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?

HB 40.1 or 40.2s vs Spendor Classic 100s. 

Which do you prefer and Why?

I will take the earlier versions of the Spendor Classic series over Harbeth and many other speakers anytime. I have owned the 3/1, 7/1, and 1/2e (twice) which are currently my reference box speakers. I have heard the 40.1 and I do think they are a fine speaker, just not as neutral as the 1/2e in my opinion.

I sold my first set of 1/2e speakers in favor of he Audiokinesis Jazz Modules, the original version with TAD drivers. Arguably one of the finest speakers I ever heard, until I heard the Quad ESL 57. I realize an ESL is not a good match in a smallish room, but I made mine work in a 20 x 12 room as I do now with modified Acoustat 2 speakers.
@d2girls - Audiokinesis speakers are worth looking into. Duke Lejeune posts here and is a great source of information. If you are open to thinking outside the box a bit his speakers could be an option for you.

Why not ask almarg what he thinks? I believe his current speaker of choice is Daedalus. I'm sure Al could give you a very fair assessment of them and what is good to drive them. IMO.
