Sonus Faber Olympica 3 or Olympica Nova 2 ?

Hi music lovers and audiofiles, I am trying to upgrade my speakers from Sonus Faber Grand Piano to Olympica 3 or Olympica Nova 2. Because of the situation with Covit-19 I can’t audition them in stores right now. The dealer in Massachusetts who used to sell them just dropped Sonus Faber. It is very hard for me to find a place where I can go and listen to both at the same time. Olympica 3 is discontinued and some dealers don’t have them any more. The other reason I try to compare those two speakers is the price. You can get each for $7500 if you are lucky. Please help me to solve the dilemma I have right now. I don’t want to make a mistake and buy wrong ones. My new towers are going to be my last ones, I am getting older and sooner than later I will start to lose hearing.
Thanks, janosik

Thanks mgrif104 for your response. My room size is small 13x12.The speakers will have to be rather closer to the corners.
My music preference  is classical, jazz and vocals.  I called a couple 
of dealers and they admitted that O. Nova2 is very close with music performance to OIII. It is supposed to be more dynamic with close base. That is why I would prefer to get opinion from people like us.
I don’t trust sometimes reviewers and dealers. They are mostly after profit.

Best,

Hi guys,
today was a nice day in south east Mas. I called a few people (I mean dealers) and I have gotten a quote for O Nova 2 for $7500,
not bed. Somebody suggested to check Tannoy, Fine. I don’t see these dealers in my area. Shipping staff beck in case I don’t like it can be expensive. I will stick with SF. Hi jafox, your post is very knowledgeable. I have a chance to move the speakers to bigger rooms 20x15. My amp is Yamaha as3000, it can dip down to 4 ohms.
Thank again guys, I will tell you what my choice is going to be.
Best.
