No, because I strongly preferred the lower-end Revel speaker, I ended up going with their top-of-the line Salon 2. Very happy with that decision!

Congrats. I’m sure you will get many years of enjoyment out of them and you won’t regret those Salon’s...

Thanks! The Olympica IIIs are great (and beautiful) speakers as well. Had I not demoed them against Revel, I may have ended up with a pair. They were awesome!

Anyone have any tips on tightening the binding posts on the back of the Olympica 3s ? I find them hard to tighten the spades properly at times since they are so close together....thanks

Paul

I have olympica III, and olympica center. Definitive Tech in-wall surrounds. Looking to add Atmos ceiling speakers. Should i stick with Def Tech or are there any other brands recommended to match? Looking to spend under $400 pair.

I would like to know more about this demo if you have time. I listened to the Olympica III last week and I liked them pretty well. It was a little hard to tell because the room was too small IMO and they sounded a little boomy. My personal room is much larger and will be fine.

I might demo the revels this weekend but it is a different dealer/room. I have two JL subs I plan to keep so bass below 50hz is not a priority.
