I had the 2.5s in my system on extended demo. They’re decent, but the cabinet is lightweight and resonates despite SF trying to mitigate it through shaping the cabinet. I’d avoid the Venere series — there’s a reason they discontinued it relatively quickly. There are just too many really good alternatives out there.
There’s a nice pair of Joseph Audio RM7XL Monitors available on USAudioMart, and those will kill the Veneres in every parameter. I’d also take the Silverline Minuets over the Venere if the Josephs are out of your price range. Just get the Josephs — you’ll be thrilled. FWIW, and best of luck.
