What’s your opinion about Dali speakers?

They definitely have their own signature sound to my ears. I have extremely limited experience, I owned a pair of Ikon MK 2 for about 5 months or so. Pleasing, a bit thin sounding to me in the upper bass, lower mids. Sound was clean but lackluster. Detail was good, had, for lack of a better word, kind of a 'light' sound to me,  just not quite as ’musical’ as other brands I’ve owned.

Owner of the Dali Epicon 2 with Dali stands. I've driven them with Class A/B, Class D and Class A tube and SS amps. All high quality. The best I've heard them are with Class A tubes. 

I have always described them  as, "they do every right, but nothing outstanding". They shine at >70-75 dB. They drop off quickly at low volumes despite power. They have some of the best bass for a 2-way speaker and very flexible in positioning. They are a great blue-collar speaker. I do recommend them in a 10k system. Naturally Epicon 6 and 8's give you the option of the ribbon tweeter.  I've never missed it with it's current tweeter. 

Currently, I have them in my second system driven with a NAD MV10 V2. Most recently drove them with the Synthesis A40 (magical). Originally compared them to the Dynaaudio Heritage and B&W (?) And I chose the Dali. 

If you have further questions, please do not hesitate.

The new Dali Rubikore speakers are actually better than the 10 year old outgoing Epicon (less than half the price in most instances).  Aside from the cabinet design of course.  Although the new Rubikore finishes are gorgeous, it is still a "box."

We encourage anyone whos latest Dali experience is with 10+ year old speakers to listen to current models when comparing to other current models.  ;)

The RUBIKORE line does appear outstanding on paper. Currently using Epicon 6s that are about twelve years old. My electronics, cables, etc., are finally up to their performance level.

Elliot Midwood of Acoustic Image in Studio City, Ca. has been selling Dali speakers since forever. Every time I've been to his place they always sounded fabulous. Yes, he carries other brands but he told me they just sound so much like the real thing and he's played in an orchestra and advises others on how to achieve the best sound they can. 

He even has a Remington that he cast himself from an original (the bucking horse with rider). His talents are many and refined.

All the best,
