i am using dali grand coupes, and imho, these may be the finest stand mounts available. they aren't the last word in treble, but the sheer heft of the bass and the transparency of the mids is astounding. they are pricey-- around 3g's, but not much touches them in that price range. i'm surprised that there's so little discussion of these speakers on audiogon... maybe due to the fact that they are new to the states...
Who is using Dali Speakers?
I heard the model 4 Dali speakers with Classe CDP, preamps and CAM 350 mono blocks and I was really not impressed. Today I am going to hear the model 5s from a reviewer who is telling me that these are the real thing (alot more $$$ than the 4s).
He is advising me that the 4s were probably not properly set up and that placement is 70% or more the issue of great sound. I think he is correct as the 4s were just moved out into the room with no specific placement and no spikes. I under stand the spike issue as I have tried a few on my B&W matrix 803s but the 4s really seemed rolled off completely and very boxy sounding. The sound was not musical at and they had no dynamics.
Any thoughts from Dali owners?
Thanks and Happy Listening.
