Venustas is more neutral than the lower PAD cables.
It still retains that dark & quiet background the PAD cables are known for. However, the tone is slightly on the neutral side with more details. Soundstaging is also deeper & wider than the lower pad siblings.
The Audience i had were the older AU24s.
Very different sound- audience is definitely more neutral, ligher in tone. The soundstage is not as deep or wide as the venustas. However it is slightly more dynamic than the venustas.
I also find the venustas more composed sounding. AU24s is on the lively, more energetic sound.
In the end, it depends on what your speakers are & the amp.
Good luck nonetheless.
