Sonus Faber Olympia III 3-Way Speakers - Walnut

BRAND NEW! Sonus Faber
Olympia III 3-Way Speakers (Walnut).

I bought these very
high-end speakers for my home last month, and unfortunately they do not work for
my space. I am heartbroken and the Audio Store I bought it from (Music Lovers
Audio) in San Francisco are unfortunately not working with me to fix the
situation.

I spent months researching
the speakers and supporting technology and carefully selected an Ayre CD player
and Ayre amplifier to support the Olympia III’s based on their specific audio
characteristics. This is a beautifully matched system and it sounds divine. (The
Ayre amplifier and Ayre CD player are also listed on Audiogon, should they also
be of interest.) The speakers have less than 10 hours on them and are in
PERFECT/mint condition. I have all manuals, warranties, boxes, and
receipts.

SYSTEM 

3 way floorstanding,
paralaminar stealth flow vented loudspeaker. 

CABINET

Enhanced “Lyre shape”
design, progressive thickness triple curvature cabinet walls damped spread
resonance spectrum system. Solid walnut vertical clamps.

TWEETER 

Sonus faber “Arrow Point”
DAD (Damped Apex Dome, synthesis of the classic dome and ring transducer)
29XTR2. A Sonus faber designed 29 mm moving coil driver. The ultra dynamic
linearity is given by the new Neodymium motor system. 

MIDRANGE

Sonus faber M15XTR. A
totally Sonus faber designed 150 mm ultra dynamic linearity midwoofer. CCAW
wire is used on a composite former “eddy current free” voice coil. The
dynamically linear magnetic field motor incorporates triple Kellog/Goeller
rings. A special custom diaphragm is made with a real time air dried non
pressed blend of traditional cellulose pulp, kapok, kenaf and other natural
fibers, developed according to the most natural sound. To further inhibit any
residual cone coloration we are using a transparent viscous surface damping
coating. Special coaxial anti-compressors is used, designed to remove cavity
resonance and distortions. 

WOOFERS

Sonus faber wooferS
W18XTR  are direct descendants of the 9” speakers used in “Aida”. The
salient aspect of the woofers, is to merge high definition, the prerogative of
the 'sandwich' cones, and an identity in synergy with the sound of the
midrange. This goal was reached by developing a “sandwich” membrane that
combines a "heart" in hi-tech rigid syntactic foam with external
layers in treated cellulose pulp. The 1.5” voice coils “controlled Eddy
Current”, together with the powerful long stroke magnetic motor, are guarantees
for excellent performance, both from the dynamic point of view and that of
linearity.

CROSS-OVER

Non-resonant “progressive
slope” design, optimized amplitude/phase response for optimal space/time
performance. “Paracross topology” on both tweeter hi-pass and midrange band
pass, cross-over points 250 Hz - 2.500 Hz.

FREQUENCY RESPONSE35
Hz – 30.000 Hz, tuning port included.

SENSITIVITY 90 dB SPL (2.83 V/1m). NOMINAL
