Which Olympica? I have listened to the Olympica III and the Focal 1008Be, but at different dealers. The Focals were really good, with some Naim amp/electronics. The Olympicas were with Devialet 200. I liked the way the Focals played. Awesome imaging and musicality for their size. I can only imagine how good the 1038Be can be. From the specs, it looks like the Focals would be easier to drive than the Olympica III. Good Luck!
