Unless the speakers are right against the walls, which isn't ideal, your listening position at 14' away is too far. Measure how far apart the speakers are from tweeter to tweeter then multiply that by 128% and use that for a starting position for your listening distance. With your front wall being 14' your speakers probably should be no more than 8.5' apart which would make your listening position something like 11' or less away from the tweeters. I hope that you have the ability to nuance the listening position distance. If not can you move the speakers further into the room?
Sonus Faber Question
I spent (wasted?) a lot of time switching amplifiers in and out of my system, never quite achieving the sound I was chasing. There were a lot of sideways moves. Then I purchased a demo pair of Sonus Faber Sonetto III's. After playing these through my system I finally feel I'm headed in the right direction. This speaker sound signature is the type of sound I've been seeking out. However, I get the feeling these speakers are really just scratching the surface of what Sonus Faber can offer. Unfortunately, I'm not independently wealthy. So the question is what speaker would you recommend as the next appreciable step up to capture more of the Sonus Faber essence / what should I expect to have to pay on the used market to get there? Thanks in advance!
