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.

Seems like the Rack/Stereo would be better if you switched it to the other side. Put the chair in front of those doors then the rack wouldn't be in front of the speaker.

I have the Serafino G2 in a 16'x17' room with 8.5 foot ceiling (acoustic tiles).   The room is carpeted. Sounds great. Amazing really!

The Amatis would potentially overwhelm the room.

The Serafinos will be a great choice.  I do recommend also having a pair of subs as the base extension is not quite adequate.  I have a pair of SVS SB 16 Ultra.   I trust you have the electronics to support these speakers as they really perform with the right electronics. Lots of good choices.

Happy New Year everybody!
