Offered is „Sonus Faber Olympica Nova 2 Wenge“ by Sonus Faber as exhibit from the category „Standing Speaker“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 3783375912 ends on 23.10.2026 at 06:11 o'clock.
Against your comparable set, €8,000 sits above the €5,926 median and also above the €8,559 75th percentile only by a little, so this reads as upper-market but still defensible rather than a clear bargain. It is not cheap, but it is close enough to the top of the pack that I’d call it an ambitious fair ask if the condition is genuinely good and the pair is complete.
That makes sense for a well-regarded compact design like this: Sonus faber’s small floor/standmount classics are valued for their refined mids, natural voicing, and easy musicality rather than brute-force output. If the cabinets are clean, the drivers are original, and it comes with stands, grills, and any packaging or paperwork, the premium is easier to justify; if anything is missing, I’d push back on price because at €8,000 you want a very tidy, ready-to-go example.

Sonus faber was founded in 1983 by Franco Serblin in Vicenza, Italy, emerging from a singular vision to create loudspeakers of superior musical quality using natural materials and refined design. The company's name, Latin for "handcrafted sound," encapsulates its foundational philosophy. Serblin's early work—including the iconic Snail prototype inspired by Leonardo da Vinci's sketches—established the brand's commitment to marrying acoustic performance with sculptural aesthetics. The company's Italian heritage remains central to its identity, with production continuing in Vicenza for over four decades.
Sonus faber specializes exclusively in loudspeakers, a focused approach that has defined its market position. The brand is renowned for handcrafted wooden cabinets, violin-inspired industrial design, and signature model lines including the Guarneri Homage, Amati, Stradivari, and Aida. Early designs featured Kevlar woofers and silk-dome tweeters, though solid-wood construction became the defining material signature. Each speaker is treated as a musical instrument rather than mere audio equipment, reflecting the company's artisanal manufacturing ethos.
Sonus faber occupies the premium high-end segment of the audio market, commanding respect among discerning audiophiles and collectors worldwide. The brand's reputation rests on uncompromising craftsmanship, luxury materials, and the integration of traditional Italian design principles with contemporary audio technology. Its positioning appeals to listeners who view speakers as both functional components and interior design statements—a niche that has sustained the company's prestige and premium pricing across its four-decade history.
