Sonus faber Venere S
Black/White: € 4.100,00
Walnut: € 4.300,00
Aluminum details
The brushed aluminium around each driver gives a dash of character to the speaker’s front facade.
The glass base found on the other Venere models is replaced by a brushed black aluminium plate with diamond edge to further energize the look of Venere S.
REFLEX PORT
A new design for the reflex port fitted it in the lower part of the cabinet, directly facing the floor. This way the purity of the sound is not contaminated by the spurious vibrations generated by its powerful drivers.
WOOFERS
The three woofers cones of Venere S are made of aluminium, providing for maximum lightness and stiffness of the transducers to achieve a fast response to transients at low frequencies.

The soulution 746+ is the ultimate CD/SACD-Player for music lovers with highest expectations regarding musicality and precision of the music reproduction. The excellent 746 player unit gets combined with an ultimate, much more powerful external power supply and thus forms the 746+ SACD-Player. The anyway outstanding sonic qualities of the 746 player unit get emphasised even further. Much more than just a CD/SACD player it bridges the gap between the digital and the analogue worlds.
Production of this unique SACD-Player is limited to 20 units.
External power supply
The external power supply consists of three separate and electrically isolated sections, all complemented by multi-state filter network which keeps mutual interference across the three to a minimum. Key to any good sounding audio component is a stable and noise-free power supply – especially for the audio stages. For powering the analog stages an innovative, amplifier-like circuit design is used, providing an extremely stable supply voltage with ripple levels below 0.01µV. With more than 500’000 µFarad of storage capacitance it provides almost unlimited impulse current for the analog circuits. Bus bars supply this power throughout the unit without loss. A unique concept in the audio world, this allows the same high quality supply to be delivered to all parts of the 746+.
Power supplies for the digital and drive sections of the player are similarly highly specified and optimised for their respective functions, including accommodating any high current demands from the drive and its electronics.

Wilson Benesch revisits High Performance Furniture.
The Triptych (1993) the world’s first carbon fibre turntable support and the Asside (1998) the worlds first carbon fibre equipment support, furniture that enabled the benefits of carbon fibre to be extended to audio furniture. (See the Timeline) Two decades later and after many years of careful consideration a new interpretation will be launched at this years Munich Show. The R1 is the result of decades of on going scientific research including recent work undertaken at Sheffield Hallams Metrology Department where laser analysis enabled a number of assumptions to be validated.
Key Features:
A precision machined, advanced carbon fibre composite audio equipment rack providing optimal operational conditions for digital and analogue audio components.
Intrinsically self damping Polyoxymethylene vertical columns. Precision machined finish delivers exacting tolerances.
The Carbon Fibre Isobar – an anisotropic super structure that incorporates a high tension internal compression bolt that exerts 14 tons per square inch of axial pressure on the carbon.
The shelf to carbon interface is machined to provide optimal loading of the carbon fibre via off axis pinch point loading at 120 degrees.
The management and control of structural borne vibration is critical in any audio structure. The R1 provides an elegant solution to a number of key concerns through clever engineering that is deceptively simple. The success of this design enables the R1 to be delivered fully assembled in tiers. Once the base tier is accurately referenced to the floor assembly takes a matter of minutes. Each tier is kinematically coupled by four precision ball bearings that are energy transfer nodes. Each of the four ball and sockets incorporate a low profile circumferential ring of visco elastic material that ensures the exact same mass loading at each Node.
The Base Tier provides four, fully adjustable precision machined floor cups that were developed for the Cardinal. Each ball in each of these junctions sees 100 of tons of pressure at the interface ensuring optimal energy transfer to ground.
The R1 is shipped fully assembled as single base and standard levels. the R1 is a modular design allowing any number of additional levels to be added according to the requirements of the system.

Vivid Audio debut a new addition to its Oval Series Family, a limited edition revised OVAL B, the B1 DECADE. At US$28,000, the Decade Edition Oval B1d loudspeakers assume the flagship position in the oval range due to its incredible performance and advanced construction. Currently on display at the Munich High End Show, listeners have been amazed at how the B1d produces sound quite close to one of the company’s GIYA offerings.
Tweeter grilles for OVAL B1 DECADE, a feature available for existing B1 owners late October, 2015.
Vivid Audio’s tweeters are constructed with vapor deposits of aluminum and magnesium alloy. Extremely light-weight, these tweeters are driven by a hugely powerful magnet structure with rare earth metals, making them super-efficient with a remarkable performance at 98dB. Historically however, these tweeters have been finger magnets with foil assembly that are extremely fragile.
In this revision, Vivid Audio’s Loudspeaker Designer, Laurence Dickie, pushed the envelope yet further to introduce new “finger-proof” designed tweeter grilles, offering additional protection without compromising the sonic performance.
Tweeter grilles on the production units are injection molded with slightly tighter tolerances than the prototype introduced in Munich produced by 3D printing.
While this new OVAL B1d looks similar to the existing OVAL B1, there are key differences:
Key differences in the Decade Edition Oval B1d vs the original OVAL B1’s
Features/Benefits
GIYA type vacuum infused quadraxial glass cabinet
Offers reduced mass and increased rigidity
GIYA G4 mass driver motor assemblies
Offers greater shove resulting in fuller tighter bass and better LF definition
New D26 and D50 driver trim rings
Offers better protection to the driver diaphragms
Completely new filter topologies
Yields a more open better defined soundstage
New shaped ports
Matches the new bass loading
New formed baffles front and rear
Offers a modernized appearance and lower diffraction
New full GIYA type magnetically coupling grilles front and rear
Quicker, easier and safer grille on, grille off endeavors
New terminal tray position
Easier access for spade type connectors
C125 driver with magnet segments immediately adjacent to the voice coil
Boosts the mid and high frequency performance
.
There will only be 200 pairs of these extraordinary loudspeakers made, each individually labeled indicating the number in the limited series. The finishes are limited to FERRARI CORSA RED and PIANO BLACK. Full production is expected in October, 2015. Pre orders are currently accepted at your nearest local dealers. Upgrades for tweeter grilles from current OVAL B1 owners should be available with details to be announced in October.
