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.

When you decide to upgrade your electronics, I’d suggest you consider Ayre components.  In my experience they pair beautifully with SF speakers.  Over the past 12 years, I have used Ayre gear with Guarneri Mementos, Amati Anniversario, Guarneri Evolution & Il Cremonese.  I particularly enjoy the resolution of the pairing at low volume settings.

There's a pair of Amati Futuras going for 16 on AG in Chicago from a store that's reputable.
