Selling my Sonus Faber Olympica 3 speakers in the Walnut finish, serial number 690. I am the original owner, purchased from authorized Sonus Faber dealer about a year and half ago. They are in Excellent Condition. Have all original boxes (with matching serial numbers to speakers), manuals, cloth coverings, etc. Can maybe even personally deliver them if you're in PA, Ohio, Maryland, DC, NY, or NJ, CT, VA area since they are such a pain to ship. I can also maybe meet at a halfway point if you live further outside the area. We can work the details of shipping or personal delivery and potential Paypal fees depending on your location. Message me and we will work it out.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS System
3-Way floor standing, 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 employed.
Tweeter
Sonus faber “Arrow Point” DAD (Damped Apex Dome), synthesis of the classic dome and ringTransducer 29XTR2. A Sonus faber designed 1.1” (29mm) moving coil driver. The ultra dynamic linearity is given by the new Neodymium motor system.
Midrange
Sonus faber M15XTR. A totally Sonus faber designed 6” (150mm) ultra dynamic linearity mid-woofer.CCAW wire is used on a composite former “eddy current free” voice coil. The dynamically linearmagnetic 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 are used, designed to remove cavity resonance and distortions.
Woofers
Sonus faber woofer W18XTR is a direct descendant of the 8.75” (220mm) speaker used in “Aida”. Dual low-frequency drive units are used in the Olympica III. The lightweight “sandwich cones are made from a blend of a synthetic foam membrane and coated with cellulose pulp are voiced to blend with the midrange drive unit and exhibit its same sonic characteristics. The result is absolute definition and coherency in the critical mid frequency range. A long-throw motor system with a 1.5" diameter controlled "eddy current" voice coil is implemented for high speed, dynamic performance and linearity.
Crossover
Non-resonant “progressive slope” design, optimized amplitude/phase response for optimal space/time performance. “Paracross topology” on both the tweeter hi-pass and midrange band-pass. Crossover points are 250Hz - 2.5kHz.
Frequency Response
35 Hz – 30.000 Hz, tuning port included.
Sensitivity
90 dB SPL (2.83 V/1m).
Nominal Impedance
4 ohm.
Suggested Amplifier Power Output
50W – 300W, without clipping.
Long-Term Maximum Input Voltage (Iec-268-5)
22V rms.
