Nightfall,
I've recently heard a system that had Olympica 2's paired with a pass xp-10 preamp and the xa100.5 mono's, I know you have the 3's but this was a very nice combo.
Plenty of pwr with a very nice engaging midrange and too end with excellent control and no bloat whatsoever on the bottom end.
The owner is a friend in our local audio club and he was a longtime tube guy for many years and he is totally satisfied with the sound,other than upgrading to the 3's someday.
The Olympica's are not a easy load for a Amp I personally would stay away from tubes,just my opinion.
The pass gear would be easier to sale just in case you needed to sale it,just a thought.
Kenny.
