DALI Speakers (Denmark)
« on: Apr 10, 2005 at 11:57 PM »
DALI Loudspeakers Are Here!!!




Danish Audiophile Loudspeaker Industry grew out of Scandinavia’s leading audio retail chain in 1983, when the staff realized that customers often requested combinations of size, shape, performance and price that existing brands could not deliver. Driven by raw enthusiasm and unbridled optimism, DALI set out to build those loudspeakers.

Constant monitoring of consumer feedback and close attention to the real needs of the music lover and home cinema enthusiast continue to form the basis of DALI’s expansion and success in countries around the globe.

Explosive growth worldwide and a reputation for quality, reliability and integrity, DALI offers an exciting range to suit every taste from the cost-conscious Concept series to the ultimate performance speaker the MegaLine. DALI achieves a new level of sophistication in loudspeakers that are as attractive to the eye as they are to the ear.

Located in the beautiful rural countryside in the heartland of Denmark, DALI’s laboratory, factory and warehouse occupy 18,000 square meters including cabinet making, spray paint shop and state of the art research and development facilities equipped with the most advanced technologies available.

The artists, artisans, craftsmen, technicians and engineers who make up the DALI team are naturally inspired by the long Scandinavian tradition of fine furniture craftsmanship as well as the Danish academic tradition of theoretical research in the acoustic sciences. By combining these two distinguished traditions, DALI has mastered the art of creating high performance loudspeakers with elegant exterior design that also contributes to their sound quality.  Because standard, off-the-shelf drivers cannot live up to DALI’s strict requirements, drivers are designed from scratch by DALI engineers in close collaboration with top engineers from some of the world’s leading driver manufacturers.

Acknowledging the importance of pride of workmanship, DALI abolished assembly line production years ago, replacing them with one or two-person workstations where the workers take personal responsibility for the assembly, testing and packing of every speaker. As a result, each DALI speaker carries a label with the builder’s signature to state that visual, audio as well as electro acoustic inspection and test has been performed successfully.

This unswerving commitment to excellence shines through in every DALI loudspeaker.

In Admiration of Music.

Six Important DALI Sound Design Principles




DALI designs drivers and crossovers to produce wide, even sound dispersion,
resulting in outstanding room integration, a larger sweet spot and a wider
listening area.



The unique DALI drivers, optimised cabinets and carefully tuned crossovers
ensure optimal time coherence in the reproduced sound.



DALI’s time coherence and low-loss technologies create a transparent,
holographic, three-dimensional soundstage.



DALI’s linear impedance design ensures an audible reduction of amplifier
instability and coloration.



Specially designed cabinets reduce resonances and coloration of the
sound for natural, realistic sound.



Hand crafted from the fitting of the cabinet to final electro- acoustic
testing, each and every speaker is personally approved and signed
by the person who assembled it.

HELICON SERIES (Made in Denmark)

Helicon 300 (US SRP $2,995)



Dali Helicon 300 - The Obvious Choice!!

Helicon 300 emphasizes musical involvement, not analytical examination of
fragmented aspects of the music by a board of inquiry with the zealousness
of a meddling tax inspector. Yet its style is still both engaging and detailed.
With its exclusive design, Helicon 300 is all in all a serious contender in its
price range that definitely should be heard as well as seen, if you are
considering investing in loudspeakers at this price point.
- www.hifi4all.dk



Helicon 400 (US SRP $4,300)


GOLDEN EAR AWARD 2004


COMPONENT OF THE YEAR (2004), Stereo Sound, Japan



It definitely belongs on the list of the most exciting loudspeakers
in its price range,
Lyd & Bilde (Sound & Image) Magazine, Norway, no. 12, 2003

If Danish speakers are anywhere as good as their famous Danish cookies, then they must be worth it.   ;D

Sir,

I was one of your customer buying for a Monitor audio and have told me of this Speakers.

Get hold of my plan and wait for the DALI.

Remember?  Anyway what is your initial assessment?

Can I have your initial review.

Cheers.

Hi Sir,

Thank you for your interest in Dali Speakers.

Our initial impression (1st 2 hours) of the concept series is quite positive: Highs are smooth, detail is very good, and most importantly, they are musical. They look good to boot as well :) :) :)

Monitor Audio and Dalis are good speakers.  Like everything in audio, it boils down to personal preference.  We encourage all of you to go around and listen to various speakers and purchase the one that will make you enjoy music and movies more.  This is what it should be all about, having fun  :) :) :)

We look forward to seeing you soon!  :) :) :)

Hi! How about the subs, the Concept in particular? Any first impressions compared with Usher and Velodyne CHT10/10R? (I was there last March to audition some subs?) Thanks!

Hi Gaol,

Unfortunately, the Concept Sub we ordered was stolen.  We only ordered one unit for testing purposes so we have nothing left for auditioning.  It would have been nice to hear a 12" sub for 21k.  Sayang.

If you hear someone selling a Concept sub, kindly let us know, hehe  ;D ;D ;D

Looking at the bright side of things, the Suite sub (12" 200W P32,600) was not stolen.  We are still breaking it at the moment. You can surely listen to this here at the store.

See you guys soon!

Cheers  :)

So sad and sorry to hear about your loss! If I hear anything, will let you guys know.

Will visit sometime this month to check out the suite sub.

Levi,

We tried the Suite 2.8 with a 20watter SET (Mastersound) and it was able to drive them nicely.  In fact, our client who has a Mastersound bought the speakers on the spot :) :) :)
