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.

Thanks again everyone for the responses and help.  This forum is great!  Responses have made me feel pretty comfortable about putting the Serafino's in my space.

Vinylvin:  thanks for this suggestion, I will certainly consider it.

 

Happy New Year

@OP Very nice room. Could could happily put a pair of Wilson Alexx Vs in there so you will have no problems with the Serfinos.

I have owned the Serafinos and I think your room will be a very good match. My room is bigger, but the Serafinos are not huge speakers and I think your room will be close to ideal for these speakers.

The Serafinos are really good-enjoy!

The Serafino’s will work great in your space. At the worst, you might need a couple of bass traps, if you don’t have some already.

All the best.
