Daedalus Ulysses

I own a pair of Daedalus Poseidon, but have listened to most of Lou speakers when I went to visit him except for the Zeus, I came from Blades , Magnepan 1.7i and another couple of other speakers listened to and auditioned plenty , if I ever do replace my Poseidon would be with either with the Apollo 11 or Trenner & Friedl "Pharoah " or the Tidal Akira Speakers which maybe way out of what I want to spend on Speakers the cheaper option may be the T & F Pharoah which go for between 8K to 13K and are very musical But so far I am very happy with what I have they probably image best in my room , tonally yes ! very accurate crisp & articulate yes ! you can, not only distinguish between cymbals but even layers of different instrument! providing if you do have the right electronics , Plasticy Bass ??? no way! but true it does lack a bit of bass but when Bass is there in the recording you can feel the vibration right on your sitting position , I for one prefer not to use a subwoofer although own a Dr. Hsu VTF MK11 with a15 " paper woofer I use the Sub for HT which is a totally different system from my two channel listening. Ask to audition the speakers with someone living close to you or call Lou most people seem to like the new 10 " woofer on the Apollo series I for some reason prefer the two 8" woofers I think they are pretty fast tonally accurate and just about the right Bass when I play Mahler Symphony 7 with Ivan Fischer or my favorite test recording of Bach Sonatas & Partitas by Giulano Carmignola the Violin sounds so realistic even the plucking the strings with bow you can feel it and hear the crispy ness I also tend to agree they may not be 97.5 efficient but have no  problem driving them with low power tube amps.

Here's link to partime audipophile's impressions for Daedalus Apollo room

I own the Ulysses V2 after owning the Wilson Sophia 1. I found these both to have very similar characteristics in their sound: balanced, high clarity and transparency, great sound staging. But the Daedalus had a greater "presence" and realism that was immediately apparent. I think that they really deliver on the "holographic" or "3D" aspect of sound that they claim to have. A clear winner for me. 

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.

Saw the Studio Muse in one of the standard size rooms at CAF. Really sounded good. Not sure what it was paired with. Have to go back and look at my notes. The larger room down stairs which had the Apollo’s in it was not as impressive as the Studio Muse room. Could have been the room for sure. It was a lot of space to pressurize.
