Hi all,

I'm going to buy the Olympica III asap too. I'm living in Germany near Frankfurt. Actually I sell my KEF R900. If they got new owners I can order the O3.

It's so hard to wait for me😉

I heard the O3 several times and its really a fine speaker, very emotional...

Greetings, Steven

Hmm, order (Olympica 3 in graphite) placed on the 10th of January 2014, still no info on the delivery date :-(

Chaq, have you got them already?

Oh ita good to hear they have delivered to Dubai already. Means, they will now process my order to Czech republic ;-)

Really excited to hear your feelings, Chaq. Let us know immediately and post some pictures ;-)

BTW, the german Audio magazine has rated Olympica II 99 points - same as e.g. B&W 802 diamond. So O3 will be better ;-)

I had been promised a set of wood stained Olympica 3 in early December. Apparently someone over at Sonus can't count or reallocated mine. So my audio guy loaned me the black finished ones he received. I received my wood colored ones last week. I admit I like the wood stain less than any other Sonus Has used, but they are still beautiful. And they sound great.

iPhone photo, I'll have to take one with my Nikon.
