Anyone go from Sonus Faber Sonetto III to Olympica Nova II?

These two models are similar in size, though the Sonetto III has an additional woofer. Wondering if I'd lose bass performance if I moved up to an Olympica Nova II. Unfortunately I don't have room for a Nova III. Not interested in adding a subwoofer.

I went from Sonetto 8’s to Olympica Nova 3’s…. Lovely upgrade…! Better soundstage and mids… Tighter more detailed bass…!

I would guess you will not lose bass. The drivers in the Olympica are probably a lot better. The Driver motor has a lot to do with bass output as does the box size.

The additional woofer will either aid in efficiency, play louder or go deeper. The website specs should tell you which.
