Sonus Faber Venere 1.5 The Venere 1.5 is a two-way, front-vented, biwirable bookshelf speaker measuring 15.4″ H by 8″ W by 11.7″ D and weighing 13.2 lbs. It uses a 1.25″ silk-dome tweeter with a conical waveguide and a 6″ Curv-cone mid/woofer. Like the larger Venere 2.5, the 1.5 has a beautifully finished, internally braced cabinet whose sidewalls curve around to meet a very narrow rear panel just wide enough to accommodate a staggered array of four multiway terminals. Though it lacked high-frequency sparkle and exhibited a slightly elevated upper bass, the Venere 1.5 produced a natural, dynamic, and involving overall sound, with a detailed midrange and delicate highs, said BJR. Price is for black or white high-gloss lacquer finish. Borderline Class B overall. Durob Audio was the exclusive distributor for Audio Research in the Benelux.
