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.

Have they made a natural sound speaker? No. Now natural sound speakers are coming up from here and there. The speaker buyers should consider an unnatural sound is the right choice at this moment. Alex/Wavetouch
