by adjusting the height of each individual foot. No tool is re-
quired: simply screw or unscrew the knurled feet by hand. Each foot can
be adjusted individually, which allows you to level the unit even if it
stands on an uneven floor.
The feet of the floor isolation stand are cushioned, allowing you to ea-
sily move the Florestan by gently pushing them. Do not push the unit
from the top, as the speaker might tip over but push it at its base, near
the floor. Once assembled, the loudspeaker and stand are designed
to remain coupled through high friction material. Therefore, you don’t
need to lift the unit or lift the speaker from the stand if you wish to
move your Florestan. Never try to lift both the loudspeaker and the
isolation base altogether.
Unlike the spikes that are the industry standard, the cushioned feet of
Verity’s floor isolation stand do not damage floors and allow you to ea-
sily and quickly move your loudspeakers. You can thus easily adjust the
placement of your speakers inside your listening room or move them
around as needed.
Please note that the loudspeaker may no longer be leveled after it is
moved. For your speakers to deliver their best performance, we recom-
mend that you double-check whether your loudspeaker remains level
after being moved, then adjust the feet of the floor isolation stand to
restore the proper alignment if necessary.
Room Placement
Indoors, acoustic intelligibility is of great concern for a variety of rea-
sons. It requires low background noise levels and “good” acoustical
design. In any room, the reverberant sound pressure level increases as
the acoustic power increases and decreases as sound absorption in the
room increases and / or sound power flows from the room. The sound
field in a room is composed of two parts, the direct field and the rever-
berant field.
The complex theories of physical acoustics, the uncertainties in predic-
ting the property variations of both natural and manufactured room
materials, and the none negligible effects of painting, sealing, bracing,
furring, and draping all keep the specification and prediction of room
acoustics from being an exact science. Adding together, loudspeaker
characteristics, the auditory personal taste and ergonomics make, by
practical means, the equation impossible to solve. The frequent need to
evaluate the final result by listening rather than by purely quantitative
methods gives acoustical tuning a somewhat subjective procedure.
Nevertheless, knowing what the Florestan is capable of doing will be

your major asset in establishing the best setup for your loudspeaker.
Here are a few simple rules that will guide you. A good setup will give
you fast transients from the bottom end to top-end, proper image
height and a wide and deep soundstage.
Having that in mind, the following guidelines are based on our own ex-
perience with the Florestan. We recommend that you start with these
and later on (after getting familiar with your Florestan) bring your own
modifications that will optimize your setup.
First, the distance from the rear wall to the speaker woofer (dust-cap
center) should be equaled to the length of your room multiplied by
0.1459. Then the distance from the side wall to the speaker woofer
(dust-cap center) should be equaled to the width of your room multi-
plied by 0.1459. Finally, your listening position should be width-cente-
red and the distance from the rear wall to your ears should be equaled to
the length of your room multiplied by either 0.1459, 0.2360 or 0.3819.
Note that the above method should be considered as a rudimentary
guideline. Loudspeaker room placement is an art in itself and the best
setup will most likely require trials and errors . For best results, we sim-
ply recommend that you contact Verity Audio (inf[email protected])
and ask for advice. Our acousticians are knowledgable and will propose
a few loudspeaker placements according to your room specifications
and restrictions. We have been helping our customers for years in fin-
ding the best location for their loudspeakers. Please note that there is
no distance limitation with the rear woofer and back wall, simply make
sure that the vent clearance is more than 8-inches.
We suggest that you start with the speakers aligned directly at you.
Then open them (angle increase) slowly until you get the best sounds-
tage without losing too much center-stage definition. In most cases,
the left speaker should be aligned toward your left shoulder and the
right speaker should be aligned toward your right shoulder. Opening
them will improve your image width and closing them will improve your
image center definition.
Room Treatment
The Florestan gives its best performance in an average-furnished do-
mestic listening room. It requires a minimum of room treatment. Be-
fore investing in room treatment, we strongly recommend that you
take the time to listen and get familiar with your speakers. The Flo-
restan has proven to be a standalone loudspeaker that rarely needs to
be acoustically corrected. A good room placement is usually the most
effective approach.
You should always start to position your speakers without any treat-
ment. If speaker positioning cannot solve standing waves or reverbera-
tion problems read the following.
The principal design factor for internal acoustics of a room, in addition
to shape and size, is the control of sound absorption and reflection. The
total absorption required to give optimum reverberation is inherent to

your room characteristics, i.e., which surfaces are absorptive or reflec-
tive, the area of these surfaces and the selection of acoustical materials.
The flutter echoes are an acoustic phenomenon that occurs in a room
when sound waves repeatedly reflect between two parallel surfaces,
such as two opposite walls or the floor and the ceiling. These successive
reflections create a fast and repeated series of echoes that sound like a
«flutter» or beating noise.
The flutter echo is easily recognizable: it manifests as a series of clear
and distinct sound repetitions after an initial noise, such as the clapping
of hands. This phenomenon can degrade the sound quality in a room,
making music or speech unpleasant or difficult to understand.
To treat or prevent flutter echoes, acousticians can use absorbent ma-
terials or diffusers to disrupt sound reflections between parallel surfaces.
Reverberation is an acoustic phenomenon where sound persists in an
environment after the cessation of the original sound source. This phe-
nomenon is due to the multiple reflections of sound on the surfaces of
a room, such as walls, the ceiling, and the floor, before finally being ab-
sorbed. Reverberation gives a space its particular sound characteristic.
For example, a church or a cathedral will typically have a long reverbe-
ration, giving a sense of space and grandeur.
The «reverberation time» is a measure used to quantify reverberation.
It is defined as the time needed for the sound level to decrease by 60
decibels after the cessation of the sound source.
The optimal reverberation time for reproducing music depends on the
type of music and the size of the room. However, for most music halls
and recording studios, a reverberation time between 0.4 and 0.6 se-
conds (for frequencies ranging from 500 to 1,000 Hz) is often conside-
red ideal. This time allows sufficient clarity to distinguish the details of
the music while providing a sense of space and richness. It is important
to note that this is only a generalization and that certain musical genres
or performances might benefit from a different reverberation time.
A standing wave is a phenomenon that occurs when a sound wave
is reflected off a surface and interferes with itself. This creates areas of
maximum (nodes) and minimum (antinodes) pressure that remain sta-
tionary in space. A properly proportioned room distributes sound reflec-
tions evenly, thus reducing the formation of standing waves. Through
acoustic treatment, one can control the levels of standing waves by
using absorbers to reduce reflections and diffusers to disperse sound.
If you suspect the presence of standing waves in your space, we advise
you to contact your dealer to receive advice tailored to this situation.
re reflections from opposing parallel surfaces resulting in audible peaks
and dips in the reverberation time / frequency curve. In properly pro-
portioned rooms, resonances can be effectively reduced and standing
waves practically eliminated by introducing sound treatment devices.
The object is to prevent sound reflection from going back to the point
of origin until after several reflections and/or after being considerably
attenuated. Once again if you feel having a standing wave problem in
your room, please consult your dealer to get proper assistance on this
matter.
Early reflections refer to the first sound waves that are reflected by
the surfaces of a room (walls, ceiling, floor) before reaching the liste-
ner’s ear, following the initial directivity of the speaker.
These reflections can have a significant impact on the listener’s sound
perception. If not well managed, they can blur the stereo image, alter
the tonal balance, or introduce other perceptual anomalies. This is why
audiophiles and acoustics professionals often pay particular attention
to controlling these early reflections, for instance, by using acoustic
panels or other treatments to absorb or diffuse these reflections. Your
dealer can effectively assist you in this matter.
We generally favor diffusion over damping, maintaining an adequate
reverberation time in the room. A room that is too damped will quickly
sound dull or lose its liveliness.
If you choose to work with a specialized room treatment device, the
manufacturer’s instructions should be followed.
Ancillary Equipment
Your new Florestan is an extremely precise instrument that can clearly
reveal the qualities of your upstream equipment. Your Florestan perfor-
mance will be closely related to the excellence of its associated equip-
ment. Subsequently, it would be wise to invest in high-quality ancillary
equipment, as your enjoyment will be consequently rewarded.
The Florestan shows an easy impedance load for most power ampli-
fiers. It has been evaluated with a wide variety of power amplifiers and
has shown consistent results with quality solid state and vacuum tube
equipment. Superb performance can be realized from either design.
The high quality binding posts on the Verity Audio Florestan accept
banana plugs, spade connectors or bare wires. For best results, we re-
commend the use of spade connectors.
When choosing speaker cables, experimentation is the best way to find
out which ones will be the most satisfying in your installation. Your
Verity Audio Dealer can be of assistance in making recommendations.
Power Handling
The power tolerance of a loudspeaker is correlated to its maximum
voice-coil heat dissipation and to its maximum cone displacement.
These parameters are in turn stimulated by the time, amplitude and
spectral characteristics of the applied musical energy. At low frequen-
cies, the maximum cone displacement is normally reached before
maximum voice-coil temperature.
With the Florestan’s transducers, because of their superior ventilation
system, the voice-coils will most likely never reach critical tempe-
ratures. But low frequencies played at high levels can ask for a larger
cone displacement than allowed by the driver suspension. A driver rea-
ching its maximum displacement will not break unless this situation is
maintained for an inordinate period of time. Before a driver reaches its
maximum displacement, its distortion level will increase greatly and will
become audible. So when a speaker starts sounding bright and hard or
if any “cracking noise” can be heard, just lower the level until it sounds
comfortable again.
The Florestan has to be played unexpectedly loud before any occur-
rence of compression or distortion appears.

Cabinet Resonance
Cabinet resonances are controlled in an unique way. Their amplitudes
are lowered and their frequencies are increased becoming more direc-
tional and less likely to reach the listener. In an average furnished liste-
ning room, this stray energy will be quicly dissipated. Also, traveling
high-frequency sonic waves attenuate faster than their low frequency
counterpart. A unique cabinet bracing arrangement can break a wall
resonance into multiple higher frequency resonances that are not har-
monically related. By doing so, their amplitudes are greatly reduced.
The cabinet construction tolerances are so tight that only compu-
ter-controlled tooling can cut panels with acceptable accuracy.
The cabinet rigidity lowers, even more, any chances of coloration
caused by unwanted vibrations. Special materials are used to ensure
stability of the cabinet in any acoustical environment.
Care of the Finish
The high quality finishing applied on the Florestan is composed of
high-grade lacquer. You will only find them on luxury pieces of furni-
ture. They are long-lasting finishes and need little care.
Never use any solvent or abrasives to clean your speakers. To remove
fingerprints, use a lint-free cloth moistened with a few drops of water.
Yoy can dry clean your finish with a microfiber cloth. A window cleaner
liquid can also be used with caution if necessary.
