For those familiar with Sonus Faber


I’m thinking of the Olympic Nova 3 but is the Amati Tradition or Serafino worth waiting for the extra money?

I went a very similar route. Sonetto 8’s to Olympica Nova 3’s. I listened to the Amati Tradition but was worried a little about the size of my room at the time so I traded in the Olympica’s for the Serafino Tradtion. This was 2022. I bought the Serafino’s without listening to them…. May I make a suggestion…? Check out the Maxima Amators if you’re able. After owneing the Serafino’s for about a year and a half, I sold them and started on an exploratory journey and landed on a used pair of Maxima Amators…. Wow…! I think they are more musical and nuanced and detailed than the Amatis or Serafino’s. Really lovely bass and the mids are phenomenal. Amazing soundstage and depth with just the perfect amount of siblance. 
 

My electronics have a great synergy with these speakers as well. (Audio Research pre-amp and amp)

 

for less money I think these are a better speaker to be honest.
