Seems like a good deal, around 5500€ per pair?

Hi,

in Switzerland are priced CHF. 6500.- plus CHF. 1200.- for the Original Stand.

the OII are too available: CHF. 9900.-

For this price difference I think will be better invest in the Oympica II.


in around 1month the O III will be available too: CHF. 13900.-


style

Bill.......Yep! That was the statement that stuck out for me, too. High praise indeed.

I still have not heard of product that was not advetised as 'better' than the previous one. In many cases that is not the truth, but these are the laws of marketing and we must keep the wheels of production going on...always in a search of 'improvment'...

That quote is from the reviewer, not the Sf marketing department.

Saw them yesterday, the I and II. They were not playing, so I don't know about SQ, but build quality is off the charts, simply beautiful. IMO, the most beautiful Sf of late, so glad they toned down all the chrome, and the wood is simply gorgeous.

Sometimes is realy hard to distinguish one from another...

That a long time Sf fan/collector like the reviewer would speak of it in the same breath with GH was interesting to say the least.
