Perhaps this should be a separate thread, but you are hitting a nerve with where I currently am at.
We have the Mcintosh C2700 / Mcintosh MC462 pre-amp/amp set.
The question is what to upgrade the front channels to: the Sonus Faber Olympica Nova Vs, the Serafina Traditions or the Amati Traditions?
I have heard the Olympica Nova side-by-side with the Amati Traditions but only for quick listens, and I know that there is no substitute for hearing for yourself. But I wanted some opinions of you experts, here, to get "more ears" on the situation.
There are one or two editorials out there that give a disappointing review to the Amatis specifically and the Tradition line in general, indicating that there is not enough of a difference on any level between the Olympica Novas.
I was nursing an emotional attachment to the Amatis, to be honest. But that disappointed reviewer really cause me concern. Are the prices of the Tradition line justified from what you get in the Olympic Nova line?
