Olympica Nova III or V?


Hi there everyone,

I have an option to buy either the Sonus Faber Olympica Nova III or Nova V. We have a 19.6’ by 22.9’ living area (6mx7m). Ceiling is sloaping, loft-style 1 1/2 volume. I love the Nova but I don’t have the opportunity to demo these in the space unfortunately. I’m also limited in how far forward from the walls I can place them. 
 

Do I go III and risk it sounding thin, or V and risk being overwhelming for room?

 

Which would you recommend if it were your decision? Any advice would be welcome! 

 

any comments or feedback would be great.

I've extensively listened to both speakers.  With your large size room I would lean towards the Vs.  Regardless of which speakers you choose the closeness to the front wall could be an issue.  If this causes the speakers to bloat or boom you might find that bass traps will help tremendously.  Good luck and cheers.
