## Overview

The DALI SPEKTOR 2 bookshelf speakers combine a 5.25-inch wood fiber woofer and a 25mm ultra-light soft dome tweeter to deliver powerful, detailed sound with wide dispersion. Designed for flexible placement—wall, stand, or shelf—they excel in both music and home cinema environments. With a power range of 25-100 watts and 84.5 dB sensitivity, these speakers offer immersive, natural audio performance that punches well above their compact size.

## Description

Get ready for larger sound than you would ever expect from such a compact cabinet. The DALI SPEKTOR 2 bookshelf speaker delivers surprisingly BIG musical enjoyment. It packs a larger inner volume than the SPEKTOR 1, and the result is extra bass performance. The compact SPEKTOR 2 and its slightly smaller sibling SPEKTOR 1 are ideal for wall mounting or for shelf or stand installation in combination with any compact hi-fi music system. With its 5.25" wood fiber cone woofer and 1" soft dome tweeter, the SPEKTOR 2 will also find itself at home in numerous applications. It is superb in any surround channel position, helping you get that fully immersive movie or multi-channel music experience. SPEKTOR's soft dome tweeter offers best-in-class resolution with an extended frequency response, wide dispersion and low coloration. A clear heritage from DALI's 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). The beauty of the soft dome tweeter is its impressive ability to play even the lowest parts of the high frequency range without any break-ups. This is crucial when handling the all-important hand-over from the woofer to the tweeter. Not having to push either the woofer or tweeter beyond what they do best results in a seamless transition and preservation of every detail in the mid-range frequencies. The geometry of the tweeter front plate near the dome has been optimized to create the perfect working conditions for the soft dome. The aim was to combine an extended frequency response with wide dispersion and low coloration.

Review: Thin and Lightweight top end / Warm and natural bottom - Highly recommended - I bought these along with a pair of Wharfedale Diamond 220s and Wharfedale Dentons and spent about two weeks comparing all three of them. In the past I have been very happy with Wharfedale having owned the Diamond 210s (Happily on desk as the office), Diamond 10.7s (Sold) and Reva 4s (Currently in my theater setup). I wanted desktop monitors for a new room in my house that I would use for listening to music, mixing down old recordings, drinking whiskey... A sort of man cave. The Shootout: The Diamond 220s were a pretty balanced speaker top to bottom, but lacked excitement for me. The highs extended well past the Dentons, but not as high as the Specktors. This was not an issue for me because I already own the 210s and am very happy with them. It was the bottom end especially that disappointed me with the 220s. I have never liked their plinth port design (Also Featured on the Reva 4 which I also own, but absent on my 210s). It just sucks the life out of the bass of the speaker. It may make placement easier in a room, but what you are left with is a speaker with a lack in punch and presence in the low end. They have no authority. Kick drums are found bouncing around the room in every direction rather than slapping you in the chest. No. The Dentons were very warm and subtle. The bass was strong and very present. Mid range was excellent, and overall they were very smooth warm from top to bottom. They thrive with certain recordings and definitely prefer more natural analog material. Their notorious "Veiled" top end isn't so much veiled, the high details are certainly there, but you just have to find them. They don't jump out at you. I also must mention that to my surprise the Dentons did not image well. There was no wide sound stage to be found here. They were closed up and revealed no exciting center activity. All in all these speakers happened to be extremely well tamed and neutral, which for some professional and amateur engineers might be perfect. But I like to hear every detail in my recordings. I want every tiny mistake to be mine to find and correct, not the person down the road that happens to pick up a pair of the last speakers on my list and get a glimpse of what is really behind the "Veil". The Specktors are an exciting speaker. Their new tweeter that features an unusually thin and lightweight soft dome material was what originally drew me to them. I read about their new "Thin and light" approach on their website and thought "This sounds like a great design strategy. I need this.". Their woofer design also had me sold before I even submitted my order. I read that they are crafted from a mix of fine grained paper and wood fibre pulp. "F***, sign me up." I thought. I like my highs to be detailed, extended and transparent. Thin and light sounds like the way to get there. I like my lows to be warm and full and natural. Paper/Wood fibers sounds like the way to get there too. I was excited. When they arrived they were pretty much what I expected. The cabinets were unimpressive, which for me is usually a big problem. I consider myself a decent craftsmen and build furniture from time to time. I always appreciate a beautifully finished real wood veneer (like my old Monitor audio Silver 6s), but I was not aiming towards beauty for this room, so they were fine. As soon as I hooked them up I was impressed. I drive them through a modest Teac UD-301 and Adcom GFA-535ii straight from my Mac and they sing beautifully. Full and present bottom end with a real good punch. Crisp, clean and incredibly transparent highs. Great imaging. Honest and humble mid range. I am very happy with their performance. But I feel that their greatest strength, especially as this price point, is their ability to bring you right into the music. Their is no veil, there is no space whatsoever between you and the music. The vocals are right there. You can reach out and touch them. They are dead center and sound as if you might feel the wind from their breath. I believe it is this accuracy at the highest of highs of our very limited hearing spectrum that brings these vocal and instrumental details to the forefront. I and I believe that "thin and lightweight" were the building blocks of that strength.
Review: Amazing little bookshelf speakers - The Dali Spektor 2 is an amazing little speaker. Sweet, transparent, detailed highs without any hint of harshness. Warm, inviting mid-range and decent bass for a 5 1/4 inch woofer. It sounds bigger than its size would indicate. I've owned a lot loudspeakers over the years: JVC, Polk, Klipsch, Pioneer, Bose, KEF, and Ascend, but I think these Dalis are probably my favorite. They provide a wide sound stage with a lot of detail without being too clinical or sterile like some reference studio monitors. The cabinet and craftsmanship is about what you would expect in this price range for speakers made in China, not horrible, but nothing to brag about either. Sensitivity is on the low side, at about 85 dB/m/W, so you will want a beefy amp to drive these. Currently, I'm using my old Denon AVR-X5200W (140wpc stereo into 8 ohm loads), but I'll pick up separates at some point. I listen to classic rock, grunge, acoustic, instrumental jazz, classical, and movie soundtracks, everything sounds great on these speakers. I like these so much that I'm going to pick up some Zensors and possibly Opticons down the road. I only wish that Dali had more distributors in the U.S., as their speakers are tough to find and the prices are a bit high even with the current exchange rates for the USD.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is the listed price a piece or for the pair?**
A: pair

**Q: I have a pair of wharfedale diamond 10.1s that i am considering upgrading. how would you compare the dali spektor 2?**
A: I had a pair of Wharefedale Diamond 10.7s for several years and have a lot of experience with them.  The Specktors I have had for a couple of years now and they have a wonderfully bright and transparent tweeter that extends bar beyond the ability of the Wharfedales, which tend to be warmer and roll off at a lower frequency than the Specktors.  The bass response I would guess will be similar.  I have never heard the 10.1s and cannot speak for their bass, but I can say confidently that the largest difference between the Specktor and the Wharefedale will be the tweeter.  The Specktors have a very “forward” tweeter and tend to be agressive with some material until broken in.  The tweeter can sometimes even sound harsh, but with that comes wonderful detail and transparency.  Once broken in they will be less harsh and are truly a great speaker, but If you prefer a “warm” sound than the Wharfedale’s will suit you better.

**Q: Is the weight of each speaker 18.48 lbs. or is it for both?**
A: Pretty sure that would be for the pair, so roughly 9.25 lbs for each speaker. These are compact, light speakers. They sound amazing for their size.

**Q: Is that a wood veneer or pictures of wood on tape?**
A: It's wood veneer. Walnut in this case.
