What HiFi Reviews....the Sonus Faber Olympica G3 Floorstander

Posted by Jon Harker on

From this months What HiFi:

"very few mainstream speaker manufacturers can hold a candle to Sonus Faber when it comes to visual flair"

"While their sophisticated aesthetics grab our attention first, these Olympica towers also feature an impressive amount of technology and clever engineering."

"If you are a keen gardener, you will know that Camelia (often spelt with a double l) is a rather pretty flower. The Olympica G3 III’s unpainted, white paper pulp midrange cone is shaped like its namesake. Its distinctive geometry is claimed to avoid the resonances of a conventional circular cone and so produces cleaner, less distorted results."

"The first word that comes to mind is balance. The sound of these speakers is defined by a broad range of strengths rather than a specific superpower."

"While we wouldn’t describe these speakers as wholly neutral, their character is likeable, blending solidity with plenty of refinement and bite. "

"Sonus Faber’s Olympica G3 III are easy floorstanding speakers to like. They are beautifully made and styled with uncommon flair. Factor in the well-balanced sound and generally unfussy nature, and we think that they will appeal to a wide range of people."
