Sonus Faber Olympica G3 III Floorstanding Speakers
The Sonus Faber Olympica G3 III is a refined high-end floorstanding speaker that brings the beauty, musicality, and craftsmanship of the new Olympica G3 series into a more room-friendly form. Positioned below the larger Olympica G3 V, the Olympica G3 III offers much of the same design philosophy and acoustic ambition in a speaker that is easier to place in a wider range of listening rooms.
As part of the newly reworked Olympica G3 collection, the Olympica G3 III represents a significant evolution from the previous Olympica Nova generation. This is not simply a cosmetic refresh. Sonus Faber has drawn from its flagship Suprema project, introducing new driver technology, improved cabinet construction, and a more sophisticated approach to resonance control while preserving the unmistakable warmth, elegance, and emotional realism that define the brand.
Suprema-Inspired Camelia Midrange Technology
One of the most important changes in the Olympica G3 series is the implementation of Sonus Faber’s Camelia midrange driver. Inspired by the organic shape of the camelia flower, this driver concept was developed from ideas introduced in Sonus Faber’s flagship Suprema loudspeaker system. Its distinctive form is designed to help reduce unwanted resonance and preserve the natural character of the midrange.
In the Olympica G3 III, the Camelia midrange helps give voices and instruments a more open, textured, and lifelike presentation. Vocals have presence without becoming forward, acoustic instruments have body without losing air, and the speaker is designed to reveal detail in a way that feels musical rather than clinical. This is where Sonus Faber loudspeakers are often at their most compelling: not simply in how much information they reveal, but in how naturally and emotionally they present it.
A Three-Way Floorstander with Scale and Finesse
The Olympica G3 III is a true three-way floorstanding loudspeaker, combining a DAD™ Arrow Point extended-frequency silk dome tweeter, the Camelia paper cone midrange driver, and dual 165 mm paper cone woofers. This design gives the speaker the scale and authority expected from a serious floorstander while maintaining the refinement and tonal beauty that Sonus Faber is known for.
Compared with a bookshelf speaker, the Olympica G3 III brings greater weight, dynamic ease, and low-frequency foundation. Compared with the larger Olympica G3 V, it offers a more approachable size for listeners who want full-range musicality without requiring the largest possible room. It is a strong choice for customers who want a high-end Sonus Faber floorstanding speaker that feels substantial, elegant, and practical for many refined listening spaces.
Sealed Cork Midrange Enclosure
The Olympica G3 III uses a sealed cork enclosure for the midrange section, helping isolate and control one of the most important parts of the speaker’s performance. Because the midrange carries so much of the emotional information in music — voices, strings, piano, brass, and the body of many instruments — controlling resonance in this region is essential.
By giving the midrange driver its own carefully damped environment, Sonus Faber helps the Olympica G3 III produce a cleaner, more natural, and more transparent presentation. The result is a speaker that can sound spacious and expressive while still maintaining the warmth and organic character that listeners expect from Sonus Faber.
Italian Craftsmanship with a Sculptural Presence
Sonus Faber has always approached loudspeaker design as a meeting point between sound, material, and sculpture. The Olympica G3 III continues that tradition with a lute-shaped cabinet, wood finishes, and aluminum flanges that give the speaker a graceful yet substantial presence.
The cabinet is not merely decorative. Its shape and construction are part of the speaker’s acoustic identity, helping reduce unwanted internal reflections while giving the Olympica G3 III its unmistakable Sonus Faber appearance. It is designed to look at home in an elegant listening space while serving as the centerpiece of a serious high-end music system.
Where Olympica G3 III Fits in the Sonus Faber Lineup
For customers comparing Sonus Faber floorstanding speakers, the Olympica G3 III occupies an important position. It sits above Sonetto as a more luxurious and technically advanced loudspeaker, while offering a more room-friendly alternative to the larger Olympica G3 V.
The Olympica G3 III is ideal for the listener who wants a true high-end Sonus Faber floorstander, but does not necessarily need the larger scale or room demands of the flagship model in the Olympica G3 range. It brings together premium craftsmanship, advanced driver technology, and a natural, emotionally engaging sound in a size that works well for many serious listening rooms.
