I can add to the Olympica II, as an ownwer. They are just all-round very very good and also very nice to look at. A good WAF so to say :-)
But then again, listen is the way to go. Also, your taste in music will decide which way to go. The Olymica's i know are good all-rounders, excel in classic, but are propably beaten by other brands when it comes to other genres.
When i was comparing speakers in about the same range as you (having compared them with the Kef Reference 3, B&W 804 D3, Wilson Benesch Vector and of course my own Spendor D7's), the Olympicas's where just best all-round and most musical to my ears, which works best for me considering loving almost all the music styles out there...
Because of the fact i was not able/there are no dealers in the far neighborhood who have other brands in the same price range to compare, this was what i could compare realistically. But reading the comments on this forum and the reviews out there considering the Olympica II's you could do far worse...
