At the same price as the Olympica (when the latter’s matching stands are included), Vivid’s Oval V1.5 provides a starker comparison. These two two-way speakers wildly differ. The Vivids look space-age and avant-garde, as if they belong in a laboratory or a modern-art museum.”

The next track, “Within,” is significantly more complex, with heavily filtered vocals, piano work by Chilly Gonzales, and a variety of supporting instruments. All of which sounded really euphonic — it was easy for me to just hit Play, sink back into my couch, and take the track in. In terms of soundstaging, however, the Olympicas did sound a hair closed in.”
