Another week listening exclusively to the Olympicas, so I decided to put the 23s back in to the system and see how it sounded.
Now I know the Olympicas are a big step up from the 23s. The 23s now sound thin and a little “tinny” a word my girlfriend uses. They sound boxy and lack the soundstage I have now got used to.
The Olympicas have a much fuller sound and they really fill the room. One downside for me is the bass can still sometimes overpower my room. The bass can be a bit dull.
I think I actually prefer the tighter bass of the 23, but it does lack the impact the Olympicas bass has.
I guess what would be idea l now was if the 26 kept a lot of the 23s characteristics, like the tight bass, but also gave me the soundstage and full sound I get from the Olympicas.
