I think the Sereifino will work well in your space. I have had Olympica 3 and now Amati and have heard the Serfino as well as Lilium. I think you will be very pleased with the improved bass and resolution. I definitely recommend you go for it.
Will Sonus Faber Serafino G2 be too much speaker for my space?
Hello Audiogonners. I am a lover of Sonus Faber speakers and currently have Olympica Nova III. I have an opportunity to purchase a mint pair of Serafino G2's locally for a good price. Based on my experience listening, and all the comparisons between the two models, I am convinced the S2's are a better more engaging speaker, with better bass and more resolution up top. I don't want to afford the next level Amati's.
My only concern is the Serafino might be too much speaker for my space. I don't have the ability to try them in my space before buying. I've included my system with a photo of my space in my profile. It is 14'x20' with 9' ceiling. I have no room treatments except the WAF variety (carpets, drapes, upholstery) and it has to stay that way. The Olympica's sound fine and do not overpower the space. Do you think the Serafino's will be too much? Anyone with experience with the Serafino in a space approximately of this size? I've read all the reviews I can find and cannot find an answer to this question. Thanks in advance for your help.

Speaker Size vs Room Size see here! Mike |
All, thanks for your helpful insights.
ditusa: thanks for the link. It was interesting but I’m not sure I fully understand. He starts out that a speaker cannot “overpower” a room. You simply turn the volume down. However to properly set and manage your low end sweet spot, speaker size comes into play and there are room/speaker size limitations. But since the Serafino seems to be similar in size and scale to the Olympicos, it sounds like I should be fine. only one way to find out for sure…. |
