You say it "may not be possible" to have the 26s on home demo - meaning there's no dealer willing/able to let you try a pair at home? (Or maybe another reason, I'm not trying to be nosy!) It would be pretty disappointing not to give them a fair try-out, if you're seriously considering them and like your existing PMCs - if only to prevent yourself from thinking about what might have been...
On the other question, firing a long shot back at you: have you tried experimenting with the toe-in of the Olympicas? It might be worth playing with, as you should be able to "tune" the top end a bit; although I haven't messed about with this much, received wisdom is that you're likely to get the most "toppy" sound when the speakers are pointed straight at your listening position (i.e. on-axis response).
