The Sonus Faber Olympica Nova I is a meticulously engineered high-fidelity bookshelf loudspeaker that brings the brand’s legendary Italian craftsmanship into more intimate listening spaces. Designed with a 2-way, para-aperiodic vented “Stealth Ultraflex” cabinet, it delivers an immersive and natural sound that reveals musical nuance from every recording, from delicate vocals to complex orchestral passages. The speaker’s hand-finished wood cabinet, accented with premium Italian leather and solid die-cast aluminum, not only enhances acoustic performance by minimizing unwanted resonance but also elevates interior aesthetics with luxurious materials and exquisite detailing. Featuring a refined 28 mm Damped Apex Dome (DAD™) tweeter and a 150 mm mid-woofer with a specially engineered voice coil, the Olympica Nova I provides a broad and expressive frequency response with clarity and depth. Whether positioned on a bookshelf or paired with optional stands, it immerses listeners in a richly textured soundstage that feels larger than its compact form.
