According to the author, in addition to the accurate observations on Olympica Nova III’s cabinet and midrange, a note of credit goes to the study of the design of a new crossover filter – the heart of the system – aimed at improving listening performance dusting off that design philosophy from a few years ago in Sonus faber.
