Ok today I took delivery of my new Olympicas........a good feeling
For me they pipped the 26s , they are exceptional with vocals , giving a lovely full sound
The bass has much more authority' and weight although it is not as tight and controlled as the 26s IMO.
The Olympicas sweet treble makes the acoustic guitar a joy to listen to. Percussion is excellent too and has real slam.
The PMCs are excellent too ,but when I put the Olymoicas back in I realised it was the room filing sound that I missed the most. They do that so much better than the 26s.
When you listen you have no idea where the speakers are as the room seems to have music coming from every angle. The 26s in comparison seem boxy.
In the end I went for the speaker I enjoyed the most.
