Fyne 703 vs Sonus Faber Olympia Nova V

I've narrowed my shortlist for a speaker upgrade down to these two models and was wondering if anyone had any feedback on either one. Not looking for alternative suggestions. 

I primarily listen to Jazz (but occasionally some other things from various other genres, but I'd sacrifice on the other stuff if the Jazz is sublime. 

The SFs seem like they would be a bit easier to drive and more tube friendly, but from feedback I've received on other threads, the Fynes seem to work with tubes pretty nicely as well.

SF wasn't even really on my radar since I always equated them with wildly expensive speakers, but I've only ever heard/seen their higher end offerings. Fantastic, but I'd expect anything with a price tag $30,000+ to sound great when paired up correctly.

Get a Modwright hybrid integrated amp it has 225W into 4 and 400 into 8 but still has a tube buffer in the preamp. It is also under 10k!

tube amps you need big money to get good ones that make modern power.

I mean think about it you are using box speakers you’re not using horns get out of the tube amplifier fantasy unless you’re spending big 100-200k money for VAC monoblocks or switch to horns.
