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 tweeter isn’t aligned with the mid range on the muse! So avoid the Muse but the other designs would be a good choice for a louder speaker with more bass. You must audition though.
What’s wrong if the tweeter isn’t alinged?
Pretty sure audition isn't possible 
If you like the sound of the Harbeths you should try to audition the Devore loudspeakers which are also quite rich and midrange oriented.

D2girls you are in Canada, you should seek out Gershman Acoustics they are also in Canada and they are also very smooth and musical loudspeakers with superb bass response.

Eli Geshman is a very talented designer and they might be able to custom tailor their loudspeakers for your room. 

No matter what anyone tells you you need to listen to the speakers in person and better yet try a set in your room. That might be impossible with a carriage manufactuturer like Dadelius. 

Lastly you shouldn't beat your selfup about the Harbeths they are very good speakers and they are very stunning and musical, they will be super easy to sell. 

The only issue that you haven't addressed is what kind of electronics you are driving the Harbeths with. Perhaps the electronics are not driving the Harbeths well and the resulting bass control is not what is working for you.

The stereo imaging won’t be quite as good as vertically aligned drivers.

If you can’t audition then don’t buy.

Speakers are the biggest variable in an audio system.

Every speaker ever reviewed seems to garner positive reviews. Reviews are often meaningless. Get out there and listen!

Stereophile or Soundstage measurements can quickly tell you which speakers to avoid (most speakers unfortunately have weaknesses) but that won’t help you make that final critical decision on what you like!

Commonly available popular brands - you should audition at least 7 or 8 out of these before plonking down 10K:-

B&W
Focal
Wilson
Revel
Kef
Dynaudio
Martin Logan
Monitor
Totem (Canadian)
Paradigm (Canadian)

Many of these have issues within their extensive line up but most have at least one or two models that hit it out of the park or come very close.

You can’t become an audiophile in 1 year. It takes years of experience and critical listening skills often come only with time (10,000 hour rule applies). 

Initially most buyers go for something with sizzle - big bass and emphasized treble (95% of speakers cater to this market) - attention grabbing speakers. Those who make it to a higher discerning level will gravitate towards speakers that sound balanced and totally natural and convey the true dynamics of live music (these speakers do not draw attention to themselves).

I think you you will be surprised at how much you will lose when you move away from Harbeth. It is far from perfect in the bass but Harbeth really do the mid range superbly and that is 80% of your music.
