“I have been diving deep the last year into headphones. I knew I wanted to set up a decent 2 channel system and the dual tweeter really caught my eye. I didn’t want to lose out on the resolution I had become accustomed to over the year. Add to that my listening area is not deep (wide dispersion was a plus), and an apartment (no giant floorstanders. These did not disappoint. The price was way too good to pass up and pulled the trigger without hearing this particular model. I must be living right, cause they are perfect for my space. In process of adding a couple rel T7 subs for sub bass without losing musicality. Currently running these for the meantime off a powernode and the hypeX ncore amp drives these well, until I save a little for an upgrade in the amp department. Just as impactful for me is the service I get from the Upscale team. Shipping, packing and support are five star plus.”

“Impulse bought these after hearing the Dali Opticon 6 mkII at a local hi-fi shop.. so glad I did. Less than half the price and every bit as detailed up top as the 6. Sound great right out of the box even when paired with my Audiolab 6000a. I was worried my entry level integrated wouldn't be able to drive these, but was pleasantly surprised. Bass is tight and much deeper than anticipated. I was planning on pairing these with a Sunfire SuperJunior, but quickly found a sub is not needed in my room. I followed the placement and setup guide provided by Upscale Audio and was able to get these sounding wonderful, with all genres of music, within 30 minutes. These speakers are lively and clear without being fatiguing, and sound great at low volume - a major plus for late night listening. I have not stopped listening to these since I unboxed them and cannot wait to hear them with tubes! I bought these as a replacement for my B&W 606S2. These have the clarity of the B&W, but also have a much fuller midrange. The bass is deeper and tighter with the Dali's, which is to be expected from the larger cabinet volume. Stereo imaging and soundstage easily rivals speakers 2-3x their current price. At $1,099/pair, I cannot recommend these enough. This was my first experience with Upscale Audio and have nothing but wonderful things to say. Speakers arrived to my address in IL double boxed via FedEx in 4 days. Best impulse buy in a very long time. Get them while you can!”

Thanks so much for the review, Rob! A lot of people don't realize just how amazing a deal this is. The level of speaker you get for the price is nearly impossible to match.

“Very good sound and dispersion. Was concerned whether enough bass but works good in my small office. Very satisfied with the exception of some shipping issues, but the UA folks were great emailing me regarding them.”
