Hans Wetzel has posted a review of the Sonus Faber Venere S loudspeakers ($4999/pair) at SoundStage! Access. His conclusions:
“With its stunning profile and attractive optional Wood finish, this shouldn’t surprise. What surprised me was that the Venere S allied that visual beauty with an involvingly vibrant and neutral sound, while offering thoroughly satisfying bass response down to about 35Hz. That makes a loudspeaker handmade by artisans in Sonus Faber’s workshop in Arcugnano, Italy, a bargain at $4999/pair.”
