They are beautiful and my understanding is they are fully grown in Italy. I don't understand why the Magazine reviewer calls it mini Aida because it doesn't resembles appearance nor components. Oh what do I know. And yes I too love my Futura's.

My dealer got a shiny new pair on Friday, and I got a chance to have a brief listen and snap a few pictures of the Olympica III in graphite on Monday They only had 10 hours on them, and the Luxman had even less on it, but still they really impressed me. Incredible sound stage and really open. Bass really fast and articulate. The overall craftsmanship is unparalleled as I would expect from SF. I will definitely be spending more time in front of these when I get a window of opportunity.

I see you have the Cremona M's. How do they compare to the Olympica? Are the Olympica's still smooth with musicality as its highest priority, or are they much cleaner and more audiophillic than the Cremona M's?

The most prominent differences that I heard were the midrange is more accurate and less colored than my Cremona M. Also it is a faster and weightier sound. Being that I am comparing them in two completely different listening environments, it is hard to make a fair assessment of things such as sound stage and dimensionality. I will say however I am contemplating trading my Cremona Ms for these. I LOVE the overall package. My original plan was to keep saving for Amati Futura, but this speaker has caused me to possibly take a detour on that journey.
