information/feedback on dali speakers


haven't had a chance to hear them yet, but my dealer loves them! i'm particularly interested in the hellicon 800, hellicon c200, and hellicon m200 (can you tell this is for a 7.1 home theater?).

thanks for your thoughts!

I'm also considering Dali spks. I heard the Euphonia MS4s briefly and they were fabulous even driven by simple electronics - Pucini CDP and integrated amp.

My only concern is that with all this high resolution/detail, would you get easily fatigue after say 30 mins of listening. This can happen especially for hi-res systems with a touch too much treble. But if balanced with musical mids/bass, then this becomes less of a problem.

Any inputs those of you who are current users?
I match my Euphonia MS4s with a SS amp (Sim Titan) and a tube pre (VAC)/dac (Audio Note). Fatigue is not an issue for me. The only form of fatigue I get is walking up 10 feet to the transport and changing the CDs ;-) OK, I admit it, I'm a lazy spoiled bast***d!!!!

My aunt has the Helicons paired with a Musical Fidelity pre & amp and a Rega Jupiter CD player. The finish is to drool for. Performance is about 80% of the MS4 and it's less than half the price.
If anything, the Helicons are a teeny bit on the trebly side.

Let us lay to rest that Dali MS4's are bright.
First they must be broken in for a week or two, and that means driving them hard. (Huge difference in sound once broken in.)( Think two weeks.)
Second they prefer to my ears to be widely spaced and pointed straight forward as stated by Dali.
Third they sound best to me sitting farther from them then other speakers that I have heard. (Think two or three extra feet.) Also try tilting they back a bit for best integration as suggest by a reviewer I believe from TAS.
Bright!!!!!!! NO WAY!!!!!!! I can't stand bright or hard speakers. These are very liquid on top.
They are clean and clear and have all the bottom end that I need. They have great resolution, and I have not experienced any fatigue on good recordings. (Junk recordings sound like junk.)
If you hear bright you have a source problem.
Thanks for the responses Jose and Zilla

One other thing, can the MS4 play rock? Also can it handle dynamic peaks of orchestral music?
