Shopping for new speakers


I have a classe fifteen amp and a coda amp 10. I also have the Parasound 2000 line stage preamp and the Parasound 2000 top load cd player and matching DAC.  I have been looking at sonus faber venere 2.5 Is this a good match, or is there better out there for about 3000 range?

The SF Venere 2.5's are certainly a good match as far as your amps being able to drive them are concerned.  You would have no problems.

Whether they are a good match for your ears is another matter.  So have you heard them and like them?  If you haven't, I agree with Nonoise.  Your going to get a lot of suggestions and and make every effort to audition to find the right speaker for you.
I dont have a dealer here in memphis that deals sonus faber so i am going to drive to nashville to audition them this weekend. I am really looking for a speaker that that does well with my equipment but is wife friendly as well.
Wise move making the trip to audition.  I hope they meet your expectations.  Nothing beats actually hearing them vs. other brands they may have that meet your budget and the all important WAF.  So don't forget to bring music that you are very familiar with along with her.

The one good thing is that you don't need to worry about your Classe amp during the auditions,  It can most likely drive anything you are probably going to listen to this weekend.  Good luck and let us know how the auditions go.
