Frank Harvey Hi Fi Excellence

 Speak indeed, so the doll is Spectre like The Spectre one. It'S quite a deceptive speaker. In my opinion, it produces a much larger sound than you perhaps think that it would be capable of the spectre. 2 features a 5 and quarter-inch driver in there, which is made from the wood fiber material, as most Dali speakers do, use that speaker, driver and then the 25 mil tweeter is heads at the top

I, on top and phone coffee excellence today we're going to be talking about Dali, Specter speaker. This is from their latest range, which was released in 2017. The specter twos are a 5 star. What product they priced around 199 pounds retail value, meaning the very good value

 So - and I have realized that one of demoed these, because against things like you acoustic, 30, 20s for example, the spectre-2 seemed to have a lot more detail and just seemed to give a much more control and finished delivery. In my opinion, so the dolly Specter 2 features a soft dome tweeter and that's based around a very ultra lightweight fabric, which has been weaved and Darla saying. This is going to deliver a more powerful performance and they also mentioned that it delivers the like a best-in-class performance in terms of the resolution of the high frequencies. Another thing that the soft don't we is tend to adversities or the materials because they have a much larger dispersion

 It is a wood fibre cone and the way that that works is it's a mix of a low mass paper cone with a wood fiber added into that and Dolly said that the wood fibre built into that gives the driver an uneven surface, which, in theory, helps With resonance from the cone, so it's there's a lot less of that. So therefore, the drivers got a lot more control when it's pushing the air and sending the music out into the room, and essentially, what that's going to give is a more detailed.

Dali Spektor 2 Bookshelf Speakers Review and Demonstration

 The vocals are right there. You can reach out and touch them. They are dead center and sound as if you might feel the wind from their breath. I believe it is this accuracy at the highest of highs of our very limited hearing spectrum that brings these vocal and instrumental details to the forefront

 I need this.". Their woofer design also had me sold before I even submitted my order. I read that they are crafted from a mix of fine grained paper and wood fibre pulp

 I drive them through a modest Teac UD-301 and Adcom GFA-535ii straight from my Mac and they sing beautifully. Full and present bottom end with a real good punch. Crisp, clean and incredibly transparent highs. Great imaging

Thin and Lightweight top end / Warm and natural bottom - Highly recommended

 Speakers can be moved, increase or decrease bass. We found a distance of around 8 inches from the back. Wall gave the best performance here in our demonstration room. Finally, dolly have offered two color choices for the specter twos that will suit most living spaces with black and walnut vinyl wraps available

 The spectra range of speakers are a must, listen for anybody who wants a detailed, dynamic and rich sound that won't break the bank. The specter range are available to listen to in all of our stores, so pop into your local richer sounds now for a demonstration. Follow the link to subscribe to our Channel and find out where your nearest retro sound store is, if you like this video and think someone else might like it feel free to share and don't forget, to give us a big thumbs up mysterious or soon 

 The performance of a floor stand League design, but without the relative bug that that entails at 292 millimeters high and 238 millimeters deep they're a big enough cabinet to deliver a weighty and room filling sound, even at lower volumes. As a reported speaker, the specter twos bass performance can be controlled by the proximity of any wall directly behind them. Speakers can be moved, increase or decrease bass. We found a distance of around 8 inches from the back

Hi, I'm Rob and welcome to richer sounds in Southampton, Danish audio loudspeaker industries or Dali for short follow-up, their award-winning entry-level Zen, syringe with a new range and an even more competitive price point. The spectre range hopes to follow up the previous success of Dali speakers today. We'Ll be looking at the spectre 2 bookshelf model, which was recently awarded the full five stars by what in their review, where they praised their combining of dahlias traditional strengths with the generous dose of entertainment. If you want to follow me through to the demonstration room, we'll take a closer look, Dali's signature, wood, fiber drive units make a welcome appearance on the specter tubes they're a unique look to dolly and they're the same critically-acclaimed drive units that make an appearance on

DALI SPEKTOR 2 speakers | Richer Sounds

 Currently, I'm using my old Denon AVR-X5200W (140wpc stereo into 8 ohm loads), but I'll pick up separates at some point. I listen to classic rock, grunge, acoustic, instrumental jazz, classical, and movie soundtracks, everything sounds great on these speakers. I like these so much that I'm going to pick up some Zensors and possibly Opticons down the road. I only wish that Dali had more distributors in the U

 Warm, inviting mid-range and decent bass for a 5 1/4 inch woofer. It sounds bigger than its size would indicate. I've owned a lot loudspeakers over the years: JVC, Polk, Klipsch, Pioneer, Bose, KEF, and Ascend, but I think these Dalis are probably my favorite. They provide a wide sound stage with a lot of detail without being too clinical or sterile like some reference studio monitors

The Dali Spektor 2 is an amazing little speaker. Sweet, transparent, detailed highs without any hint of harshness. Warm, inviting mid-range and decent bass for a 5 1/4 inch woofer. It sounds bigger than its size would indicate

They provide a wide sound stage with a lot of detail without being too clinical or sterile like some reference studio monitors. The cabinet and craftsmanship is about what you would expect in this price range for speakers made in China, not horrible, but nothing to brag about either. Sensitivity is on the low side, at about 85 dB/m/W, so you will want a beefy amp to drive these

Amazing little bookshelf speakers

For this price, this speaker is the best I tried for my near field setup.  Really nice, airy treble. Very tight and fast low end.  Overall, I was very surprised at the sound quality of this speaker

 The only downside is that its not the best looking build. The wood used to build it looks very cheap.  None of that detracts from the sounds quality though. For the price, this is a winner

Best for the money

2. Sound and build quality (especially the build quality of the 3020i) are so much better than this model of Dali. The 3020i is the same price and the Elac is going for a $100 less at the time of this review.  Again, maybe these were much cheaper when they first hit, but at the current price I see no value at all in them

These were purchased by my son from Amazon, but "doesn't have time" to write reviews. After hooking them up to his integrated amp, he called me to come over and listen because they didn't sound right. Turned out he had the polarity wrong on one of them. While I was there we gave them a listen

  Maybe these were cheaper when they first came out? I don't know. But when matched up against the current bookshelf speakers I own:  Q Acoustics 3020i and Elac Debut 2 B6.2. Sound and build quality (especially the build quality of the 3020i) are so much better than this model of Dali

I don't get the hype at this price

  Amazing how much you get here—DAC, amp, remote, Bluetooth radio, and really good sounding speakers, all for one low spend. This is where good sound is going.

 $175 per room.  My neighbor spent $50k on his obsolete inbuilt whole house system. Mine sounds way better. He saw me pull out my phone, open the chooser and tap the rooms I wanted the music to play, and he began to weep

 Since they’re front ported you can help the bass by moving them close to the wall. You can even hang them on the wall.  Amazing how much you get here—DAC, amp, remote, Bluetooth radio, and really good sounding speakers, all for one low spend. This is where good sound is going

Whole Home Audio

 Without the update the sound is not very good. If youre updating the EQ and you have trouble you might need to try different microUSB cords. Note: an analog to aux cord is not included, but do not use one. Youll get an audible hiss over analog that isnt present with bluetooth

 This honestly isnt extremely surprising but the lack of a way to address it is the largest downside.  If youre buying this at 120$ its a bargain, at 150$ without an option for subwoofer out, id say consider an option with a subwoofer out if you care about bass. Bass is present but its a bit lackluster so keep that in mind

 Note: an analog to aux cord is not included, but do not use one. Youll get an audible hiss over analog that isnt present with bluetooth. At 120$ this set is very good value for the money. The sound output is good and if youre buying it at 120 due to the lack of an EQ update then its a bargain

 At 120$ this set is very good value for the money. The sound output is good and if youre buying it at 120 due to the lack of an EQ update then its a bargain. The main downside is that there is no subwoofer out option. The speakers may distort a touch in the lopwer range and the bass can sound hollow/nonexistant for certain tracks

Pros: Budget friendly powered 5 inch woofer speakers, lots of features (bluetooth, optical, analog), good clarity at mids/highs with EQ update, look fantastic  Cons: Customer service non existant, has trouble with lows, no subwoofer out, bluetooth disconnects if left connected overnight.  Ive used this set of speakers for a week now for my desktop and the clarity is very good in the mid and high range once you update the EQ. Without the update the sound is not very good. If youre updating the EQ and you have trouble you might need to try different microUSB cords

Great value with a few downsides

I’ve been looking for some speakers for monitoring mixes on tape, mainly coming from a cassette deck, or maybe my tascam portastudio. I’ve been looking at some of the Edifier R1280DB speakers and have seen a lot of mixed opinions about them (I was about to purchase a pair of those, but saw some reviews saying they lacked clarity in the vocals). Also I’d like to have the most flat response possible. I’d like to stay around the $100-150 area. Thanks in advance for your insight.

Need some advice for new speakers

So I had got the presonus eris 3.5 which wasn't bad but as a beat maker I needed a bit more umph on the bass and it did jus that! I never had any high end pair of monitors like the Yamaha to compare but it doesn't matter, as long as you know how it's suppose to sound it's a win=win situation for me as far far as price and quality(flat response)  Pros: Price, flat response for accurate mix (after updating it and stuffing ports), well built, because it has face front ports you can put them close to a wall. Cons: because of face front ports it can over power the mids a little bit but if you plug them up you should be fine, no TRS or XLR output, comes with a small but bulky AC adapter, has a little hissing noise if it's quite.
