I'm curious if anyone has experience with the new driverack Venu 360? It's been out for almost a year and I haven't seen any real reviews on it. I'm considering buying a pair for my smaller system, and I'd rather have 2 for scalability rather than forking out a few thousand for a higher end one.

I won't be able to provide very deep data, as I haven't yet been able to thrash mine in the real world.
The VENU 360 is more "modern" than the 260 in every way. Setup is easier. Wizards work faster. More available delay, etc.. There's no shortage of DBX-snubbers, but I like my 360.

I am happy with my 360! Plenty of filters, limiters limit, clarity is great with aes at 96k! Wireless app works good! It flat out works! Why pay four times the money to get a different name on the box!

I am in the process of upgrading my system with Venu360's, six in all.
I bought one first to try it out before making the plunge.
They sound good, easy to program, I did most of it wireless with my Android tablet, the app works good.
In a test I beat on the inputs hard and it did not up and puke till I got really crazy. The three by six routing
is perfect for a subs on aux preset.
Inside they have very clean lay, separate switching power supply, not part of the main processing board.
On the main board it was kind of interesting to see that some of chips next to the ADA converters are mounted close to
the converters and at a 45 degree angle. I figure it's either to make for the shortest point to point path between them
or at the 45 degree angle it nulls out some interference between the two, or maybe it's for both reasons.
With setting the driver offset delays, a couple quick EQ notches on the band pass output PEQ's and using steeper crossover slopes my various systems sounded better than ever.
I want to add that I did find with the limiters in the "Peak Stop" mode you could get a clicking sound when hitting the limit threshold and the overshoot setting set in the lower range.
