That budget price doesn’t mean Dali has compromised on the drive units. The 11cm mid/bass driver uses one of the company’s distinctive wood-fibre cones, just like those in the brand’s high-end products.

The dimensions of these tiny boxes is 250 X 150 X 230 mm. They are 86 db efficient and are rated as 4 ohm speakers. They can handle a range of power amplifiers from 20 to 100 watts. They have a 4.5 inch mid-woofer and a soft dome tweeter. Dali makes it easy to integrate your loudspeakers into any room. Both the driver materials and geometry applied in the Spektor 1 have been selected to achieve a wide dispersion pattern. You will experience a well-integrated sound, even when listening significantly off-axis. As you are often not seated directly in front of the loudspeaker when listening to music, this is important. Speaker Positioning Při umístění ve volném prostoru, při přímém poslechu bez dunění dají znát, že tam někde za dveřmi koncertního sálu ten velký orchestr hraje. The likes of the Mission and Q Acoustics remain strong options, but these Dalis offer a degree of entertainment even these talented performers struggle to match. They're highly recommended. I was thinking recently about how the Menuets had grown on me. They sort of creep up on you and before you know it you are hooked. I threw the ultimate test at them – Curtis Mayfield’s ‘Pusherman’ off the album ‘Superfly’. They passed nicely. Polyrhythmic drum flourishes and cross-beats abound, and separation and imaging were excellent. These speakers are winners. Notice the clean front baffle, which utilizes magnets to support the grille covers. Cosmetically and sonically, it’s a bunch of little things…but they add up.Speaker Cables with Banana Plugs: If you know the lenght of the cable you need, this is the easier option to connect your speakers with your amp. At just 24 cm in height, and a compact 19 cm in depth, the Spektor 1 is definitely on the small side for a hi-fi speaker, but with the help of a port on the rear of the cabinet, performance suffers negligible losses and with a little bit of rear wall enforcement, these speakers are able to sound like a much larger speaker than their physical dimensions would suggest. DALI have opted for an 11 cm drive unit – a smaller version of their favoured wood fibre unit found on the rest of the Spektor range, and looking fetching with its purplish hue – as well as the same 21mm tweeter. In contrast the Menuets are only a slightly larger cabinet, but have even more mid-bass presence as well as a real taste of deep bass. The Menuets will stand on their own – no subwoofer is required, but the addition of a sub does fill out the bottom octave of their reproduction range.

Key to the Spektor's detailed, refined and powerful yet tuneful sound quality is the bespoke wood fibre bass woofer. Also used in its more expensive models, it gives a dynamic and precise sound. Partnering the impressive bass unit is a similarly high-performing treble unit. Soft dome construction gives upper notes a smooth yet precise sound, and when taken as a whole, the Spektor 1 is simply one of the most natural-sounding speakers at its price point. Naměřená frekvenční odpověď pochopitelně odpovídá cenové kategorii, pásmo od 100 Hz do 2 000 Hz je vlastně skvěle rovné, propad nad touto úrovní a naopak velké zdůraznění energie na nejvyšších úrovních pak mohou stát za dojmem objemných a čitelných výšek. Pásmo pod úrovní 100 Hz padá rychleji než cena akcií na Černý pátek, byť s poklesem -10 dB ještě bedničky zahrají 70 Hz a na 50 Hz se dostanou zhruba u -15 dB, což v malých prostorách ještě může být slyšitelné. The low-loss drivers within the Spektor 1s use a mixture of low-mass paper cones with wood fibre reinforcement. The wood fibres embedded within the mix allow for an uneven structure to the surface, dramatically reducing the surface resonance as a result, and thus creating the best possible reproduction of everyday detail within your music’s audio signal.

Their directionality is impressive too, and you’ll enjoy them even if you’re sitting off to the side. Testing them out above and below ear level was surprising too, as they still manage to envelop you even without perfect positioning.
