DALI and Meridian team up for The Bristol Show 2017
Readers will know I have a soft-spot for DALI speakers. Well, if you are going to ‘The Bristol Show’ next month, the Danish high-end loudspeaker pros have something special in store for you.
I will be at Sound and Vision, which is better known to Hi-Fi fans as The Bristol Show. Perhaps more importantly, so will DALI.
The Danish company has just confirmed that it will be conducting live demonstrations of its high-end Epicon 2 and 6 loudspeakers. These will be driven by state of the art Meridian Electronics.
DALI will also be launching its new Spektor line of affordable loudspeakers.
DALI Epicon
The Epicon range of loudspeakers represent the absolute pinnacle of DALI’s audio engineering expertise.
The speakers incorporate the distilled results of 30 years worth of experience and every technological advance the company has achieved. In-house designed (and made!) wood-fibre woofers, a Linear Drive Magnet System (incorporating their patented Soft Magnetic Compound) and beautiful multi-layer cabinets promise to deliver truly amazing musicality.
Driving the Epicons will be state of the art electronics from Meridian Audio Technology. Musical content (including MQA) will be provided from the award-winning Sooloos system, fed through the Meridian Ultra DAC. This DAC is the world’s first product to feature MQA’s patent-pending Hierarchical Converter Technology. All of this will be fed into the hugely capable Meridian 857 two-channel power amplifier.
DALI Spektor
The Bristol Show will also mark the public debut of DALI’s new, affordable range of speakers, the Spektor series.
Comprising four models at launch, the Spektor series employs their signature wood-fibre cones (with low loss surrounds), tweeters with ‘fast’ ultra-lightweight domes and, of course, superb looking cabinets.
Some familiar faces
DALI will be demonstrating some more familiar speakers too – as seen on this very site.
Their much acclaimed Rubicon series loudspeakers (reviewed here) and, naturally, its now legendary Katch wireless speaker.
The Katch has been the winner of countless awards (including ‘Best Portable Wireless Speaker £200+ of 2016’ from What Hi-Fi?).
