Sonus Faber Olympica nova 2 VS Sonus Faber Cremona M Loudspeaker vs


I am looking to upgrade my speakers, I am looking at either used Sonus Faber Olympica 2, or if I can find at a good price the Olympica Nova 2, or a used pair of Sonus Faber Cremona M Loudspeaker

I am also looking at the GoldenEar Triton 2 plus, or One R

wondering if anyone has heard these and has an opinion. 

Mostly Hard Rock some Metal, Jazz Rock Fusion, and once and a while Jazz 

 

Thank you

hey Petaluman,

Sandy Gross is not a designer. But his partner in both Definitive Technology and Golden Ear was an excellent one. But Sandy was one of the best audio businees men in audio. He was largely responsible for the initial growth of Polk, then Definitive Technology and finally Golden ear into three of the largest, important speaker companies. They would never be anywhere as important if it wasn't for his management genius.

By the way my friend actually built the first Definitive Technology speakers from a Sandy Grossman idea before Sandy took on his partner who then did the designs. And my friend designed the technique for putting the cloth sock on the definitive speakers without tearing them on the MDF.

I don't know his name. A friend of mine who knew Sandy well would but we lost him a year ago. I do recall he was Canadian I think and was a full partner in both Definitive Technology and Golden Ear. I don't know who the Polk designer was although I know it wasn't Mathew Polk. He was chosen as company 'head' because he looked the part especially in a lab coat.

By the way, no big deal. All 3 companies would never have been anywhere what they were without him. Sandy was brilliant in knowing the market and dealing with retailers and the public.
