With my experience limited to shows, a short audition at Lou's workshop and an extended weekend home audition; I agree with the impressions of the other Daedalus owners and would add a couple of my own.
In MY system, the Ulysses' had plenty of high quality bass. I was impressed by the ability to follow the bass line but if you're looking for the last 1/2 octave with a 'physical' presence, this speaker may not be for you.
I would agree that the house sound does not emphasize pinpoint imaging. However, I found the imaging very natural and not hyperdetailed, which for me is fatiguing.
The noise floor was clearly lowered in my system.
People who are less enthusiastic about the brand would cite potential integration issues related to the use of multiple drivers. I did not detect this problem in my relatively small room, but can only speak to this with the Ulysses and not to any of the other speakers in the Daedalus line.
