Sonus Faber Nove II or III

Be aware that Sonus Faber is doing a revision on the Sonetto line and there aren't any more available. So, be cautious about the trade-in value being offered. You might do better selling on your own; assuming you kept the original boxes and packing materials. 

Nova V is $18k MSRP FR is 32Hz- 35K Hz

Nova III is $15k MSRP is the same. Both are 90db Sure, you're getting 1 addt'l driver on the V 

I have found with SF the higher up the hierarchy the greater the depth and fullness of the sound and the lower the volume required to be satisfying. I would say the speakers you contemplate would be a very significant upgrade and would make you very happy. The Nova III are stunning performers.

I owned Olympica 3 for many years and have auditioned the Nova 3 repeatedly. These would take you out of the speaker market for a very very long time. If you get hit with upgrade -itis, you would be able to upgrade your components additional gains for a long time.

@stanleylocke the dealer is offering w nearly year old Sonetto's the Nova II for $7,700 and III for $11,200. Unfortunately,  I don't have the boxes so shipping wouldn't be easy to sell for max profit unless locally. I wish Sonus Faber had a trade up program like Moon  Full price within the first year and 75% in the second year. 

@ghdprentice I know w three III I wouldn't have any questions left like w the II. I feel for my space the II may be the better fit because they won't breathe much.  That said,  the III will have everything I'll ever want down the road. 

Primetime74, I guess that’s your call on the 2 or 3 but I think the old “better to have it and not need, than need it and not have it” but it usually comes down to the budget which why I don’t have the 5s although I haven’t missed them.

@theo No doubt budget is a factor.   While I have the money I'm torn because I bought new speakers,  amp, streamer,  and cables last year! If business stays stable I'll likely buy one or the other.
