Hello, blindjim.
I won't try to dissuade you from the Poseidons, but I'd like to direct your attention to the new Daedalus Apollo speakers. I spent a good five hours comparing the Argos, Poseidons, and Apollos in Lou's workshop/showroom about a month ago. After discussing my particular listening room characteristics, we decided the Apollos would best fit my needs with the Argos coming in a close second. The Apollos use the new 10" driver in in the three-way configuration common to the Muse and the Pan.
I chose Apollos on the spot. I had spent the previous three years searching for 'the' pair of speakers. I'd come close a couple times, but with this pair I felt confident that I wouldn't fall out of love with them after a couple years. Until the Apollos came into my world, I had been inclined to settle for Salk Exotica speakers. I heard these at Axpona 2014, so I know how they sound. The Exoticas and the Apollos are similarly priced.
Next down on my list would be the AZ Crescendos, but their price tag is higher.
Best of luck with your search.
Michael
