I had a chance to hear the 1.5's at a Magnolia store in Dallas a month or so back.Set up was horrible & they were spread out about 15'.Driven by a BIG Marantz Surround Receiver I was mighty impressed.The sound stage was wide,deep & tall.Tonal characteristic was warm & organic(just the way I like).For the asking price of $1200.00 I though them a great buy.
Anyone hear SF Venere's? Thougts?
Hello All,
I'm planning to upgrade my current speakers (Hales Revelation 3) with Sonus Faber Venere 2.5. I did listen to them and kind of liked their price/performance ratio. I heard them through Prima Luna Dialog tube amp and Nottingham spacedeck TT. Currently I power the Hales with DK Designs VS.1 Reference MK II. The set-up sounds good but I feel it's missing the mid-lower base (about 60-200Hz). Running hales through tube amp is a tough proposition because of how inefficient the Hales are.
My question is, would it be an upgrade/downgrade/lateral move with SF Venere?
Any thoughts are much appreciated.
Best Regards/Stay Well
