Met de komst van de nieuwe g3 van sonus faber olympica is de voorgaande 'oude', als je dat zo mag noemen, olympica nova serie nu voor een aantrekkelijke prijs verkrijgbaar als occasion
Timing matters a bit here because this is an established design rather than a current generation model, so you’re buying on reputation and condition, not novelty. At €4,250, it sits just under the €4,257 25th percentile and below the €4,798 median, so this is a strong buy rather than merely fair value.
That makes it appealing for what it is: a compact high-end standmount with the Sonus faber strengths of refined tonal balance, a fluid midrange, and an easy, musical presentation that rewards careful system matching. If the cabinets are clean and the drivers are original and healthy, the upside is a lot of serious speaker for the money; just confirm the stands, grilles, and any packing are included, since those matter for resale and safe transport.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
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.
