PAD Venustas vs Audience AU24e

Hello.

Anyone try any of these Speaker cables?

I use the none "e" version of Audience speakercable.
And the Audience Powercord E are on the way to me (next-week)

My issue is that I lack a little bit of body to my sound.
I hope that the Audience Powercord e will help here.
Just use stockcord right know.

Heard from a friend that Purist Audio Venustas would work great to my speakers Gamut L-5.
I have own alot of PAD cable before aqueous anniversary speakercable interconnects and Venustas interconnect Dominus power. Never Venustas speakercable.

Did try Audioquest Volcano, they did play bigger and heavy than the Audience, but didnt have the same dynamics or openness.

So my question is how do Purist Audio Venustas compare to the Audience AU24E?

Best Regards
Fredrik

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.
