I personally think they are the best looking SF bookshelf : simplicity and fluidity

Would be interesting to hear your take on the difference between the I's and the S1.

never heard the olympica 1 but the magic S1 with solution : the sound was nearly perfect : very fast, great soundstage, beautiful vocals, clear and accurate. Perhaps lacks warm

One of my favorite bookshelf speakers. The sound is near perfect!! Its balance, accurate, excellent soundstage and beautiful to look at!! I could listen to the Olympica 1 for hours and hours...Their that good!!

I think they look fantastic! They sound great, too. But I found that I preferred the 805 Diamonds. For some reason, the B&Ws were better able to convey emotion (which used to be a Sonus Faber hallmark).

I just sold 805 Diamond and bought Olympica II. I found SF more balanced and less midrange. But I put much more money and got medium gain (except for little more bass and a 3 way looks). 805 Diamond are a special speaker for me.. (Had for almost 5 years).

I also moved from B&W to SF , series 600 to Olympica II. I am so happy!!, SF sounds great!!! The sound is deep and three dimensional now.

Can someone help me get started with crossover points on Olympica I?

I use a pair of these and dual PSA s1500 in a stereo 2.2 system.

Just bought a preamp (Parasound Halo p5) that does active crossovers for both subs and mains.

What is the recommended crossover settings on Olympica I? I know they can go as low as 50 Hz, but they typically roll over higher than that. Anyone has a graph?

Thanks!

Nobody owns Olympica I here?
