I think the Olympica is one of the best Sonus Faber made - enjoyed it far more than any of the newest Tradition series. Everything is boosted too much in the upper midrange and treble... It's as if then entire tonal balance was shifted toward the treble. I did a long demo of the Olympica 3 and the Serafino Tradition, and enjoyed the Olympica series far more. I was a fan of all Sonus Faber speakers, but now don't care for any of the latest Tradition series (Sonetto, Tradition series, and I guess now the Nova I presume).... Guess I will have to find a new brand unfortunately. I always loved the Sonus Faber tonal balance but no longer.
