Sonas Faber OLYMPICA versions
I have a Hegel 190 with Blue Node 2 (using the Hegal DAC) using Sonus Faber Concerto & Rel sub for speakers. This creates a lovely sound in my 17x20 ft room with vaulted ceilings, but I'm ready to upgrade for a little more mid range and sound stage. Seems Olympica 2's might be a good choice, but I'm a little confused, seems not all Olympicas are the same, there are several releases over the years. Are some versions higher quality or generally better sounding then others?
I am not an audiophile, and most of the music I play is old blues and rock, but I do enjoy hearing it in it's best possible form.
Thanks
Ben
I'd love to have Sonus Faber Amati Traditional but a) can't afford them and b) be a crime to drive them with my Hegel 190. Which is why I hesitate to go down the upgrade rabbit hole. My crib as a child was generally located under HAM radio tube gear. If I went down that path, I'd need a different house. to accommodate the upgrades ... thanks for the response ... Ben

Big difference in price, I wonder how much difference in sound?

Note that the iii are the latest version Nova and the ii are not. I auditioned the Nova ii and iii. Same basic house sound but the iii’s are much fuller and go deeper. Both are very nice speakers but I think the iii’s would probably be better for your room size. You’d probably be very happy with the ii’s unless of course you listened to the iii’s. |
