Sonus Faber Olympica nova 2 VS Sonus Faber Cremona M Loudspeaker vs


I am looking to upgrade my speakers, I am looking at either used Sonus Faber Olympica 2, or if I can find at a good price the Olympica Nova 2, or a used pair of Sonus Faber Cremona M Loudspeaker

I am also looking at the GoldenEar Triton 2 plus, or One R

wondering if anyone has heard these and has an opinion. 

Mostly Hard Rock some Metal, Jazz Rock Fusion, and once and a while Jazz 

 

Thank you

I used to own a set of Cremona M, Olympica 3, and now own Sonus Faber Amati Tradional. The Cremona M are very warm… I think most folks would say with a soft top end. The Olympica ushered in a more neutral balanced but still incredibly natural and musical speakers.

Given your musical tastes I would think you would be looking at B&W powered by McIntosh. Massive bass with a hot top end… or maybe JBL.

Don’t get me wrong… I think Sonus Faber are very close to the best speakers made… but for that kind of music folks that like the music you do generally want massive bass and power. Like floor standers with subwoofers. I listen to hard rock  and some other “intended to be loud” genre and they sound fantastic on my Sonus Faber speakers. But this is not the normal match. I listen to all kinds of music and SF makes them all sound great without accentuating a couple genre.

 

It would be really helpful too,see your system and components. There is a place to put photos and your components under your UserID. We could be much more helpful if we understood what you have and the venue. Thanks.

I have the Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum 3 vacuum tube amp, and both a Clearaudio Champion Limited turntable, and the new Denon DCDA110GS 110-Year Anniversary Edition SACD Player Amazing player. 

I don't know if I should tell you how I listen to them, you'll laugh at me,  ha ha 

My favorite is the Legacy Audio speakers, I have in my surround sound Krell Seperates, the Legacy Focus speakers, and center, and Miracle Audio flat wall hanging speakers for my rears. 

I wanted to get the Signature SE speakers, but looking at others right now.
