@jdoris The Venture Grand Ultimate is now up to MKIV. I listened to a previous iteration at a show; the best speakers I have ever heard. Amazing. (Their entry level model, in the high 30’s when I heard it, was lovely too.)
Of course, Venture is far too refined to list MSRP in their website, but I imagine it is well into 6 figures.
They are tremendous and quite delicious. I do note that they are 4 ohm. I have been known to regret noting such things, but so be it.
Edit - and now I checked out Ultimate Reference. Why not.
