Product Review (submitted on January 5, 2023):

My Findings from comparing My Fluance signature series tower speakers vs the Sonus Faber Venere S. This was a little while back when my local hifi store was closing out the venere s for 2k off msrp, i was very interested and he allowed me to bring in my speakers for a comparison.
First and foremost I'm a big Sonus Faber Fan, it's likley my favorite speaker brand.
Very Interesting findings, They both have very different sound signatures. Both Speakers were connected to the MAC gear in the photos The Signatures have a more livley sound for sure. This really stood out to me when listening to rock music. Which I perfered on the sigs, they simply sounded more dynamic. That said when listening to Jazz, classical and Rythm and blues, The Venere S sounded a bit more seductive, symbol clashes and even the piano attack stood out slighty more and overall the S offered better bass perfomance top to bottom, Both speakers threw out big sound stages and were comparable in that category. Later we added a rel t-7 sub to the mix and the bass performance gab was closed quite a bit between the two. That said in reality it was not much of a performance difference between the two performance wise. I took my time a repeated some tracks back 2 and 3 times and overall i decided it was not worth upgrading. I was interested in the Venere S because
they were being sold for 2000 off msrp and i was gonna grab some other discontinued mac gear along with them also.
But after my listening comparison i decided to past.
Interesting that it's not much of a difference between a 800 internet direct speaker vs a 5500 dollar retail speaker.
