Sonas Faber OLYMPICA versions


I have a Hegel 190 with Blue Node 2 (using the Hegal DAC) using Sonus Faber Concerto & Rel sub for speakers. This creates a lovely sound in my 17x20 ft room with vaulted ceilings, but I'm ready to upgrade for a little more mid range and sound stage. Seems Olympica 2's might be a good choice, but I'm a little confused, seems not all Olympicas are the same, there are several releases over the years. Are some versions higher quality or generally better sounding then others?

I am not an audiophile, and most of the music I play is old blues and rock, but I do enjoy hearing it in it's best possible form.

Thanks

Ben

Note that the iii are the latest version Nova and the ii are not. I auditioned the Nova ii and iii.  Same basic house sound but the iii’s are much fuller and go deeper.  Both are very nice speakers but I think the iii’s would probably be better for your room size.  You’d probably be very happy with the ii’s unless of course you listened to the iii’s.
