Description

Description Freakuence!
Beautifully crafted columns. In terms of design, Sonus Faber is very popular among women! So that’s direct gain. They sound grand but remain delicate and loose. They are tight and firm in the low end (stable amplifier desired), and the midrange is delight for those who love warm lore.
Retail price: 16,000.00
Details
The Nova series is being discontinued. We’ve been told that the replacement models are expected to be 40% more expensive. This is our last set, brand-new in an unopened box (unfortunately, we can’t open it for you).
Send a message if interested. We are also happy to trade on it!
General description
The Sonus Faber Olympica Nova III is a three-way floorstanding speaker that offers a powerful and transparent soundstage. With its slim and elegant design, this speaker delivers an immersive listening experience.

The asymmetrical lute design of the Olympica Nova III contributes to improved sound reproduction by minimizing internal resonances. The enclosure is made of eight layers of curved wood, providing increased structural rigidity and reduced interference. The internal rib structure reduces vibration and supports the transducers, resulting in accurate and dynamic reproduction.

The Olympica Nova III features Sonus Faber’s advanced acoustic technologies, including a 28 mm silk soft dome tweeter with DAD™ technology for extended high frequency performance. The custom-made midrange driver is made from an air-dried blend of cellulose pulp and natural fibers, providing a transparent and natural sound. The woofer cone uses an exclusive sandwich construction, consisting of two layers of cellulose pulp with a high-tech foam layer in between, ensuring fast and powerful sound reproduction.

Reviews & awards | Sonus Faber Olympica Nova III

The Absolute Sound

rates the Sonus Faber Olympica Nova III as a loudspeaker with excellent soundstage and stability, especially with symphonic recordings. The speaker maintains coherence during powerful orchestral passages and reproduces instrumental and vocal timbres and textures with remarkable neutrality. For example, the nuances of a solo violin are rendered with realistic immediacy.

AudioHead

highlights the natural sound of the Olympica Nova III and notes that the speaker delivers punchy bass, holographic midrange, and clear highs. The combination of a 1-inch silk DAD tweeter and a 6-inch cellulose pulp midrange driver contributes to its impressive performance. The speaker is versatile and can be driven by various amplifiers, ranging from 70W to 250W.

LB Tech Reviews

notes that the Olympica Nova III has an asymmetrical lute shape without parallel internal surfaces, which reduces internal resonances. The speaker uses a 28 mm DAD tweeter and a 15 cm midrange driver with a lightweight cellulose cone. The bass response is deep and controlled, and the speaker performs well with powerful amplifiers. Compared to competitors, the Nova III offers a more airy treble and a more natural sound.

NOVO Audio and Technology Magazine

highlights the craftsmanship of the Olympica Nova III, with handcrafted cabinets made of eight layers of bent wood and an asymmetrical teardrop shape. The speaker combines a 28 mm silk dome tweeter, a 150 mm cellulose pulp midrange driver, and two 180 mm woofers with a sandwich construction of cellulose pulp and syntactic foam. The speaker has a sensitivity of 90 dB and a nominal impedance of 4 ohms, making it easy to drive.

StereoLife Magazine

highlights the Olympica III's exceptional sound quality, with natural and balanced reproduction that impresses with both music and movies. The speaker performs excellently in a variety of conditions and offers an immersive listening experience.

EvoGrid

describes the Olympica Nova III as a speaker that combines Italian luxury with top-class audio quality. The speaker delivers punchy bass, holographic midrange, and clear treble, thanks in part to advanced driver technology and high-quality construction. The reviewer considers the Nova III one of the best floor-standing speakers under $15,000.

CD

De Compact Disc (CD) kwam zoals de meeste uitvindingen niet uit de lucht vallen. Na de uitvinding van de laser in 1958 werd in 1961 het eerste octrooi voor optisch leesbare schijven ingediend. In 1972 werden de eerste digitale videoplaten geïntroduceerd. Na een flop van Philips kwam de fabrikant in 1979 samen met Sony met de eerste cd, wat erop stond weten wij niet maar in 1982 kwam de eerste cd voor de markt uit, het was het album Visitors van ABBA. In dit jaar kwam de eerste speler beschikbaar en zo begon de verdrijving van de lp uit de markt. Velen hebben hun lp’s letterlijk bij het vuil gezet… sommige bezoekers zien wij nog steeds balen als ze dit vertellen. Heb je cd’s, geniet er vooral nog eens van, ze hebben immers geen oneindige levensduur.

CD

The Compact Disc (CD), like most inventions, did not appear out of thin air. After the invention of the laser in 1958, the first patent for optically readable disks was filed in 1961. The first digital video records were introduced in 1972. After a flop by Philips, the manufacturer, together with Sony, released the first CD in 1979. We do not know what it contained, but in 1982 the first CD was released for the market, it was the album Visitors by ABBA. In this year the first player became available and so began the elimination of the LP from the market. Many have literally thrown their LPs in the trash… we still see some visitors being disappointed when they tell us this. Velen hebben hun lp’s letterlijk bij het vuil gezet… sommige bezoekers zien wij nog steeds balen als ze dit vertellen.
