Too all the negative reviewers: take the cotton out of your ears! This is the best under $35,000 speaker I have ever heard, and I have heard a lot, including at audio shows. In fact, I liked them so much I sold my JM Labs/Focal Alto Be's to buy the Venture CR-8 Signatures. I hve them now for 6 years and love them. Great bass, silky highs and very transparent mids. These speakers are great.

Every audio show I go to, like the Rocky Mountain audio Fest, the best in show has been Venture Speakers. I liked them so much I bought a pair of CR-8 Signatures. The best speakers I have ever owned.

price VS natural sound quality

I read Mario Hidayat's review, and I found it very funny. He said that he's just a casual listener, but he can give some comments for Venture. How come such a casual listener ( so he's not experienced ) can give comment like that. Has he known already about Dolby system processor and DTS 7.1 processor ? How can he say that 2 front speakers can replace the home thearte system ? It makes me lough reading that comment. So in my opinion it's not wise that a casual listener only can give a such review.

I'm a home hi-fi serious listener and a diamond collector. I read Edo's review and I want to put review for it. In my opinion there are no relation between audio and diamond. So if you want to buy audio just go ahead, but if you want to buy diamond you can find me.

Refer to Mario comments. You said that you are only casual listener, how you can put comments like that. It makes me feel doubtful, because as far as I know home hi-fi is not as that easy. So I think it is not suitable for unexperienced person ( ordinary / casual listener like you ) to put comments. And about home theatre, do you know about dolby digital processor & DTS 7.1 processor ? As far as I know it needs more than 2 channels. How can 2 front speakers can replace those system ? So I can conclude that your knowledge about home hi-fi & home theatre is very limited, therefore do not put comments if you do not know.

the purity of sounds, incredebly focus, the articulation of the vocal.

the availability of the products. Hard to find. Pre order directly to the distributor or factory.

personally i'm not an audio enthusiast, i'm just a casual listener. But since the first time i listened to the demo in the showrom which i luckily found in Indonesia I knew that these products are more than state of the art. Even for a casual listener like me could tell the differences between Venture products and ordinary speakers.
The prices really shocked me, but it is nothing compare to the perfection of the sound which you will never find anywhere else. The shape of the speakers are little bit unique. Its height is about 1.5 meter and 0.5 meter in width.
one thing that surprised me, there were only two front speakers for the whole home theater system. Unlike in every audio showroom i visited, there are usually minimum of five speakers which consist one center, two front speakers, and two rear speakers. First time i saw those two Venture speakers, i don't think they could replace the rest of the speakers, but i was absolutely wrong. The sound, the effect, the focus, and the articulation of the vocal were even better tham any five speakers i've ever found.
My home theater uses B&W and i used to like them vey much, now they sounds like trash after i listened to Venture.
it's really hard to describe the whole thing about Venture, you got to listen for yourself to trust it.

ps: Venture speakers are Belgium made, and they do not distribute widely. There are only 3 distributors in the world. Hong Kong, Indonesia, and California. Even if you had a chance to visit the showroom, they don't have the products available or ready to take home. They will pre-order directly to the factory in Belgium.

focused imaging, micro details of the music, best vocal i heard so far

hard to find, very expensive

i heard the new venture speaker which use all ceramic driver and a diamond cone tweeter. the model is their Grand Excelence. the amp, pre, cables they use on the showroom is all venture product.they are awesome, can't find any word to describe my experience, so i agree with Mario that you got to listen for yourself to believe. unfortunately, it's very hard to find distributor or any shop that sell this speaker.lumibrite use the same driver, but i prefer venture (if i got the money to buy one), as this venture have more focused, and better vocal(heard the lumibrite at CES show, las vegas)also the shape and the finishing of this speaker is state-of-the-art. as i mentioned before, those who has the budget and really want to achieve best sound should consider this speaker in their list.
