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.

What's the most musical sounding SF floor standers under 12K?....Medium sized room...

I would say they are equally musical, but perform better at the highest level.. So, at that price level… Olympica Nova 3

Thanks ghdprentice.......I have Borresen X3's that I love with my Aavik U-150 integrated,.  but I've always been intrigued with all the positive reviews that the Audiogon community has for SF,,,I'll never sell the X3's but may just pick up a pair of those Olympica Nova 3's.

If you have the budget, why not?   Looking for group justification?  OK speakers are always the weakest link, so go for it. 😁

I too find the SF speakers to be very well behaved and best I have heard on the shelf in the last year. For some reason, the Sonetto line is not in stores here. Lumina and then the big ones. I would love to hear them as the Lumina IIs need to stay at moderate levels.
