After attending a few CES shows, I will be attending RMAF for the first time this year. The rooms are seemingly all pretty good in terms of size and acoustics and the list of manufacturers that will have products on display is awesome. I expect to visit many rooms with great sound and surely there will be some technically fascinating products to look at.
That being said, after loving a pair of Daedalus DA-1's for the last two years, driven by a Modwright LS36.5 pre/SWP9.0 phono and a pair of Dodd 120 mono's, I am most interested in listening to the new Daedalus speakers, especially the Ulysses, a pair of which I which I have on order with Lou. I've heard some incredible things about them, the Ulysses in particular, including one behind the scene speaker designer who has heard them and said they were the speakers he would buy right now regardless of cost. For a guy who helps design six figure speakers, that is a compliment if I ever heard one.
I'm not sure of the rationale behind the unusual offset tweeter arrangement or the new crossover design Lou is using, but if it is a giant leap over what I have, I can't wait to hear his room. It is where I will go first.
Look forward to meeting many of you in a few days.
