Daedalus Audio Apollos
There's an AC member (Aldcol) who owns the Daedalus Pan speakers who lives 20 minutes from me. He and I have been sharing ideas and equipment, and attending/hosting small G2Gs for a couple years now. The basic design of his Pans and my Apollos are similar in that they are three-way designs. The Apollos could be thought of as Pans on steroids.
Soundstage, resolution, clarity, and the almost horn-like sound quality just clinched me. The midrange is to die for - even worth risking my wife's wrath - LOL!
I listened to or auditioned more than 100 speakers over the last three years and had narrowed the list down to three or four models. Then, Aldcol and I drove up to Lou's showroom/workshop in Ferndale, WA last month for a five-hour listening session of 4 models. That's when I decided I could be happy with the Apollos.
They're not quite ready, but I won't have to wait long. Aldcol will babysit them for a spell and suffer the onerous task of breaking them in for me - poor guy.
