For those familiar with Sonus Faber


I’m thinking of the Olympic Nova 3 but is the Amati Tradition or Serafino worth waiting for the extra money?

Yes… well, depends on the time frame. Dealers will often make you a deal to give you full trade in value on a speaker that is double the cost for a few years. If you are going to be able to afford the Amati in two or three years… then talk to your dealer. I would rather a few years with the Olympica instead of waiting. The Olympica are outstanding speakers… similar sounding to the Amati… just not as.

 

Sonus Faber are unique sounding speakers, exceptionally natural and musical… a sound I wanted in my system as soon as possible.

 

I owned Cremona, then Olympica 3 for nearly 10 years and now Amati. Each a great upgrade with the same basic sound.

Serafino is a great speaker, a big step up from the Nova 3. I have not heard the Amati as it is out of my price range but I can only dream.
