The flagship of the Olympica Nova collection is not just a speaker, it’s a piece of interior design. No frills, Olympica Nova V will fill your room with a warm and engaging sound.

The new Olympica Nova embraces the authentic values that inspired the original Olympica line while adding a substantial amount of freshly developed technology, from new drivers and crossovers, to new cabinet structure and internal volume tuning, to a new exterior look. Of the seven models in the collection, three are all-new to the Olympica Nova line, including an on-wall model, a third and more powerful floor-stander, and a larger center channel.

The Aesthetics

The walls of the new Olympica Nova collection are made with eight layers of laminated timber, providing the cabinet with extreme rigidity. Inside the cabinet, carefully placed structural ribs are used as reinforcement to reduce vibration, and to handle the overall power of the transducer’s movement.

The original Olympica’s leather wrapped top panel now gives way to a walnut or wenge wood panel set in a solid die-cast aluminium plate.

The outer part of the Stealth UltraflexTM system, an extremely low-turbulence porting system, is fabricated from a solid piece of extruded aluminium and it is inherited from Sonus Faber’s Homage Tradition models. Inspired by ocean waves, the system facilitates airflow through the duct while controlling its speed, and reducing distortion-causing turbulence.

Completely redesigned for the line relaunch, the supports (bottom plates and stands) are crafted from solid aluminium billets and paired with steel spikes, guaranteeing increased strength and solidity.

The front baffle is comprised of hand-finished natural wood, enhancing the entire enclosure.

Genuine leather is applied to the Voice of Sonus faber and around the woofers. As per Sonus faber tradition, the leather is applied by hand in the brand’s Vicenza production facility.

This specific shape allows versatile positioning of the speakers for efficient bass response tuning in any room, while the lack of flat and parallel walls improves enclosure performance. This is an original design concept inspired by nature, as the lines follow the flow of a circular spiral motion, achieving a more organic cabinet structure. Not just a functional element added to handle airflow, the reflex duct is now fully integrated into the cabinet, further improving the speed and transparency of sound.

Obvious to me is that this is a speaker that has been designed not only for audiophiles but for music lovers. Its midrange is super-transparent, its soundstage dimensions, scale, and pinpoint imaging capabilities, along with its quick transient response are first-rate.

As if to match their luxurious build and finish, the Olympica Nova 5s deliver a very cultured, almost velvety view of the music, likely to impress with their sheer scale and lack of any obvious sonic nasties.
