Any Daedalus Muse owners.. Need feedback.

I am looking forward to your visit, but remember, my DA-RMAs are 4 to 5 year old models, current spec models with the V2 upgrade are supposed to be better, not that I am not happy with mine as they are. Lou is your man to ask how my speakers would compare with the current Muse model.

I am sure you know about the Audiocircle site where Daedalus has it's own circle. If you haven't looked, do, it is a very useful source of information, from many Daedalus users.

Thanks David. I've heard about Audio Circle, but haven't looked in to it in depth. Ill do my homework on this. Thanks again.

The DA-RMA actually morphed into the Athena. Lou said he wanted to duplicate the DA-RMA as closely as possible in a single box package.
The Muse is similar, but does not use as expensive crossover parts as the poly and V2 versions of the pricier models.
That said, they have the Daedalus sound, using the same drivers and cabinet construction as all the models. I have found in my DA-RMA v2s a very satisfying balance of high end virtues and a total lack of vices. After 3 years I still can't wait to get home and spend time with them. They never fail to present music as an involving experience.

Jmbatkh, I have the polycap version of the DA-RMA's, but not the V2. I would love to go for the upgraded version, but transport costs over the Atlantic and back to Lou, make it prohibitive. Can you comment on the changes the V2 upgrade made. Thanks, David

Hi David,
I can only offer a partial answer. My DA-RMAs did not have the poly crossovers, so I did the poly and the V2 at the same time.
The focus and soundstage became much more open and clear, with greater transparency. It seemed to remove a lot of obfuscation in the spaces between instruments.
My friend Jon has poly Athenas that he upgraded to V2. The differences were similar, I think, but not to the same degree as mine. Others have written similar assessments. So maybe 40% of the improvement is the poly, 60% V2?
