Daedalus Audio Vs. Kef


HI, I'm looking at upgrading my current speakers. I have the Kef R700 and use them with the Odyssey Tempest preamp and Khartago stereo amp. What I'm hoping for is for some comments by anyone that has heard the lower cost Daedalus models and the Kef R series regarding how they feel they compare and/or differ in overall sound quality. I'm not likely to be able to easily audition Daedalus, so any thoughts you might have would help. Thanks very much.

As a Daedalus Ulysses owner, I'll third the comments by Jazdoc and Dodgealum. In particular, I can't imagine that you would be disappointed in the timbral characteristics or tonal richness of any of the Daedalus models, assuming that they are not compromised by the recording or by your electronics. And the fact that they are exceptionally easy to drive would help minimize the latter possibility. Dynamics, as has been said, as well as transient response and "speed," are also excellent.

Regarding Lou's 30 day return policy, the specifics are described near the bottom of this page.

Regarding the question about the soft dome tweeter, IMO the related comments by Doug Schroeder on the first and third pages of his review in Dagogo are spot on.
