Agreed. The Venere line was built to a price point (let's just say inexpensive) and engineering to impress superficially during a brief in-store demo. But take them home and listen to them for a while, and you'll discover that they are not keepers. I hope SF's new entry-level line is better, but I haven't heard them.
Anyone hear SF Venere's? Thougts?
Hello All,
I'm planning to upgrade my current speakers (Hales Revelation 3) with Sonus Faber Venere 2.5. I did listen to them and kind of liked their price/performance ratio. I heard them through Prima Luna Dialog tube amp and Nottingham spacedeck TT. Currently I power the Hales with DK Designs VS.1 Reference MK II. The set-up sounds good but I feel it's missing the mid-lower base (about 60-200Hz). Running hales through tube amp is a tough proposition because of how inefficient the Hales are.
My question is, would it be an upgrade/downgrade/lateral move with SF Venere?
Any thoughts are much appreciated.
Best Regards/Stay Well
