Offered is „Olympica Nova III 3 Generation 2“ by Sonus Faber as exhibit from the category „Speaker, Headphone“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 4206332527 ends on 20.10.2026 at 18:26 o'clock.
A new pair of these sat well into five figures, so €11,900 for a used good-condition pair is still below new pricing but clearly ambitious versus the recent used market. Against a median of €6,218 and a 75th percentile of €8,592, this asks a premium that needs something special to justify it.
That said, this is a seriously respected small floorstander: refined imaging, superb midrange presence, and a finish and cabinet quality that still feel genuinely high-end. If the pair is clean, complete, and from a careful owner, it’s an appealing buy for someone specifically chasing Sonus faber’s house sound; just don’t expect a routine-market bargain at this number.

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.
