Sonus faber choices - help me decide


New Olympica Nova II or used Amati Futura? The Futuras will be $5,000 more, but they retailed for $38,000 when new vs $10,000 for the Novas. 

My 16’x24’ room is treated with GIK panels. I sit 9’ away from my B&W CDM 9NT towers now. I also have dual SVS PC2000 Pro subs.

Sources are mostly Tidal from a Node 2i through a DACMAGIC 200m.  I’m using a Denon x3700h as a preamp in a 7.2.4 configuration, with the LCR+surrounds driven by a Rotel 5x200 amp.

Congratulations. I found once I purchased Sonic Fabre speakers… there was no going anywhere else. I have owned Cremona, Olympica 3, and now Amati. Each step up is simply amazing. 
 

I think the Futura fit your room size better. But, you should be really happy with either. This may give you some funds to upgrade your electronics. The ship SF by ship. My dealer was able to reserve ones that were still on a ship… I actually got the last set of Amati violin red… this was a couple years ago.

 

I would be interested in hearing why your dealer discouraged the Futura. There has been a small change in tonal balance in the last few years… but I am surprised that would be a reason.
