Sonus Faber Venere 1.5 Monitor - Piano Black

Venere 1.5 is a 2-way bookshelf speaker characterized, like all models in the Venere range, by the Lyre shaped enclosure used on several Sonus faber models including the flagship Aida. Additionally, the enclosure's unique shape and construction provides a solution to the problem of internal spurious resonances. Additionally, the rear aerodynamic profile prevents a negative reaction with the wall behind the loudspeaker reducing undesired room / speaker interaction. The port is positioned on the front baffle making placement of the 1.5 easy and flexible and also enhances the potential of the drivers, one 6" mid-woofer with a Curv(tm) cone and a 1" tweeter with a fabric dome, generating sound that is fast and detailed, open and dynamic. The sloping front baffle, following the curved lines of the enclosures sides, allows for perfect timing and coherence between the drivers, always ensuring a musically compelling listening experience.

Particular attention was given to the floor stand to optimize the sound quality of the 1.5. Utilizing a tempered glass base with individually adjustable aluminium feet, it conforms to the Venere family design providing fluidity of style and functionality. The cone spike feet allow for the effective de-coupling from the floor, reproducing sound that highly resolved and vivid.  Includes the amazing grills that are perfectly acoustically transparent.
