Acoustic Zen Crescendo Mk2 or Daedalus Ulysses v2


Hi, wanting to replace my old Legacy Audio Signature II towers. Yes, I know the new Legacys are a very good option, but wanting to try something different now.

My priorities are a big, open, uncompressed presentation with prodigious but controlled bass. I want some serious dynamic impact on percussive transients. Needs to be a versatile speaker, as it will be used for both music and home theater. I have plenty of amp power for pretty much any speaker.

I've read stellar reviews of both the Ulysses and Crescendo as having the qualities I am looking for. Does anybody have experience with both?

Both are great speakers. And I have heard both at shows, but I associate neither with these desires: "a big, open, uncompressed presentation with prodigious but controlled bass. I want some serious dynamic impact on percussive transients."

They aren't slouches in those areas, but I'd look at other speakers if those are your priorities. Volti comes to mind. As does the Vapor Nimbus.
