Daedalus Awesome sound!

I love these  Daedalus cabinets hand built by Lou Hinkley in Washington State. I use the S-82 for live sound, as a no-compromise, extremely accurate, acoustic instrument sound system and stage monitor. I use a Hafler power amp and Duncan Turner pre amp. In Lou Hinkley’s own words….


“While our hardwood cabinets are beautiful, the choice of material is not purely aesthetic.  We use solid hardwood for the simple reason that it just sounds better than any other cabinet material.
Inside of any Daedalus speaker cabinet there is elaborate bracing, angled resonance controls, and of course the very best wire and electronics. Most of these systems use 8″ and 5″ drivers with powerful magnet assemblies in a tuned/ported enclosure and a specially designed two-way passive crossover. These speakers enable any pickup to produce a less sterile, more natural sound. The 8″ drivers provide tight solid bass down to 50hz, and the 5″ drivers smoothly handle the mids and highs to 16k hz. ”
