Early in 2013 I was ready to trade my Usher for something elese and Cremona M was a very attractive option. But my local dealer said he had sold his last pair and had trouble getting new once. So I was looking for second hand Cremonas during spring. But then came the word about something called the Olympica. And my, am I glad I did not pull the trigger earlier. In my ears the Olympica is more open and present than Cremona. As you describe it AudioPhilio, less coloration. But they are not analytic or cold at all. I have them hooked up to a AudioResearch DSI 200 and that brings some richness to the table. When demoed they had a Krell set up which gave the speakers some more slam dunk.
