Sonus Faber Olympica Nova I Bookshelf Speakers Pair – Wenge

Sonus Faber Olympica Nova I bookshelf speaker

The Sonus Faber Olympica Nova I is a high-end 2-way bookshelf loudspeaker designed to bring refined musical performance into a compact form factor. As part of the Olympica Nova range, it reflects Sonus Faber’s Italian heritage, blending traditional craftsmanship with modern acoustic engineering to achieve a natural, detailed, and emotionally expressive sound signature.

Despite its small footprint, the speaker produces a surprisingly expansive and immersive soundstage, allowing listeners to perceive fine musical details while maintaining tonal balance and coherence. It is engineered to reproduce both delicate nuances and dynamic passages with clarity and precision.

The cabinet features a distinctive asymmetrical lute-inspired shape that improves acoustic dispersion and reduces the impact of room placement. Its structure is built using hand-finished natural wood panels combined with a rigid die-cast aluminum front plate, increasing stiffness and reducing unwanted resonance. Italian leather accents around the driver area further enhance both aesthetics and craftsmanship quality.

The speaker is equipped with a 28 mm silk dome tweeter featuring a neodymium motor system and DAD (Damped Apex Dome) technology, ensuring accurate and smooth high-frequency reproduction. The 150 mm mid-woofer uses a CCAW voice coil with an eddy-current-free design, delivering clean and controlled midrange and bass response with strong dynamics.

The Stealth Ultraflex bass reflex system uses an internal vent structure designed to regulate airflow efficiently, minimizing turbulence and distortion while improving low-frequency definition. A precisely tuned crossover at 2500 Hz ensures seamless integration between drivers, supported by high-quality components for accurate signal transmission.

With a frequency response from 45 Hz to 35,000 Hz, 87 dB sensitivity, and compatibility with amplifiers ranging from 35W to 250W, the Olympica Nova I offers flexible system integration. It supports bi-wiring and bi-amping through dual binding posts and can be used on stands or shelves. The result is a compact speaker that delivers refined detail, natural tonality, and immersive musical performance.
