Daedalus Ulysses

Well, I have to be real here. I'm sure the Apollo is a wonderful speaker but spending $23,000 for a pair is not possible for me. What I would be concerned with is the ability of the Ulysses to produce the tonally accurate, crisp and articulate sound of a cymbal played delicately. I want to be able to discern one cymbal timbre from another. Can they do that?

Interesting comment salectric, Can you expound upon your comment? Not sure I get what you mean by "plastic-sounding coloration". I do appreciate all comments favorable or unfavorable.

Ha! Sorry for that, give me the cliffs notes version if you can. Thanks salectric!

I really appreciate the feedback from everyone including salectric and Thom. Everyone’s comments have been very helpful and given me a lot to think about. I only learned recently that some people love cilantro and others absolutely hate it. People that hate it have a particular gene that causes it to taste like soap to them (I’m one of those). So, do genes affect our predisposition to certain types of sound generation? I don’t know, but we all know that no two of us are alike and that creates a marketplace for equipment. My take away from this is that tried and true lesson that we should all adhere to which is try before you buy. Thanks again everyone.

Anyone care to comment on Daedalus from Capital Audio Fest? I saw a few references in other threads.

Thanks facten, see that’s my concern; they demo with their subs and I really don’t want to deal with subs. My biggest concern is low end performance which I can only barely grasp through youtube videos which I know are lacking. I really like the realism of the Daedalus sound though.
