Venture has the Encore at $30+, all the way up to the $200,000 Extremes. They have to be heard to be believed, and the build quality, finish is just as good.
VENTURE AUDIO SPEAKERS CHECK IN
I have a beautiful pair of CR-8 Signatures, more or less the middle of the pack, but to me they are priceless. They absolutely killed my B&W 802 Diamond and Focal Alto Be. We are a small group, but many times get best in show, or at least very positive reviews. I cannot how hard my CR-8 hit and yet are so delicate and sweet at the same time. Kind of like a the woman in "Haywire". Kick-ass, yet very attractive. I also am friends with the Venture US distributor, Mike Slaminski, and he has never tired t sell me any Venture speakers. It is only when I ask about the Venture line, do I get the best advice.
