Daedalus

I heard his largest speakers at RMAF '07 playing with, I think it was, Art Audio low-powered SET amplification. It was one of my favorite rooms. The speakers were full range, coherent and very engaging. They did everything very well disappearing like ghosts and throwing a huge stage. I spent quite a bit of time listening in his room. I have not heard any other examples from his line though. Also notable is the cabinetry, which is superb. He uses solid woods and does just beautiful joinery, albeit very distinctive from expectations one may have from the seamless veneer finishes of most speakers.

I'm using a pair of DA-1.1's which is the largest speaker in the "whole house"/home theater line. What Jax2 says is true--the Daedalus speakers are really very special. The DA-RMa is intended for use in high quality two-channel systems. I'd give Lou a call to discuss--he is a straight shooter who will provide helpful guidance on your system needs regardless of whether it leads to a sale.

Thanks Jax and Dodge, appreciate the info! It seems tough to find anyone who owns or has heard the DA-RMa itself - I'm assuming it's similar overall in sound; I'll continue to research. I did contact Lou, he has been very helpful.

I am looking forward to a chance to hear this speaker as well as their larger Ulysses speaker. A friend of mine has heard the DA-RMa and he feels it is one of the best speakers he has heard. This has peaked my interest as I am looking for a relatively effecient speaker for my 18 watt monos.
