Acoustic Zen Crescendo Mk2 or Daedalus Ulysses v2

Hi, wanting to replace my old Legacy Audio Signature II towers. Yes, I know the new Legacys are a very good option, but wanting to try something different now.

My priorities are a big, open, uncompressed presentation with prodigious but controlled bass. I want some serious dynamic impact on percussive transients. Needs to be a versatile speaker, as it will be used for both music and home theater. I have plenty of amp power for pretty much any speaker.

I've read stellar reviews of both the Ulysses and Crescendo as having the qualities I am looking for. Does anybody have experience with both?

Mtrot I think if you ask dealers you will get some great discounts, we have always been better than buying direct from AZ and yes we know he sells direct into areas where there are no dealers.
Call around and give some dealers a try.

yes, I actually have a pair of Audience 82 in the bedroom system,but I don't crank them very loud because my wife is usually in there with me, so I really haven't been able to get a good feel for whether they're going to have the sound I would like in the family room. Also I don't know which Dynaudio model I would have to get in order to Compare to my Legacys.

Geez, there are SO many great options out there, and now I have read reviews and user reports about another speaker that force me to give it strong consideration. It is the Vapor Audio Nimbus. Dang, great drivers by Acuton, RAAL, and that 15 inch woofer, great cabinet and crossovers! And the cost is lower than the other options. From the reviews, it may be the sort of speaker I am looking for.
