Sonus Faber Venere 3.0 Opinions?

I had Venere 2.0 bookshelves setup for my home theater for a couple years. I thought they worked well within a "movie" context, where a forward, somewhat punched-up colored sound would enhance the "cinematic experience". At the same time, the Veneres tended to be pretty fatiguing for music. This prompted their sale, as I wanted a more versatile speaker in my theater system. I would anticipate the Venere 3.0 towers would be a variation on that theme: forward and colored. Given that, if you have the constitution of lead-reinforced concrete, and thrive on cranking stuff like movies, death-metal, or Scottish bagpipes, they might work well for you. Naturally you should audition for yourself, but I do concur with the comment on the Olympica IIs having a substantially better sound.
