I have had the Olympica 1 for about 2 years now and have nothing but praise for them. The speakers are designed and manufactured in Italy, they look marvellous just what you would expect from Italian craftsmanship. Thankfully its not style over substance, the speakers sound amazing. The only thing they lack in is bass, so not recommended if you are mainly going to listen to Rock.
Rama, ironically I was just looking at a pair of SF Olympica 1 speakers and matching stands on eBay for 4500USD. Seems like a good price and the seller is within driving distance. I’m still doing my research, however, so I’m reluctant to pull the trigger. Thanks much, though, for your feedback!
