DALI SPEKTOR 1 Compact Speakers (Pair)
DALI SPEKTOR 1 Compact speaker
The DALI SPEKTOR 1 brings the DALI sound design principals to a NEW price bracket, opening the possibility for many NEW music and movies lovers to experience the seduction of true Hi-Fi. Getting this much Hi-Fi performance from a speaker in this price range not only took all of our experience and knowhow, but also hours and hours spent in the listening room, improving the driver and crossover designs to create the perfect audio performance. The low-loss drivers uses a mix of low-mass paper cones with wood fibre reinforcement. The embedded wood fibres give the surface an uneven structure, which dramatically minimizes the resonance of the surface. This creates the best possible reproduction of every detail in the audio signal.
The amplifier friendly design makes the SPEKTOR series a perfect fit for almost any of the amplifiers in its price category. No matter if we look at compact Hi-Fi, stereo amplifiers or surround receivers, SPEKTOR will bring out the best in them, showing you just how good music and movies can sound.
The dome tweeter offers best-in-class resolution with an extended frequency response, wide dispersion and low coloration. A clear heritage from our high-end series. The tweeter is based on an ultra-lightweight weaved fabric, which weighs less than half of the market standard (0.056 mg/mm2).
By using only DALI designed and custom-built drivers, the need for frequency correction in the crossover is eliminated. This enables us to design an exact crossover which together with carefully selected quality components ensures that the signal loss is close to zero
Unfortunately, one of the speakers buzzes or rattles at low frequencies so they have to be returned or exchanged.
Delivery service was excellent. I hope the return process isn’t too cumbersome.
Simply put the sound that comes out of these really small speakers in my smallish room is nothing short of superb. Now to be fair I have them teamed up with Martin Logan (or the other way around( Dynamo 700) with the settings at the right places but the actually output as low as it can go - so I get a beautiful balanced sound - the blending of frequencies between the tweeter (sweet) and the woofer is superb.
IF you have a smaller room setup try these - you will not regret it.
Perfect great communication and very prompt on follow up. Would never guess these weren’t brand new if I hadn’t already. Thank you!
Noting that I really like the Dali-sound (and have other pairs of Dali speakers), I bought these for my office system. They do require a little bit of run-in time to really get them to where they will be, but after that initial run-in time (Dali suggests about 100 hours), you will find yourself listening with pleasure (and a little bit of amazement). Highly recommended!
The main reason I had decided on the Spektor 1 speakers was to match to a vintage Dual 1019 turntable with a Goldring E3 cartridge that runs through an Audiolab 6000A Play amp with onboard DAC. Even though the speakers haven' t yet run through the break in cycle, I'm finding the sound to be quite close to what I was hoping for. Not an audiophile by any stretch of the imagination, I qualify these little babies as top notch in the sound they produce.
A lot of my listening is currently done via streaming of SiriusXM radio. Not fatiguing at all as I can listen for hours on end without any problem.
As well, vinyl sounds great and my old Sony CD player sounds better through the Spektors. I haven't even reverted back to my antique Dyanco A25Xs since hooking up the Spektor 1s........a very, very content and happy listener.
