For those familiar with Sonus Faber

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.

Thanks to all.

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.

Yes! Yes!! 

I went a very similar route. Sonetto 8’s to Olympica Nova 3’s. I listened to the Amati Tradition but was worried a little about the size of my room at the time so I traded in the Olympica’s for the Serafino Tradtion. This was 2022. I bought the Serafino’s without listening to them…. May I make a suggestion…? Check out the Maxima Amators if you’re able. After owneing the Serafino’s for about a year and a half, I sold them and started on an exploratory journey and landed on a used pair of Maxima Amators…. Wow…! I think they are more musical and nuanced and detailed than the Amatis or Serafino’s. Really lovely bass and the mids are phenomenal. Amazing soundstage and depth with just the perfect amount of siblance. 
 

My electronics have a great synergy with these speakers as well. (Audio Research pre-amp and amp)

for less money I think these are a better speaker to be honest.
