That A is huge and the Oliv E even bigger being a gut core.. For an E to match the Oliv A you need something dark sounding and thick. For a long string I assume you need for the C-Extension. Then I would say Original Flexocor. The Stark 92 E/C would have been my choice but they discontinued it. The Original Flatchrome E/C is my second choice. Thicker but brighter.
If just using the G and D Oliv, you can try the Eudoxa A and E/C. That works well too. I've used that myself.
All this depends on the bass and how it sounds.
