Sonus Faber Olympica G3 III
Artisanal Italian Craftsmanship | Brisbane HiFi High-End Audio Specialist
The Sonus Faber Olympica G3 III is the flagship 3-way floorstanding loudspeaker from the original Olympica collection, combining traditional Italian craftsmanship with advanced acoustic engineering. Handcrafted in Vicenza, Italy, it features Sonus Faber’s signature asymmetrical lute-shaped cabinet design, engineered to reduce internal standing waves while preserving a natural, musical presentation.
Featuring a 29 mm Damped Apex Dome (DAD) silk tweeter, a 150 mm natural-fiber midrange driver, and dual 180 mm cellulose/foam sandwich woofers, the Olympica III delivers a wide, immersive soundstage with exceptional tonal richness, dynamic scale, and refined Italian design.
At Brisbane HiFi, we recommend the Sonus Faber Olympica G3 III for audiophiles and home cinema enthusiasts seeking expansive sound reproduction, luxurious craftsmanship, and reference-level performance in medium to large listening spaces.
Key Features & Audio Engineering Highlights
Handcrafted Asymmetrical Lute-Shaped Enclosure
Constructed with solid walnut plates and natural wood veneers, the asymmetrical cabinet design eliminates parallel internal surfaces to reduce standing waves, resonance, and cabinet coloration.
Hand-Stitched Italian Leather Accent
Finished with genuine bull leather across the top panel and front baffle, complemented by aluminum detailing and Sonus Faber’s signature organic curves.
29 mm DAD (Damped Apex Dome) Tweeter
The 29XTR2 Arrow Point silk dome tweeter combines advanced damping technology with a phase plug design to deliver smooth, extended high frequencies up to 30 kHz with wide dispersion and exceptional refinement.
150 mm Natural Fiber Midrange Driver
Uses an air-dried cellulose, kapok, and natural fiber cone with a CCAW voice coil to provide:
Natural vocal reproduction
Transparent midrange detail
Fast dynamic response
Accurate tonal balance
Dual 180 mm High-Excursion Woofers
Twin 180 mm W18XTR bass drivers feature cellulose pulp and rigid syntactic foam sandwich cones derived from flagship Sonus Faber technologies, delivering powerful low-frequency extension down to 35 Hz.
Stealth Ultraflex / Vertical Aperiodic Venting
The vertical aluminum-clad lateral port system optimizes airflow and reduces port turbulence, allowing flexible placement closer to walls or corners without excessive bass reinforcement.
Progressive-Slope Paracross Crossover
The advanced crossover topology uses premium components, including Mundorf Evo Oil capacitors and Jantzen inductors, ensuring smooth phase alignment and seamless integration between drivers.
