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.

Olympca III is on the house!
Until recently I owned a pair of Usher Mini Dancer 1. The speaker that led me into the wonderful world of hifi. But after listening to the Olympica III for a couple of hours at my local dealer I knew they were history. It was just a matter of time.
The boxes are fairly big but with assistance from my trusted hifi friend Apexorca the Olympica is in the house. The first minutes of their new life were spent up side down in order for the spices to be mounted. They bring a certain christmas feeling don't they |

Now everything is in place
You get no less than three booklets covering all aspects of the speakers. One focus on the assembly and set up, no 2 on the technical side of the speakers and the third is all about the handcraft and tradition. The first CD played on the Olympica was Boz Scaggs - Fade Into Light. It sounds absolutely effortless and open. And yet they have only 20 hours… |

The graphite finish is classy. Elegant in an understated sort of way. But all of their finishes are beautiful.
Congratulations! . |
