New SF speakers coming

Esteban,

I honestly do not see the Oympica is a line below Aida and above the Futura.. It's nice looking speakers, but in no way it is worth more than $26k to me..

Dewey, I was finally able to see the hi-res images of the Olympicas (they were not working before on my work PC, for some reason) and I agree with your assessment above. But these sure look really nice. I'm curious about the back of the units, which seem to be slightly angled to one side.
 
Specs list a graphite finish option for the entire series. Can't wait to see more photos. A glossy red violin finish would be stunning in these as well.

Yes, liking these more and more as I look at the new images. They are really growing on me. I love the asymmetrical back and the unusual port design with the perforated metal grill. The leather top is gorgeous as well, and pure Sf. Even though these are not called "Cremona", they seem to be their replacement anyway, and I wish the natural maple finish was also an option for the new series. In any case, the important question for me here is... how much? I hope prices are no more than +/- $1K more than the Cremona models...

If I didn't have my Futura, I would definitely love to own the Olympica III myself..
 
At Highend 2013 show - no live demo.

There will be more models in the Olympica series.
 
My guess on pricing on these is as follows:

1) Olympica I (Monitor + Stands): in the $11-12Kish zip code
2) Olympica II: $15Kish
4) Olympica III: $18-20Kish

Hopefully coverage from Munich will give us a sense of pricing.

I hope your predictions don't come true! :)

From what I could surmise these will be above the Cremona line but below the Homage line which is where I took a shot in terms of guessing the pricing :D
 
Dewey they are not yet priced - still waiting on finalized BOM.

By the way, now that I am back I can tell you that I missed you over the weekend. Was in Berkeley for a training Saturday through Tuesday. Unfortunately with a power outage at Sumiko all day Friday, Saturday was a full prep day well into the night. No free time :(
 
Are the woofers in the II and III models 9"? The specs on Sf's website are not fully clear about this, but they mention that they are "direct descendants" from the 9" woofer used in the Aida... They look smaller on the pictures, though.
