Sonus Faber Amati Trads or Serafinos + Gravis Vi?

I am considering upgrading my speakers from Harbeth SHL5+XD to either the a pair of Amati Traditions or a pair of Serafinos with a Gravis VI sub. Each combo comes out to about the same price (with one Gravis VI sub). Room is 28’x16’x8’. Gear is Mac C2700/MC611s/Esoteric N-01XD. Just for two channel music. Mostly classic rock, vintage country, classical, rhythm and blues.

Any thoughts on which combo? I can audition the Amati Traditions and Serafinos, but not likely with the Gravis Vi sub. Could demo with a JL or a ML Balanced Force. Does anyone know if the SF Gravis subs are truly matched to the SF speakers? Or would it be better (other than for looks) to go with a JL or ML Balanced Force sub?  And is there an advantage with a dual driver design like the SF Gravis VI and ML BF vs a single driver design like a JL and REL?

Wow a dealer for Legacy is the first to pound on the Sf selections by the OP. 
Hey audiotroy how’s many actual sales do you make of this forum?

Betting not many.

Tacky tactics my man.

Now to the original question, do you have a Sf dealer that will let you demo in your home?

I would try to demo them both. All Sf speakers are wonderful and can go with about any amplification.
