Still waiting to get the 26s on home demo but the Olympicas are really really good now. They are so smooth with all types of music. They may lack a bit of accuracy that the PMCs have but I am starting to wonder if that really matters. They certainly seem more forgiving to me. The treble is so sweet it's becoming a bit addictive.
Black Uhuru - Guess who's coming to dinner on tonight and it sounds so sweet. Just so enjoyable.

The PMCs arrive on Friday so there has been nothing to update .....other than I am loving the SFs.
Will be interesting to see how I feel when I put the PMCs in. I will of course report back

They are a demo pair so I am assuming mature. Not getting them till next Friday now.
My gut feeling is the Olympicas will win for me. I think they just offer the less clinical sound I enjoy.
We will see .......looking forward to comparing them though

Just to add I out my 23s back in last night and I was taken aback at how poor they sound. Obviously with. 3 weeks of the Olympicas I have been spoilt.
Also goes to show my A/B testing a few weeks ago did no good as I did not think the Olmpicas were that big a step up. Wow I now know different

My daughter preferred the Olympicas straight away compared to the 23s. She likes bass as all the youngsters do and the SFs just have more clout in this area. A much fuller bass. I struggled with this initially .........but she loved them straight away.
