TVAD, Should be fine. As I said it all depends on the amp. The Pass Labs will drive these or any other speaker beautifully! thanks, Lou

I'd say about 25-30amps but as always with specs it depends on the amp. 
High Current Monoblocks
Let me clarify the 'current' needs of the DA-1.1 etc. First they have a very stable curve @ 6ohms with a brief dip to a little over 4ohms @ 150hz and below that a rise to about 10ohms. As speakers go this is very smooth and easy for most amps to h... 
Advice on speakers?
There are a couple pair of used Daedalus DA-1 speakers that I know of, the owners upgraded to the DA-1.1 and are selling their previous DA-1's. I can put you in touch with them if you like. Once these are sold the chance of finding a used pair of ...

David, My speakers work best with amps which can deliver good current, a 20 watt amp with high current will outperform a 200 watt amp with low current. My older designs such as the original DA-1 needed more current than the DA-1.1 and other presen...

I haven't found the right magazine/reviewer yet for the DA-1.1. Any suggestions? 
Daedalus
Thanks for all the positive comments! There will be a review in Stereo Times in a couple of months on the DA-RMa. In regards the offset tweeters, the Ulysses does NOT have offset tweeters, there are two but they both are flush with the baffle. On ...

yes, i'll be in room 1030 as always, (the suite at the end of the hall 10th floor).we'll be using the Art/Gill Audio pre & DAC and Dynamic Design cables. i haven't decided on power amps yet but it will be high power tubes. Clayton plans to use... 
Review: Daedalus Audio Ulysses Speaker
there are a few reasons the speaker wasn't built without stand;1. that would have changed the cabinet volume/dimensions 2. the larger cabinet would have been much more expensive than the stands, it would have pushed some dimensions past a 'tipping... 
Review: Daedalus Audio Ulysses Speaker
the two tweeters in the DA-1.1 & 2.1 are primarily to widen the sweetspot. it's a tricky design process, maintaining a solid image while making the sweetspot room sized, this took a while to get right. ; )of course another benefit is higher ef... 
Need Some Help Choosing an Integrated Amp
the best integrated i know of is the Musical Fidelity A1008. stock it is excellent but there is a mod for it that brings every aspect including the DAC up to extreme high end. when the DAC is modded it is possibly one of the best DAC's available f...

Great review, i really appreciate the work it took to write such a thorough review, and thanks for so clearly stating the changes in the new version.btw, there is a new review up of the Daedalus Ulysses system at Positive Feedback.Lou 
Economics of small speaker manufacturers
one more side to this is that with all the pressure currently on brick & mortar stores it’s almost impossible for small speaker companies to build a dealer network. the big guys don’t want to see small companies directly competing with them in... 
Economics of small speaker manufacturers
isn’t the bottom line, what is the actual quality of the product? any piece of audio gear is more than the sum of it’s parts, i’ve heard pieces that had all the best components but did not have the sound. some large companies gear is well worth th... 
External DAC for Sony SCD-777ES
the Musical fidelity X-DAC v8 retails for $1500 and performs far beyond it's price point. i replaced my Tri-vista 21 with this, the X-dac images much better.i use a Sony 9000es as a transport, the dac sounds way better than the sony alone.
