@kofibaffour Your description of the SF sound left me scratching my head. If anything, I find the sound a little too rolled off and forgiving. I owned Olympica II and then III. Both driven by Audio Research integrated amps -- GSi75 and VSi75. We all hear differently and have our preferences, but this combo left a lot to be desired. Ultimately, I decided that the SF sound was not for me but quite obviously the company is doing something right, otherwise, it wouldn't have lasted this long as a premiere speaker brand. They make beautifully sculpted cabinets with fine Italian leather.
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.
