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.

Thanks for all the advice - really appreciate. I worry about the bass becoming overwhelming in the apartment. I had a pair of Sonetto G2 VIII in our previous 19.6 feet x 19.6 ft apartment living room with single volume regular height ceilings - and the bass completely overwhelmed the room. 

Would the nova V be a risk or is the Sonetto g2 tuned much deeper than the nova?

Ps. I’m using a Luxman 509z
