Brand: Sonus faber
The Sonus Faber Olympica II is a high-performance floor-standing loudspeaker that combines the Italian brand's signature sound quality with contemporary design. The speaker features a new, more compact enclosure shape that is inspired by the traditional oak tree barrels used for aging fine wine in central Italy's Tuscany region.The speaker is equipped with a 28mm Damped Silk Dome tweeter, a 6.5-inch midrange driver, and two 7-inch woofers, all mounted on a proprietary three-point metal base for enhanced stability and minimized vibrations. The crossover is designed to provide seamless transition between the drivers, resulting in a detailed and cohesive sound reproduction.The Olympica II's cabinet is made of solid MDF with a "Cerusico" finish, a special coating that gives it the appearance and texture of wooden barrels. The front panel is constructed with a "Vortex Front" diffuser that deflects airflow away from the driver's face, reducing unwanted resonance and distortion.AudioBuff's review of the Sonus Faber Olympica II calls it "an exquisitely detailed performer that is impossible to ignore" and praises its "true-to-life tonality," "impressive bass response," and "startling dynamics." The Olympica II has received numerous awards and accolades from industry publications and critics alike for its exceptional sound quality and modern design.
