Not really had a chance to listen on my own today as the girlfriend popped over. Of course I made her do a comparIson and she much preferred the Olympicas, by some margin. She never liked the 23s though so that did not surprise me.
For me I think bass is crucial and I think the 26s and my room go well together. Bass is tighter and does not overpower the room ............but and its a big but......I really wanted to stick the Olympicas back in tonight
I have played my Black Uhuru album a lot over the last 2 months, so I am very familiar with it. On the Olympicas it sounds amazing as the treble sounds great and it's so sweet. Tonight through the PMCs it sounded cold and clinical. And I think this is with reggae music where bass is critical.
I will keep the 26s in for a little while longer though as I think that suits how I judge things
