Sonus faber Olympica Nova Piano Black
Sonus faber's Olympica Nova collection gets a classy piano black finish option.
Sonus faber's seven-strong Olympica Nova AV loudspeaker collection has an all-new piano black finish alongside its walnut and wenge wood options which might make it easier to pair with your decor.
The seven-strong speaker collection, which includes a stand-mount, three floorstanders, two centre channels, plus an on-wall model, is the second iteration of Sonus faber's original Olympica collection of 2013.
On top of paying homage to the debut models, this series benefits from innovative trickle-down technologies such as new drivers, crossovers and internal volume tuning, plus updated cabinets and a renewed exterior design.
All Olympica Nova models eschew flat panels and parallel cabinet sides to improve enclosure performance and maintain the typical asymmetrical Lute shape of the OG Olympica. That cabinet shape apparently allows for versatile positioning to help tune the bass response in any room.
The piano black Sonus faber Olympica Nova range starts at $4,500 for the Olympica Nova W (wall). The Olympica Nova I 2-way standmounter sells for $7,500. The $11,000 Olympica Nova II is the first of three 3-way floorstanders, which is topped off by the Olympica Nova V at $18,000, with the Olympica Nova III in between - priced at $15,000. The two centre channels cost $5,500 for the 2-way Olympica Nova Ci and $7,500 for the 3-way Olympica Nova Cii. All are available now.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
