DALI IKON 6
Knowing & seeing  the speaker thru picture & net (new talk of the town soon to be flavor of the year), I was able to see & hear the unit at AA. My first impression is like: meeting Diana Krall in person, very nice design from head to foot (literally).
I am not fan of floorstanding speakers because of my mid-bass (Voice) preference, for me my impression with mid level floorstanding speakers sound too boomy & unrealistic mids (just me) of course Sonus etch are in different category. IKON 6 was erase those impression, mids are to die for! AIR presence was there maybe because of the Ribbon it was very accurate treble unrestricted without any grain/edge.
I was there with somebody auditioning the system (maybe he's esi) I feel the AMBIANCE of sound produced, you can feel the spatial and wide soundstage of an ensemble recording.
If your looking for a mid level floorstanding speakers, and looking for this Qualities: PRESENCE, COHERENCE, correct TONAL BALANCE etch, you can never go wrong with the DALI 6. For the price? (48K) you will feel like listening to a 100K speaker system.

My only comment is availability of darker colors, any that's not related to the sounds hehehe.

Hey odyopayl,

Were you the one who brought in an unfinished D.I.Y. tube amp? If that was you then ako nga yun. Had I not been in a hurry I could have got your personal opinion as well. Hope to see you again.

Hi esi,

Based on epoy's info, the remaining two pair stocks was already reserved. September might be the right time, hehehe. I like your reference CD's can you PM the albums & where to buy?

[Superman]

first of all, thanks to epoy, nico and "chick-boy" chadd for accomodating me yesterday (sa wakas, nakapag-audition na rin!!!)

i had a chance to audition side by side the DALI Ikon 6 and the DALI Concept 6 as i was curious on how "different" they are, also wanted to know the strengths of both...

the following equipment/software used were:

SPEAKERS: Dali Ikon 6 anf Concept 6

SOURCE: Usher CDP

AMPLIFIER: Mighty Mike's Turbo-Charged Push-Pull 6550 Amplifier

CABLES/IC: Silver IC, Dali Speaker Cables

SOFTWARE: Best Audiophile Voices II, Kenny Rankin's Haven't We Met




With the Ikon 6 hooked-up, we immediately played "Haven't We Met" by Kenny Rankin since this is one of my favorite tracks and am very familiar with how it sounds in my current system...i liked what i heard, refined, musical, detailed, bass will still improve (with more hours of break-in) but already tight considering it's out of the box...especially noticed the extension of the highs, not ear-piercing, aaaaahhh the sound of ribbon tweeters...major strength of the Ikon 6 (IMHO) is the mids...music "floats" in the air and will definitely "fill" your room...




after a few tracks, same volume level in the amp, the Concept 6 was hooked up...very noticeable is the "louder" sound...seems that the Concept 6 is more sensitive...we played the same Kenny Rankin Track...i can now hear the "price difference" between the Ikon 6 and the Concept 6...then we moved to Best Audiophile Voices II, aaahhhh...sweet vocals...had to close my eyes to feel the music...soothing voice of Corrine May and Eva Cassidy...honestly, this is an excellent pair of speakers for its price...i even mentioned to the AA guys that i like the Concept 6 vs. the Monitor Audio S6 (but that's me)...you can't find a pair of speakers sounding this good with this price tag...pang best buy category sa what hi-fi 'to!...i believe that the Concept 6 has a lot of potential especially after 200-hours...paired with a good amp and CD player, this will also "fill" your room with good music......and yes, the Concept 6 is a warm-sounding floorstander...

these are my impressions in my 1-hour audition yesterday at AA...thanks again!


PS: I wonder how the Concept 6 will sound vs. the Wharfedale Diamond 9.6 vs. the Monitor Audio B4

There you said it keep the ball rolling. I REALLY would want to know how each would fair against the other. With your vast influences and connections, Jen you might want to organize a mini shootout. Wouldn't that be something. It would settle my concerns once and for all. (ESP DALI Concept 6 vs. Wharfdale 9.6) Mapapabilis na tuloy and decision making ko. Keep me posted ha JEN?
