SF Serafino vs SF Elipsa SE

Any opinions on these 2?  They are about the same price in the used market now.
I've got plenty of power (350W) to drive either.  They would go into a 13x15 room that sucks (open on 1 side wall).  Right now I have WIlson Duettes.  My understanding is the Elipsa's are good in almost all rooms and easy to setup.  I don't know about the Serafinos.
I listen primarily to vocalists, jazz and soft rock (James Taylor, Eagles, etc.)

Thanks.

OP, 

Used HiFi market is tough right now and this holds true for everything across the board...cables, electronics and speakers.

You can get a used mint pair of Serafino’s for $13500 (listed here on Audiogon). 

I have recently auditioned the Amati’s (very similar to Serafino’s) and they were quite impressive. Plenty of bass, nice extended high’s but tab bit reserved on the mid-range.  

I still prefer my B&W 800D2 over Amati’s so I decided not to pursue them.
