Any experiences of the sonus faber venere 2.0 / 2.5.
Worth a demo, compared to something like the ATC scm11’s?
Thanks

interesting read on the Veneres being fatiguing and also the comparisons with ATC 40s
Thanks also for the suggestions too Cno. I’ve heard some of the above before with mixed results. I’ve always liked Spendors however my amplification at the moment is quite warm so it maybe too much.
Inthijk my taste maybe changing too. Had years of warm systems and ready for something more neutral, but I just need to book some demos to be sure
seemorebtts said:The ATC. Are way better than the sonus Faber. Not to say I don't like the venere but the ATC have lots more detail on offer and are better in every way to the venere.if you want silky smooth treble than look at the venere but that's it
very realistic sound. They used to be made with a beryllium tweeter but usher said even tho they sound great with this tweeter they wanted more realistic sound and the only way to do this was to swop for a diamond tweeter which is absolutely stunning. Not hash but very smooth with incredible detail. Great timing and speed and muscle bass. I had lots of Speaker's over the years but these are great at everything.they are even easy to drive so will suit all amps. I'm trying to find fault but I can't. For me perfection until I try the mini dancers 2Macspur said:seemorebtts said:The ATC. Are way better than the sonus Faber.

I notice you have Usher Mini Dancer speakers... are you able to describe their sound qualities?

I had the usher audio n-6300 speakers standmounts which blow me away. I loved them. They were £1200 and I thought they were better than ATC 11 and pmc.Macspur said:seemorebtts said:very realistic sound.

That's great thanks... I demoed some Ushers about 10 years ago, can't remember the model though, they were quite large stand mounts and pretty heavy... I did quite like them, but had quite a flat response, so decided against them.
It's good to hear about other speakers on here instead of the usual culprits.
Apologies to the op, just had to ask about the Dancers.

yes I’m suspecting this to be the case, but Looking forward to having a listen.seemorebtts said:The ATC. Are way better than the sonus Faber.

stereoman said:A friend of mine has got Venere 2.5. I popped in for a listen. He actually played music from FLAC via Cyrus pre amp, Musical Fidelity power end. I need to say they made a nice impression but that was it. I would describe their sound on the slightly warm side. With good midrange response. The sound was not kinda analytical like in some but got this vividness to it. I would say they are very balanced and offer really unagressive sound. Bass is a bit veiled and treble as well. Great speakers for a "bright room". Actually I cannot really say a bad word about them. Really nice overall sound. Just like Spendors on steroids for example. The detail is also not lacking but they offer it not in spades.
