Special Price: NZ$2,995/pr
Price Guide: RRP $7,500/pr
Marketing these stunning SONUS FABER Venere 3.0 speakers in excellent condition, on behalf of a client who is moving his system on.
The 3.0s are the flagship of the Venere series, which abandons the classic Sonus faber look, borrowing instead the lyre-shaped cabinet of the company’s top-of-the-line Aida speakers
Sonus faber describes the speaker as having a “lyre shape. The speakers are squared off at the front to create a flat plane for the drivers. Ultimately, this combination of angles, curves and lines gives them an elegant, sculptural aesthetic.
The Veneres are sizeable floorstanders: about 4 feet tall, with enough room to house a silk dome tweeter, a 5-inch midrange driver and 2x 6-inch bass drivers, plus a rectangular port at the bottom.
The base is made of strong glass with aluminium connectors at the edges, where you affix the tapered, spiked cone feet. This combination provides a solid anchor for the Veneres.
Two sets of binding posts facilitate bi-wiring or bi-amping, and the included jumpers make it easy for those of us with only one set of speaker cables.
the Veneres require only a small amount of toe-in for best imaging. Like two polite and conversational party guests, the speakers are not too finicky about where they stand, and their oration inspires active listening.
It’s clear that Sonus faber put its biggest investment into the Venere 3.0 where the money belongs: the sonics.
Soundstage review conclusion:
”At the end of the day, the Sonus Faber Venere 3.0 is the speaker I would unhesitatingly recommend to any friend shopping for a pair of speakers costing up to US$4500/pr (excl sales tax - NZ$8,500). While there’s stiff competition above that, I can’t think of any other speaker I’d rather own at the price. But even if you’ve budgeted US$4500 to US$6000 (+ sales tax), the Venere 3.0 should be in your short list of speakers to hear. This speaker is a big deal for Sonus Faber, and for the high-end community at large”.. . . Jeff Fritz

Tone Magazine review comments:
”These speakers do a shockingly good job of extending the perceived width of the stage on which the musicians are playing”.
“The speakers manage to bring those bits of music around the edges of the room into the listening area. The same is true with larger orchestral pieces, like Vivaldi’s “Four Seasons” concertos. These speakers incorporate that broader stereo image seamlessly into my listening space, with sound floating beautifully around the room”.
“The speakers let the overall musical experience shine through, as opposed to drawing the listener’s attention to a single, hard vocal edge”.
“Sonus faber’s voicing choices for this speaker are well thought out, being more musical than analytical. The Veneres are well balanced for many types of music, including rock, classical and jazz, as opposed to exceling only at one genre. They reproduce vocals wonderfully, bringing them to the front instead of recessing them into the mix. The bottom line is that the price is right and the speakers provide countless hours of listening pleasure”.
“It’s very exciting to experience wonderful products like these, which can fit realistically into many audiophiles’ budgets. It’s hard not to give the Venere 3.0 speakers an enthusiastic recommendation”.
