Salk vs Daedalus Speakers


I am considering the Salk ss8 vs the Daedalus Audio Ulysses 2.
For power I would be using Audiovalve challenger 180 amps during the winter and Jeff Roland model 6 amps for summertime listening.
I listen to all types of music except rap; but mostly jazz, choir with organ, acoustic, classical and classic rock for when Pink Floyd comes around.
It seems both of these speakers get very high marks but I would like to hear from people who have had experiences with either.Regards in advance

I owned Salk SS10s, and now own Daedalus Ulysses (version 1).

I would describe the difference between the 2 as the difference between "Hi-Fi" and "Musical". Both speakers will reveal all that's on the recording, but to my ears, the Ulysses are more refined.

If you have a chance, I would also recommend you listen to Reference 3A. I will be moving to a smaller home in the near future, and the Ulysses won't fit in my new room. I picked up a pair of Reference 3A MM DeCapo BE monitors, and they give up very little to the Ulysses. PM if interested in more about my Ulysses.
