Daedalus

I don't know of anyone who has much experience with all four models. I can try to succinctly and honestly comment on the differences and value of the different models if you'd like?
I know that people don't generally like to hear from the manufacturer unless requested, and I try to respect that.
thanks,
Lou

I auditioned the DA-RMa and Ulysses at Lou's workshop. Obviously, this was a limited audition in an unfamilar system. For me, the increased refinement and authority were worth the difference in price and I bought the Ulysses.

Price is a consideration, but for me, size is more important. The Ulysses is'nt enormous by modern standards, it is still too big to get passed my eagle eyed wife. It is 4 inches taller, I believe than the DA 1.1. I would love to go for the Ulysses, it just is'nt going to happen, it would tend to overpower my room

Thanks Lou. Both the offer and the gracious manner in which it is made are rare and most appreciated. I would certainly love to hear your take on all models. My wildest hope was to find a few individuals who may have heard two models each, so I could sample comments pairwise. To hear a systematic summary of what each model can or cannot do would be just super.

There is a review of the Ulysses in latest issue of Bound for Sound. It is a nice but nor particularly glowing review.
