DALISpektor 1 Bookshelf Speaker Pair Ash Black

Nice speakers ! Small but very good quality

Beautiful, immersive sound from compact speakers. My setup is laptop -> iFi Zen DAC -> Fosi Audio TDA7498E -> Dali Spektor 1s. All sitting around my monitor. Speakers are on my desk, about 3 1/2 feet apart. At first, and with some trepidation, I bought a pair of powered Klipsch speakers. They had a signature punchy Klipsch sound, but too much bass for my space, and treble which seems to "ring out" (emphasize) certain tones to the point of being shrill to my ears, which I have found with Klipsch before. They were fatiguing after an hour or so. I never really wanted an "all-in-one" powered speaker solution. Enter the Fosi amp. This little guy makes passive speakers on the desktop make sense.These speakers have an airy, smooth treble, a welcome relief after the Klipsch. The sound is totally enveloping... while working, it is a joy to feel yourself truly transported by the music. They do go surprisingly low. Though the specs read 59hz as the bottom end, you will find them favoring mid bass, and sounds like a kick drum will definitely be skewed to higher frequencies. But often you'll be pleasantly surprised by a low note on an organ, or electronic bass.In short, these speakers do all you could reasonably expect them to and more, you get a real hi-fi experience in confined quarters, where the equipment drops out and the music takes over. And of course, you can always get yourself a subwoofer if you miss powerful lows.

D'une excellente qualité et précision sonore. Pour le format et le prix c'est bluffant

Le Dali hanno un suono neutro, preciso ma non faticoso, con un’estensione verso il basso notevole per cabinet così piccoli. Se vicine alla parete tendono a rimbombare, causa porta reflex posteriore; le ho staccate per quanto possibile ed ho tagliato e messo un materiale spugnoso nei condotti che sfociano sul retro. I diffusori hanno dei piedini in gomma da montare, sembrano buoni, ma forse sono meglio supporti isolanti o appoggi in schiuma. Con questi pochi accorgimenti, e le produzioni musicali giuste, restituiscono un’immagine sonora molto realistica. In questa fascia di prezzo e dimensioni, ho ascoltato poche volte qualcosa di così convincente.

Over the years I've heard quite a lot of speakers priced around these Dali Spektor bookshelfs and, without doubt, these are definitely the best. I play all sorts of music - classical, rock, jazz, folk etc., and these speakers reproduce all types of music very well. If you're looking for a pair of small, well balanced speakers (not too much bass, not too much treble) these will not let you down. Even at low volumes (which I often think is a good test of speakers) the sound reproduction is quite full. The speaker cabinets are also very well crafted - you'll see and feel the quality as soon as you take them out of the box.I have a few albums that I don't think have been mixed/engineered too well but these speakers make them more listenable than any others I've had in the past but, as always with speakers, you have to bear in mind the quality and source of the music you are playing through them before passing judgment.Clearly, if you've got a £3,000 grand amp and a £2,000 turntable, they will not be appropriate but they are definitely more than worthy of any average hi-fi set up.
