Sonus Faber Olympica Nova 2 vs Nova 3

I just moved into a new apartment in Jerusalem and am considering the Sonus Faber speakers as asside from sounding real good they really look beautiful.

I thought the Nova ii would work well for me - but I can get the Nova iii for just $2,500 more than the Nova ii.

Is the Nova iii a significant improvement sound-wise over the Nova ii ?

Also does the Nova iii  appear physically much larger the Nova ii ? I have a nice size living room - but the stereo system will be in my living room so I am concerned with the size of the speakers ?

Thx,

S

My view is -- I always go for the "more bass" output.

I have the Nova 3 in a similar sized room placed approximately 2’ from the back wall. They offer a neutral yet very detailed musical experience. Their bass response and dynamics are superior to the 2’s and if your budget allows I would just go for it.

Thanks for the responses - I have the budget - i am just concerned that they will look to big in the room (compared to the Nova 2). 

As far as being patient - i agree - but the think is I currently have no speakers or system at all in my new apartment - so waiting for SF to update the Nova speakers can mean having no music at all for years.
