Sonus Faber Olympica G3 III Floor Standing Speaker

Olympica G3 III is a floorstanding loudspeaker in the Sonus faber Olympica G3 family, designed to deliver the series’ natural, expressive sound in a form factor that suits a wide range of rooms and systems. It sits just below the flagship G3 V, offering a highly capable, full‑range option that carries the same design language and core technologies in a slightly more compact, more versatile package.

High‑frequency performance is handled by a refined Sonus faber tweeter architecture focused on smooth, extended treble with a naturally airy presentation. The integration with the front baffle is engineered to maintain broad, even dispersion, helping fine detail and ambience remain audible across a realistic seating area rather than collapsing into a narrow sweet spot.

Through the midband, Olympica G3 III uses the dedicated Candela midrange driver that helps define the voice of the G3 series. This driver is voiced to carry vocals and instruments with clarity, texture and precise timing, giving the III a communicative, engaging character rather than a purely analytical one. Behind the Candela, a cork backing is employed as a targeted damping layer at the driver–cabinet interface, chosen for its ability to absorb and control resonances around the midrange, keeping the critical vocal region clean and reducing colouration from the surrounding structure.

In the bass, G3 III employs woofers tailored to its cabinet volume and intended room size. Their cones, suspensions and motor systems are specified for controlled excursion and low distortion at practical listening levels, allowing the speaker to reach convincingly low frequencies while preserving grip and definition. The tuning emphasizes bass that underpins music and film soundtracks with real weight and scale, yet remains agile enough to work comfortably in more modest spaces and closer to room boundaries.

The cabinet follows Sonus faber’s asymmetric, sculpted Olympica design language, with real wood and metal details that allow the III to function as both a loudspeaker and a piece of furniture. Internal bracing, non‑parallel surfaces and a considered mix of damping materials—including the cork treatment around the Candela midrange—are used to manage resonances and internal reflections. Together, these elements help Olympica G3 III project a wide, stable soundstage and maintain a coherent tonal balance, making it a compelling main left‑right choice for systems that demand serious performance with a footprint that’s easier to integrate into everyday living spaces.
