Dali Epicon 8 Speakers – Preview
A recent visit to the Dali factory in Denmark revealed a nearly 250,000 square foot facility full of highly skilled workers dedicated to every aspect of loudspeaker design and construction. The stylish cabinets and sophisticated drive units are all built and tested in house. And the result in their flagship speaker is stunning. These speakers sound as wonderful as they look, perhaps better. Dali calls the Epicon 8 a “3 + half-way” system, utilizing a ribbon supertweeter for the uppermost segment of the frequency spectrum.
Unlike most other speaker manufacturers, who usually cross the ribbon tweeter over at a much lower level (usually in the 4,000 – 5,000hz range) Dali crosses their supertweeter over at a nearly inaudible 15,000 hz level, eliminating the LF breakup and brittleness often associated with ribbon tweeter based design. The result is brilliant, with a smoothness we’ve never heard from a speaker of this nature. Our review will be live shortly, along with a chronicle of our factory visit. – Jeff Dorgay
