Inside Sonus Faber Olympica III Speakers

Last two. The woofers and midranges are nice drivers. This is the first SF speaker where they manufactured their own drivers. Previous versions used mostly scanspeak drivers. Only the tweeter is a little disappointing in this . It’s a little “plastic’y” for my liking.

unlike some of the older SF speakers this one is MDF. Some of their newer lower end lines are made in China but these are not.

Unfortunately PE does not incorporate automatic photo compression so I need to keep going back and forth so I hope I don’t get too many duplicates.

I thought you all might like to see what’s inside a Sonus Faber Olympica III speaker. As a DIY’er you knew I was gonna take these apart. For the most part I saw what I expected but I was disappointed in the electrolytic caps in the lower end of the crossover. I guess at $14k another $200 in good caps would have ruined the profit margin😏
