    If they are anywhere near the “S’s” they are great...

    I’ve been very happy with my Venere S speakers.

    I had them for a couple of years and enjoyed my time with them. If buying new I can think of a couple of speakers that would better them for a little lower money or equal but don't have the visual appeal.

    Say compared to PSB Gold Vandersteen 2Ce sig and 2CE, Thiel CS 2 Energy 1.8? I can get a pair for under four digits but have Mirage ON 5s which are pretty good.

    Are you saying you can get the Venere 3.0’s for under a grand and you haven’t grabbed them yet?!

    For no particular reason, can you PM me the info on this deal?

    Does not matter what they cost if I do not like the sound. I have also heard it mentioned that they are very technicolor and forward. A bit much. Going to listen at the location means almost nothing as different room cables and gear can make a huge difference.

    True, but for that price you should be able to flip them quite easily if they don’t float your boat.
