Anybody hear the Sonus Faber Venere?


I am surprised to find no mention of the new SF line up here on the 'Gon. Has anybody heard any of these speakers first hand? They are beautiful and nicely priced.

I just bought a pair of 2.5's in gloss black.
They have maybe 7 hours on them.
Currently breaking them in...
I have returned them. They were not a good fit for me. I listened extensively to both the 4 and 8 ohm taps on my ARC Ref 110 and neither seemed to be a great fit. The 6 ohm impedance and 3.1 minimum impedance are not really tube amp friendly. Sound was too boomy overall and bass was fairly "one note" in my room. Bueautiful speaker, but not a good match for me.
