Sonus Faber Olympica III - Floor-Standing Flagship Reference Loudspeaker - Walnut

Sonus Faber is known for giving all of the details the attention they deserve. Stepping into the Olympica line adds a luxurious flair with highly detailed sound. Cabinets are finished and trimmed in real 'solid' woods, hi-quality leather and polished aluminum similar to that of their speakers in the $50K+ range. Specially designed and built drivers are specifically fitted into these cabinets creating a speaker to be longed for.

The Olympica III is the largest, flagship product in this line. It includes the precision detail and naturalness of the other Olympica's while solidly grounding the low end with the addition of a woofer in its larger cabinet. To many listeners these are capable of reference level performance, especially in the mid-frequencies. They play well with many quality amplifiers and are capable of providing a luxurious warmth and tonality that's truly satisfying to listen to for long sessions.

This pair is pre-owned. The drivers are flawless. Both grills are perfect. The leather tops and aluminum trim is as if they are new. The speakers play flawlessly. The wood on both speakers has numerous dings on the sides and upper edges. Many are small and one corner bump is about the size of a pencil eraser. The left speaker has a 3" scratch on the lower left side that's been professionally touched up and blended. The same speaker has a crack on the upper wood trim on the back. Overall none of the damage is noticeable unless someone inspects the cabinets closely. If you wanted them to be perfect, a good furniture refinisher could fix the dings since the cabinets are real, solid walnut.

The pair is in its original boxes, with all original packaging and accessories. We are including a full 1 year warranty as a Sonus Faber dealer.
Shipping: Due to size and weight, speakers will ship truck freight strapped on a small pallet. Residential delivery and lift-gate service may add fees depending on location.
