The Venere S is a three-way floorstanding loudspeaker, entirely designed and assembled by hand in Arcugnano, Italy. It features three custom 180mm aluminum cone woofers for fast, powerful bass; a single 150mm Curv (thermoformed polypropylene fiber) midrange driver for natural midrange reproduction; and a 29mm silk dome tweeter manufactured by Dr. Kurt Mueller, mechanically decoupled to minimize vibration interference. The crossover uses high-end components and a semi-balanced, progressive-slope design for optimal time domain performance. The cabinet is inspired by the shape of a lyre to minimize internal reflections and features a bottom-mounted reflex port for cleaner bass. The Venere S is noted for its high sensitivity, easy drivability, and refined, musical presentation that emphasizes enjoyment over analytical detail.
