How to Open the Sonus Faber Olympica IIIs (Please Help)

I’ve always got the best results with Audio Research preamps for my Pass amps… notably better than the result with Pass preamps. With ARC still detailed but much more natural and musical.

@roxy54 strange indeed, on top of that there is a binding post plate on the back of the speaker with six clearly seen bolts/screws.

It seems strange that you would have an expensive pair of amps like that and not know what pre to use with them.

Greatly appriciated  for all the Responds  Guys . Have a great weekend will keep posting if i am able to fix it . I also have a pair of Pass Labs X600.8 amp . Anyone know what preamp should i use  ( output Impedance S/B < 1k ohm ). Thanks

Oh, and also check the small plates between the speaker cable connector plugs and make sure they are both secure.

All the best.

OP,

Unscrew the 4 screws holding the the speaker cable connecting plate and pull it out. That’s the best place to start.

All the best.

check if access is from the back, but my thinking is there is a trim ring around the driver mounting area that will need to come off to expose the driver mounting screws.  probably a trim ring around the outer edge of the driver. 

yes try you tube , nothing there. i do have electronic background my problem is how to get inside ( to the back of the woofer or the cross over i can manage then.)Thank you very much for all the responses , greatly appriciated.

Did you go. On you tube ?

access it through the back of the speaker by unscrewing binding post plate.

if you didn't realize it on how-to, I would suggest it to bring it to the tech instead of trying to screw things up even more to the game.

Did you try to unscrew the drivers?

…..,hmmmm maybe take them to an authorized Sonus Faber dealer or SF repair shop might be thought .
