Daedalus Audio Vs. Kef


HI, I'm looking at upgrading my current speakers. I have the Kef R700 and use them with the Odyssey Tempest preamp and Khartago stereo amp. What I'm hoping for is for some comments by anyone that has heard the lower cost Daedalus models and the Kef R series regarding how they feel they compare and/or differ in overall sound quality. I'm not likely to be able to easily audition Daedalus, so any thoughts you might have would help. Thanks very much.

I own the DARMAs too, not the V2 version(yet). I have heard Kef reference range on many occasions and they are very good, but not in the same league as Daedalus, at least not at a comparable price. They are neutral very dynamic and transparent.

You have the advantage of direct sales, cutting out Distributor and retailer, which must make up at least 50% of a conventional, dealer stocked speaker. They are good anyway, but the price makes them a steal. There are many owners around, particularly in the States, happy to demo. You can contact Lou to find someone near you.
