Venture Audio

I had the pleasure of spending an afternoon at the home of the us distributor of these great speakers; in Moorpark, CA. They simply sounded warm, great sound stage, fast, very accurate and detailed, like live music. I brought some of my own music to the audition; and heard things I never heard before...almost perfect sonic nirvana,..except the price of admission is a bit steep..more than the Wilson maxx v3's, more than Magico M5's..so they share rarified air indeed..they look fantastic; and sound to match; easy to drive and place...worthy of consideration of audition if this is your price range...

I heard their top of the line pair; which I believe retails for around $85-90k. I've not heard the Maxx3, but have heard the Magico M-5 at Weinhart design in LA, and also compare them to the MBL 111'es I have. I felt the Venture were better than my MBL's in many ways, hard to compare them the M-5's, different rooms and different electronics feeding them; the M-5's were being feed digital data from PS audio perfect wave d/t, with tubed EAR preamp and amps, the Ventures had CD transport, DAC, and solid state amps...the venture's to my ear sounded very good; warm, open; great sound staging, incredible detail; fantastic midrange and base, no fatigue, I could be very happy with these speakers if I could afford them.Not many people are aware of this find brand, and they don't get much review time; but they are indeed worthy competitors to the best out there; and should be auditioned if possible. I think I liked them better than the Magico's M-5, but would need to spend more critical listening to arrive at a fair and accurate comparison.
