This is an interesting project that I may make an effort to hear. However, the concept of spending so much time and effort on finish is troublesome. A previous 6moons article also mentioned the great efforts and time relating to the finish. Does that imply that the designer believes the Olympian sound is largely sorted and would not have benefited from several thousands of hours in time and effort in R&D? I suppose the designer will answer that question indirectly when he releases the improved version of the Olympian.

Scooter, I do not think you are corrects. You sucked too much BS that media sprayed around Olympian. Living Voice is relatively established company and they produced small speakers for years. They ended toy with an idea to make expensive flagman speaker for years and of course the marketing pimps converted the time before Olympian relies into incredible 29 years-long efforts. The only thing is missing from the story is the tail that the Living Voice guy tock the idea of Olympian from the hands of dying monk from Atlántida. Sure, no one question that it took for Living Voice long time to perfect Olympian. Like for any of us, like for me tool 9 years to perfect Macondo. That is fine. You need to understand that there are much more prosaic things behind all of it. People who undertake a project with targeted $300K loudspeaker do not start it if they do not have a few of them pre-sold. So, the things uselessly work very simple-. They butter up 3-4 perspective customers and develop them to get Olympian. Then investment is made, parts are bought and a party of Olympian made.  One of then insulated in somebody room, a traveling cheerleader is invite and - here we go – the new product has sailed.

I would not guess how Olympian sound and I would like to hear them.  I however with a high degree can predict that I might not like them. With all their advances Olympian is not a system of an off the shelf loudspeaker. Generally a single SET with single ready-to-go loudspeaker deliver a bit limited result. Still it would be interesting to hear what Living Voice have done as much as I would be interested to show Living Voice what I have done with the same drivers. Surely, the use Vitavox drivers make me to be fascinated…
