Upgrading Speakers


Does it make sense to upgrade my speakers to Sonus Faber Olympica Nova III from the Sonus Faber Sonetto V. connected to Moon 390 and Moon 330A respectively. I love the Sonus Faber sound so I want to stay with the brand but when I consider the price point of the Nova !! relative to the Moon amplification I'm not sure.Also love the Moons.

Could be your last speaker.  I'm listening to a 20 something year old pair of Concerto and they still sound pretty good

My Dad just picked up a pair of Electa Amator III.   Incredible speaker.   The fit and finish is off the chart.   The sound ????    You probably have an idea if you are looking at the Nova.  I really like SF ...   Have they ever made a bad speaker ???  

 

Absolutely, I would do it. I moved from Cremona to Olympica iii… huge improvement in all aspects of sound. I think I had those for about seven years before upgrading again to Amati Traditional.

 

I am a huge Sonus Faber fan since I first purchased the used Cremona as a test. Incredibly natural sound, detailed but not remotely etched… if I ever buy another set of speakers it will be the Sonus Faber Lilium.

 

The Moon products will get the job done. You will get a huge improvement in sound quality with the speakers and be in a great position to upgrade your preamp / streamer / DAC at some later date.

The Olympica are capable of supporting your electronics and much better equipment as well.

A couple years ago I was going to comparing the Sonetto line with a different company’s speaker. I liked the Sonetto better. Then they had me listen to to Olympica Nova II which they had just received as a loaner from the distributor. That was a noticeable upgrade and I immediately ordered the Nova III. A lot more money but well worth it.
