Listened to the Olympica I today...

One tweek we tested was with high quality jumpers from Nordost.
Olympica did respond very positively on the jumpers compared to the standard metal connecting the HF and LF.
I recommend it. The sound did get better.

The lower frequencies has this perforated metal to go through. Its just on one side of the speaker so therefore you can say there is one left and one right speaker. Of course you can have them out to the side or in depending on the room.

We listened to krell EVO402e. PhantomII and SACDIII and Brinkman Bardo vinylplayer and a lot of products from Nordost.






We were more happy about this demonstration then this man from Norway.

Olympica II with the grills on.
This one is smaller and sounds smaller.

Olympica I of course sounds nice and looks great. But has a much smaller soundstage and depth. Thats the way it is with these kind of speakers. Thought, they did very well and can present depth that similar sized speakers can't.

This three speakers are neutral with a bit of warm sound, never harsh.
They really makes it fun to listen to music.

My favorite is Olympica III. It's more like a HiEnd speaker. Bigger scene, depth soundstage yes everything makes the listening session better with It, I think. All kinds of music can be very well reproduced.

Maybe, the Olympica II is to far away from III to catch interest. If you by a floor standing speaker in this price range you probably wants full range sound and II does not produce that i my eras. I thing III and I will be the most interesting of these new "Cremona" line.

I will recommend Olympica III to anyone who would like to spend money in this price range. But of course thats me, and I really like Sonus Faber both in design and sound.
