Upgrading Speakers

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 ever made a bad speaker ???  

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

About 2 years ago I decided to buy new speakers and I listened to so many it drove me nuts. I had heard the Olympica III and did like them. Then at the last Rocky Mountain Audio Fest, Sonus Faber did the world debut of the Olympica Nova series. I was disappointed as the person running the demonstration was either deaf or was testing to see if he could blow them up. The volume was painful. So when they started showing up in the local dealer showroom, I listened again and thought wow these are fantastic. But they were beyond my budget so I wrote them off although I stopped in and give them a listen each time I was there. Then the last day I told myself that I need to make a decision. I had narrowed it down to a few speakers and then I just couldn’t bring myself to commit. I found myself back in the room and finally told the salesman that even though they are above my pay grade, make me a deal. And he did and I have never regretted my decision to spend more. If you have been happy with the Sonetto (Also on my short list at the end) you will love the Nova III’s

good luck and happy listening

I think you'd be happy with the upgrade.

I have owned Moon amps (M400s versus 330As) and upgraded from Sonetto Vs to Olympica Nova Vs...the deal was too good to pass up and the IIIs are excellent speakers.

I think you'll notice a difference in details especially during dynamic peaks of the music.

Good luck in your journey!
