Lots of speculation in this thread. Will be very interesting to see the reaction to what actually shows in Munich.

The reference to "classic" makes me think older SF's, like the Concerto or Concertino which were wood and leather

Name od new line is Olympica. Again, Italian hifi press leaked info as was the case with Aida.
There is a video of Olympica on youtube. As far as I understand Olympica is replacement for Cremona M line.

Hopefully the monitor ("Olympica II"?) will be relatively affordable...

Nice! Looks stunning!
I'm glad to see they dumped the chrome finishes, for more wood and leather.

I agree. Sonus Faber was famous for its 'warm' sound in the beginning. How could 'chrome' go with 'warm' ? Anyway, these new speakers are beautiful !!! I love it.

These are stunning. I'm ready to upgrade my GM to these. Thanks for listening to us and dump the chrome parts.
