Sonus Faber Olympica III Loudspeakers $29,400/pair Review

December 20, 2014 Comments Off on Sonus Faber Olympica III Loudspeakers $29,400/pair Review

“When I set up a pair of speakers, the first thing I listen for is their tonal balance. I could tell right away that the Olympica III was not a pinnacle of neutrality, like Magico’s S5 ($29,400/pair), which I reviewed a year ago; or Revel’s Ultima2 Salon2 ($21,998/pair), a pair of which I’ve had at my place for some time”

“The sHP-100 has more tricks up its sleeve. On the bottom of the DAC, there is a switch which lets you choose between fixed and variable line output. There is also a headphone impedance selector for better headphone matching. The mini jack line input allows you to connect any portable device, or any analog source.”

“The WM8740 is a pretty mean DAC. It carries that famous Wolfson warmth without turning signal to muck, or sacrificing detail. And the RWA mod doesn’t squeeze your music through a low pass filter. In some ways, the RWAK100 produces a more energetic, unapologetic sound than the MSAK100 mod.”

“The bass is punchy, deep, and well integrated with the midrange. Transparency is excellent and the sound is devoid of any grain. The “Play It By Ear” has the strengths of both tube and solid-state and brings them together in a way I did not think was possible without spending thousands on a top-of-the-line (TOTL) amplifier.

“This weakness isn’t absolute; it’s relative to what can be achieved with even the most modest of wall-socket-powered headphone amplifiers. However, with all but MrSpeakers’ modded-Fostex being open backed, we’re back to discussing the limitations of this type of headphone for use in the office or on public transport.”

“pendor describes the D7 as a “2.5-way” speaker. The bottom, bass-only driver has Kevlar-reinforced skins on a lightweight cone and runs up to 900Hz, the mid/woofer up to 3.2kHz, where the tweeter takes over. The D7’s overall frequency response is 29Hz–25kHz.”
