Daedalus Athena


Hi I have been shopping for speakers and Daedalus Athena got my attention recently. I've never auditioned Daedalus speakers before and wonder how they sound? I saw quite a few posts on this forum that compared Daedalus and Devore. How would you compare the sound of Daedalus Athena with the other non high-efficiency speakers (used) in the same price range?

Thank you tpreaves! I did check out the Daedalus circle. Like you said, a lot of information there. But the discussions always seemed to be around Daedalus and Devore or SET amp matching. I didn't see any posts that compare Devore or Daedalus with the 'traditional' design speakers like Wilson, Focal, Sonus Faber..., etc. Very interested in knowing if anybody has experience on both sides can share their experience. 

Thank you, jazdoc and pdreher! 

How would you describe the sonic differences betwen Daedalus/Devore and the traditional box speakers? 

Thank you all for sharing your experience. That helps a lot!! I was guessing Magico would be classified as the more analytical speaker when I posted my question. And I think I am confirming my assumption now. Has anybody paired Daedalus speakers with solid state amps? I'm thinking about getting a pair of Daedalus but would like to keep my electronics (Hegel H200 integrated, Hegel HD25 DAC). Thoughts?
