Daedalus Audio speakers - Muse or Muse studio

Does anyone have some opinions about these speakers? Please, do not flame me, but me and my significant other decided we wanted to change my Harbeths out for the Daedalus Audio Muse speakers. At least, thats the thinking, we are looking to get a more full range speaker for around ~10k USD. New or used. But he's zeroed in on the Muse as it suits his (mine too) aesthetic requirements and it does seem to be a more well rounded speaker, with a bigger cabinet that will certainly go lower (we still want to supplement with subs) and quite possibly a more cohesive midrange.
Any thoughts?

The only way to really know for sure is try to find a way to hear both speakers. There are members here (maybe they will chime in) who have moved in both directions--from Harbeth to Daedalus, and from Daedalus to Harbeth. I know of one member who moved from Harbeth to Daedalus, and then back to Harbeth.

Though I no longer own them, I am a big fan of Daedalus speakers, which are tonally pure, very musical, and simply beautiful to look at in your listening room on a day-to-day basis. I have no personal experience with Harbeth speakers, but a lot of folks here love them.

Good luck in making your decision.

I'd suggest speaking directly to Lou Hinckley about which of the 2 Muse options might better suit your listening tastes, room etc.; my personal experience dealing with Lou has been very favorable; he's approachable, patient, non-pushy, and is interested in you getting what works best for you. I have thoroughly enjoyed my Argos V2s. Best of luck whichever decision you make with Daedalus or otherwise

What do Athena's go for?

Over on A-Circle, you can sometimes find excellent deals on used Daedalus models.
