I tried to check out the Soul Note A3 website and all I got was pop ups for cookies and no way to reject them!

Do you have a better link with US prices?

If you can’t afford the Soul Note A3 they make the Soul Note A2 Integrated amp😈What they look like inside...

I love these new Dali EpiKore 11 speakers even better than the Dali KORE speakers. The Imaging and Tonality are better and are two of the most important qualities of speakers. 😍🤩Dali EpiKore 11's might be on backorder for a very long time.

All new Dali EpiKore 11 Speakers with this Mcintosh Gear for me !

Could the new Dali Epikore 11 speakers be my next and last speakers I will ever buy ? 🤔 Were these speakers the real Best-Of-Show winner at Munich 2023 show ?..🤔Many thought the Dali Kore speakers were Best-Of-Show at Munich 2022 Show ! Will Dali rule the speaker world with this all new Kore Technology they are using now ?..🤔

Yes the Clarisys was one of the best... but... at a price.  

There were several great systems displayed there... but... most were beyond the means of most folks...

However... there were two... modestly priced systems in particular that had superb sound quality:

1. Cabasse Rialto - really great sound for the money...

2. SVS Wireless Pro system - really great sound for the money...

After all... that’s really the practical side of such shows... what get’s you 90% of the sound quality of the best for a practical price - albeit for a smaller setting....

These were 2 of the best...

The all new AudiaZ Opera Grandezza speakers were right up there with the top of the line Kharma speakers and the Big MBL’s !! 🤔😎

@bill_k yup absolutely correct the only best is determined by your own set of ears👂

You'd think after all of these posts it would be apparent that there is no one "best" in any product category. It comes down to a subjective choice and we all have different preferences. There are endless product claims declaring theirs as the best but that doesn't make them true.

If you was to order the $120K Dali Kore Flagship speakers today they would put you on a long waiting list..big demand for these Dali Kore speakers at $120K a pair here in the USA ! It's been over a year and they still haven't filled all the orders yet for the Dali KORE speakers ! They say you get most of the performance of the Dali Kore speakers at half the cost with their new $60K Dali EpiKore 11 speakers. You might be waiting for a long long time to get your new Dali EpiKore 11 speakers...🤔🤨

For clarification: I built the speakers myself, which gave me the opportunity to create my own color scheme: "Lexus- Pearlwhite", painted by my local MAACO store.

 

Funny that no one is mentioning the Linkwitz LX521.4MG, which were shown in their own room at the Munich HiFi De Luxe venue: https://linkwitz.store/blog/2023/02/05/hifi-deluxe/ This a pure analog system rather that just speakers, incorporating two active crossovers for frequency separation into 4 separate segments, optimized for the respective response curves of each of the 4 speaker cones, plus a 5-channel amplifier per side (2 channels drive both subs separately), i.e. 10 (!) amplifiers total. Most importantly, the price of the entire system is still a fraction of the IO Design open-baffle speakers (23,000 Euro for a fully-assembled speaker pair, but much less for a flat-pack kit a la IKEA), which, acc to Rick2000 (above) cost quite a bundle: "These IO Design Naked RS Loudspeakers are $120K a pair and they will cost a little more here in the USA though..."

I own this system for many years now and am always deeply happy once - after a long day - I listen to some of my favorite tunes. The spacial presentation and accuracy are really special. And NO: I am in no way affiliated with LinkwitzAudio (albeit, the late Siegfried was a friend). But: I have agreed to open my house to interested parties who want to hear the system before taking the plunge: https://linkwitz.store/blog/2023/01/20/new-linkwitz-lounge-in-fremont-ca/

And again: NO I am not making any money from this!

Audiogon members: welcome to Silicon Valley!

I was going to say... Dali, seriously??  Hahahaha.

OK, being less of an inane A'gon jerk, Dali has models with a greatly lifted treble response.  Great at low level listening, and in a 10 minute listening session and ear grating after.

Purchasing any modern Dali should be done with some care and consideration. If it sounds like you are hearing things no other speaker can do... it's definitely not because it's a neutral performer.

@rick2000 and you know this how? The speaker will not even be out until August of this year!

Almost all of the YouTube reviewers show the same rooms and equipment. I feel that they are passing up some hidden nuggets in between these cost no object rooms. I would like to see more variety, something that the average person would consider buying.

New Dali Epicore 11 at $40K but will cost more here in the USA.. Very 3D Sounding !😲

I like these better than the bigger $120K Dali Kore Flagship speakers ! Real Shocker

WOW.. REAL SHOCKER the "PROAC K-1's" was the best Monitor speakers at Munich 2023 beating out the Highly Highly Raved TAD Monitors that all the Audio Reviewers say are the Holy Grail of all Monitors ! 

While I can agree ProAc speakers sounded nice, I was  astounded by the Devore's o baby. Those speakers present the music in a beautiful manner, they were so engaging, inviting ... really big applause to John Devore

 

Thomas Grimm said these $8K KMD 500RT Speakers from South Korea are some of the best speakers he’s heard at the Munich Show..for the last 5 years ! 😲🤔Look in the comments below...

I wish the guy in the Perlisten video would keep is greasy fingers off the speakers.

@rick2000 

Was Goebel there with their speakers? How did they compare to the others you have listed?
