Venere 2.5

About the Venere 2.5

The Sonus Faber Venere 2.5 is a 2.5-way reflex-loaded floor-standing loudspeaker with a lyre-shaped cabinet that balances driver housing and front baffle for improved timing and sound clarity. It features a 1-1/8 inch silk soft dome tweeter made by German manufacturer DKM for smooth, detailed high frequencies, and two 7-inch thermo-molded polypropylene textile Curv cone drivers (one mid-woofer and one woofer) for enhanced stiffness, reduced mass, and dynamic midrange and bass performance. The cabinet is curved to increase rigidity and reduce internal standing waves, finished in options including Gloss Black, Walnut, and Gloss White. It has a bass-reflex ported design, high-quality crossovers, and dual heavy-duty binding post terminals with bi-amp/bi-wire capability. Dimensions are approximately 43.6 inches high, 13.4 inches wide, and 17.2 inches deep, weighing about 43 pounds each. Recommended amplifier power is 40 to 250 watts, with a nominal impedance of 6 ohms and sensitivity of 89 dB. The speaker is praised for its vivid, engaging sound and ability to 'disappear' in the listening environment, making it suitable for both music and home theater use. It comes with a 5-year warranty and includes grille, plinth, adjustable feet, and owner's manual.
