Pimp my speakers: Sonus Faber vs. Focal

I’ve narrowed down to the Sonus Faber Olympica 3 vs. Focal Kanta 3. Source is McIntosh 8900 integrated amp. I’ve heard the Focals and loved the seamless soundstage and precision. Going to hear the Olympicas this Friday. These would go in our main den (~300 sqft) for listening to jazz, rock, and country.  Thoughts?

Well, I just put my 50% down on my order.  Got the Sonus Faber Olympica Nova 5s and a new Roon Nucleus + server.  Can’t wait until they get in!

That will be a great purchase for a longtime, enjoy. 
I might have gone that roughy if I was not worried about the kiddos and what they call “grills”.

Congrats on the Nova 5's!  Thanks for the thread, as I'm also currently going between Focal and Sonus Faber.  I'm interested in Sonetto VIII, but you cannot find nice used sets and the list price is $7k.  For that much money or less, you can find nice used sets of Kanta 2!
