Sonus Faber Olympica Nova I Bookshelf Speakers Pair – Walnut

Sonus Faber Olympica Nova I bookshelf speaker

The Sonus Faber Olympica Nova I is a compact 2-way bookshelf speaker designed to deliver high-end acoustic performance in a smaller, more versatile form factor. As part of the Olympica Nova series, it reflects Sonus Faber’s dedication to Italian craftsmanship, combining natural materials with advanced acoustic engineering for a rich, detailed, and emotionally engaging sound experience.

Despite its compact size, the Olympica Nova I produces a wide and immersive soundstage, allowing listeners to experience music with exceptional clarity and spatial depth. It is capable of revealing subtle musical details while maintaining coherence across the entire frequency range, ensuring that individual notes remain distinct yet harmoniously integrated.

The cabinet features the signature lute-inspired shape with an asymmetrical design that enhances acoustic behavior and reduces dependency on room placement. The enclosure is constructed using hand-finished natural wood panels combined with a solid die-cast aluminum front plate for improved rigidity and resonance control. Italian leather detailing around the drivers adds a refined aesthetic touch and further demonstrates Sonus Faber’s artisanal approach.

At its core, the speaker uses a 2-way system with a 28 mm silk dome tweeter featuring a neodymium motor system and DAD (Damped Apex Dome) technology for precise high-frequency reproduction. The 150 mm mid-woofer uses a high-quality CCAW voice coil with an eddy-current-free design to ensure clean, dynamic midrange and bass performance.

The Stealth Ultraflex vented system optimizes airflow through a carefully engineered internal port design, reducing turbulence and distortion while improving low-frequency control. A crossover point at 2500 Hz ensures smooth transition between drivers, using premium-grade components for signal purity and accurate tonal balance.

With a sensitivity of 87 dB and a frequency range extending from 45 Hz to 35,000 Hz, the Olympica Nova I delivers a balanced and immersive listening experience. It supports amplifier power from 35W to 250W and offers flexible connectivity through dual binding posts for bi-wiring or bi-amping configurations. The Sonus Faber Olympica Nova I is designed for listeners who seek refined detail, musical warmth, and elegant design in a compact loudspeaker.
