Sonus faber - Olympica Nova V - Floorstanding Speakers (Pair)

Olympica Nova V is the flagship loudspeaker of the Olympica Nova collection, delivering breathtaking scale, authority, and refinement while remaining faithful to Sonus faber’s celebrated Natural Sound philosophy. Combining advanced acoustic engineering with exquisite Italian craftsmanship, Nova V creates a listening experience that is both emotionally engaging and technically extraordinary.

Its powerful three-way architecture and triple-woofer configuration produce deep, articulate bass while preserving the transparency, musicality, and realism that define the Olympica Nova family. Every performance is rendered with exceptional detail, expansive soundstaging, and effortless dynamics.

Handcrafted in Vicenza, Italy, Olympica Nova V blends luxurious natural materials, innovative technologies, and timeless design into a statement loudspeaker that elevates both music and living spaces.

DESIGN

Olympica Nova V embodies the evolution of Sonus faber’s iconic design language. Its asymmetrical lute-shaped cabinet minimizes internal resonances while creating a visually elegant silhouette that integrates beautifully into any environment.

The front baffle and cabinet sides are crafted from hand-finished walnut, wenge, or piano black wood and mounted within a rigid die-cast aluminum structure. Hand-applied Italian leather surrounds the driver assemblies, showcasing the meticulous craftsmanship that defines every Sonus faber creation.

More than a loudspeaker, Olympica Nova V represents contemporary Italian artistry, seamlessly blending performance, luxury, and timeless aesthetics.

TWEETER

The 28mm H28 XTR3 High Definition D.A.D.™ (Damped Apex Dome) silk soft dome tweeter utilizes a powerful Neodymium “cup design” motor system to deliver exceptional extension, detail, and realism.

By controlling anti-phase behavior at the apex of the diaphragm, D.A.D. technology produces smoother, more natural high frequencies while preserving the speed and transparency required for reference-level performance.

MIDRANGE

At the heart of Olympica Nova V is a custom 150mm MW15 XTR2-04 midrange driver featuring CCAW wire on an eddy-current-free voice coil. Developed entirely by Sonus faber, the cone utilizes a blend of air-dried cellulose pulp and natural fibers to reproduce vocals and instruments with exceptional realism.

This proprietary design minimizes resonance while delivering outstanding transparency, tonal accuracy, and micro-detail retrieval throughout the critical midrange frequencies.

WOOFERS

Olympica Nova V employs three custom 180mm W18XTR2-12 woofers featuring Sonus faber’s advanced sandwich-cone construction. Two layers of cellulose pulp surround a lightweight high-tech foam core, creating an ideal balance of rigidity, speed, and damping.

This sophisticated design allows the speaker to produce deep, powerful bass with remarkable control and articulation while maintaining seamless integration with the midrange and tweeter.

CROSSOVER & TECHNOLOGY

The crossover network utilizes premium Hi-Fi components and carefully optimized crossover points at 250Hz and 2500Hz. This precise integration ensures exceptional coherence between drivers and preserves the natural flow of musical information.

Sonus faber’s Stealth Ultraflex™ para-aperiodic venting system improves airflow through the enclosure while reducing turbulence and distortion, resulting in faster, cleaner low-frequency performance and greater dynamic capability.

CABINET CONSTRUCTION

The signature lute-shaped cabinet is engineered to reduce standing waves and unwanted internal resonances. Constructed from multiple layers of hand-finished wood and reinforced with aluminum structural elements, the enclosure provides an exceptionally rigid platform for the transducers.

Finished with luxurious black leather accents and available in semi-gloss or high-gloss wood finishes, Olympica Nova V combines world-class acoustic performance with timeless Italian design.
