Sonus Faber speakers


Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend.

Has anyone owned the Sonetto v and the Olympica iii and can offer their opinion on 
weather the latter is a worthwhile upgrade ?

@mogelsvs I run Olympica 2 with Pass INT-25. It have plenty of power and never run out of steam. Pass Labs - Sonus Faber is the best combination I've ever heard. I've previously owned McIntosh and ARC

@celestial__sound  Thanks for the note and insight.  I had more or less written off the xa25, but may have to give it a try.  

Cheers, Soren

In practical terms, one great advantage of the Sonettos is their down-firing bass port, which makes positioning in a smaller room wonderfully easy. I have mine less than two feet from the rear wall and find they "sing" quite superbly without any fuzziness or over-loading in the bass department.

I have no doubt that the Olympica Novas probably sound even better, but I'm actually happy to forgo that advance for the convenience of being able to move my prodigious bulk around my living room without mishap.
