I have a pair of Daedalus Zeus speakers designed and build process that took longer to attain than my current partner. In other words, she was not in my life to be a part of the decision process. On arrival - why do they have to be so big? So 70's! Couldn't you have chosen a lighter wood? I bet you paid 30K for them. I cant wait until we downsize and I can finally get rid of these.
Regardless they produce the most beautiful sound I have ever experienced anywhere. She prefers the ease of streaming into her Iphone speaker. (Ouch).
May wish to mention relationships are about compromise. Lou makes some amazing small speakers that sound very similar to the Zeus.
