I heard some broken-in Venere 2.5’s about a month ago and was shocked at the sound quality for the money. I had Dyn C1’s and C1 sig’s for a total of 5 years followed by a year of Raidho D1’s and Raidho D2’s for almost a year. Those 2.5’s are really nice. A little laid back but that is what I prefer and as you can see from my previous and present speakers. I'm not saying the 2.5's are better than what I had/have but for the bucks spent they have some excellent qualities that I can compare to what I had.
Last as far as an amp/integrated I would look for one that has a ’warmer’ sound. IMO don’t buy an amp/integrated just for power. Get it for the sound quality. You would be surprised how good something like a Naim Supernait2 SS integrated (at 80W) sounds.
So give the 2.5’s a good 6 months before making any decision.
