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

yotpo

Wirecutter

The 3020i speakers deliver great detail and a spacious sound, and their design and build quality are better than what you get from most speakers in their price range.

 Add a little more bass extension and some real wood veneer and you really couldn’t ask for more. My Marantz 7000N really makes ‘em sing.

These little guys really surprised me with the amazing sound they produce out of those little boxes. Flat, smooth, and spacious. Add a little more bass extension and some real wood veneer and you really couldn’t ask for more. My Marantz 7000N really makes ‘em sing

Fantastic Bookshelf Speakers

 Compared to similarly priced offerings by audioengine.. these fall flat in all categories.

I really wanted to love these speakers because of how beautiful they are, but the sound is absolutely horrible. I can't believe these are $350 speakers. Compared to similarly priced offerings by audioengine.

Looks lovely. Sounds horrible!

I have Q-Acoustics 3020i's that are warm and make everything sound warm, they scale well but can be a bit too warm at low volume. They make everything fun to listen to, but I feel they need to be played at considerable volume in order to balance out the the sound.

I'm glad Kanto is making passive stuff now. You know how I feel about active speakers, so I rarely was recommending them. For $159 though, I bet these are great for the price.

I recently got the passives and also Neumi BS5. Ended up returning the Neumi. Driven by Yamaha R-S202BL.

Kanto YU Passive 5.25 - The TL/DR Review

 I can’t afford expensive speakers; this pressed my budget as it is, but I can’t imagine being any happier than with these. Lovely design, modern lines and simplicity. Love.

These little speakers are powerful and make my small receiver sound like a much more expensive stereo system. I don't even have a subwoofer, and they still deliver big sound as well as clarity to highs, lows, as well as midrange tones.
