Shopping for new speakers


I have a classe fifteen amp and a coda amp 10. I also have the Parasound 2000 line stage preamp and the Parasound 2000 top load cd player and matching DAC.  I have been looking at sonus faber venere 2.5 Is this a good match, or is there better out there for about 3000 range?

One that comes to mind are the Spatial Audio M3 or M4. From what I remember with my very short time with both, they have more of a natural warmth than a manufactured warmth. The detail, soundstage, and dynamics are better with the Spatials.

Another, if you'd like to look at monitors, is the Clearwave Duet 6. It has a seamless crossover and speaks like a point source, single driver with outstanding bass reach.

You're going to get a lot of recommendations but in the end, try your best to audition.

All the best,
Nonoise




The SF Venere 2.5's are certainly a good match as far as your amps being able to drive them are concerned.  You would have no problems.

Whether they are a good match for your ears is another matter.  So have you heard them and like them?  If you haven't, I agree with Nonoise.  Your going to get a lot of suggestions and and make every effort to audition to find the right speaker for you.
I dont have a dealer here in memphis that deals sonus faber so i am going to drive to nashville to audition them this weekend. I am really looking for a speaker that that does well with my equipment but is wife friendly as well. I was told that the B&W match very well with classe equipment but a little outside my budget
If you like B&W, you would probably like Vandersteen's, and your amps would certainly be able to drive a pair of 3a sigs which are well below $3K used.
