All our systems have excellent bass extension, while still being exceptionally tight and detailed. I opted to not sacrifice clarity just to get the lowest octave, (20hz - 40hz) , a range that's often better handled by a separate sub. My clear priority has been to reproduce quick lifelike transients and harmonics in music, to this end I use a driver with a light/stiff paper cone and powerful motor to be very accurate in the musical range. In 1994 i designed this driver for live acoustic instrument amplification, and it has been acclaimed as the 'holy grail' of acoustic sound. Over the years I have refined this driver to be an ideal speaker for reproducing the dynamics and subtleties of live and recorded music.
Don't get me wrong, these speakers will shake the walls, (they rock the concrete slab here!). Most Daedalus owners do not use a sub, many removing their sub when they installed the Daedalus, but we've had excellent results using subwoofers with our speakers for applications where bass extension flat to 20hz is desired. (our normal system response depending on the model is -3db @ 27hz -35hz) . Because the bass is so smooth and dynamic an added sub tuned in @ 28hz - 35hz can be seamlessly tailored to the room.

.(run the Daedalus speakers full range and use a separate pre-amp output for the sub)

In a nutshell the philosophy here is to make our speakers as musical as possible and if you want extreme bass near the limits of hearing then you can add a good subwoofer and have it all without compromise.
