SMC, Soft Magnetic Composite, is a material that dramatically reduces the eddy current losses and non-linear distortion generated in conventional steel pole pieces during driver operation. In the KORE, DALI introduces SMC Gen-2, the most advanced iteration of this material to date, combined with dual voice-coil Balanced Drive architecture in the 11.5-inch bass drivers. The dual voice-coil configuration creates a symmetrical magnetic field around the diaphragm, eliminating the uneven harmonic distortion that conventional single-coil drivers produce when the voice coil moves asymmetrically within the gap. The result is bass reproduction of extraordinary power and precision, with ultra-low distortion that allows low-frequency detail and texture to be heard and felt without compression or coloration. The 7-inch midrange driver applies the same Balanced Drive SMC Gen-2 technology to a paper and wood fibre diaphragm with a new lighter, thinner rubber surround, achieving midrange detail retrieval of breathtaking resolution and natural tonal accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eEVO-K Hybrid Tweeter: Soft Dome and Ribbon in a Single Unit\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI KORE's high-frequency system is the EVO-K Hybrid Tweeter, combining an oversized 35mm soft textile dome tweeter and a 10 x 55mm ribbon planar element in a single coherent high-frequency unit. The 35mm dome, developed and manufactured in-house at DALI, handles the upper midrange and lower treble from the 2,100Hz crossover point, providing wide horizontal dispersion and the smooth, natural character associated with large-format soft dome tweeters. The ribbon super-tweeter extends response from 12,000Hz to 34kHz with the planar element's characteristic speed and air, reproducing the harmonic overtones and spatial information above the conventional audible range that contribute to the sense of realism and presence in live music reproduction. An all-new magnet design with increased sensitivity in the ribbon element ensures seamless integration between the dome and ribbon sections, delivering coherent, astonishingly wide high-frequency performance that avoids the hand-off discontinuity that poorly integrated hybrid tweeters can produce.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWorld's First SMC-Core Crossover Inductors and Low-Loss Design\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI KORE's four-way crossover network at 390Hz, 2,100Hz, and 12,000Hz is constructed using the world's first inductors wound with SMC material in their cores. Conventional crossover inductors use iron or air cores, both of which introduce measurable losses and non-linearities into the crossover's filtering characteristics. SMC's soft magnetic properties dramatically reduce these losses, producing a crossover network of exceptional transparency that passes the signal from each driver section with minimal degradation. The crossover assembly is housed in a separate non-magnetic enclosure within the KORE's precision-cast resin composite plinth, isolating it from both the electromagnetic fields of the large driver magnets above and the air pressure variations within the bass enclosures, preventing mechanical and electrical interference from reaching the crossover components during high-level playback.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCabinet Engineering: Curved Birch Laminate and Dual-Flare Bass Ports\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI KORE's cabinet is constructed from curved 28mm birch laminate composite panels with aluminum die-cast thermoset resin composite structural elements, achieving a combination of panel rigidity, controlled internal damping, and curved geometry that eliminates the parallel internal wall reflections that rectangular cabinets produce. Form-pressed laminate panels and substantial internal bracing prevent cabinet resonance from coloring the acoustic output. The bass loading system uses two separate 72-litre reflex enclosures, each tuned to 22Hz, providing the low-frequency extension required to reach the KORE's 26Hz lower limit with authority. Dual-flare bass ports minimize port turbulence and compression at high output levels. The midrange driver occupies a separate attenuated open-backline enclosure that isolates it acoustically from the bass chambers, preventing bass pressure from modulating the midrange diaphragm and preserving the purity of midrange reproduction. The 148kg cabinet weight, supported by a precision-cast resin composite plinth weighing over 34kg, provides the mechanical foundation required to keep the entire structure inert during high-level playback.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePatented Balanced Drive SMC Gen-2 Technology:\u003c\/strong\u003e Applied to both twin 11.5-inch bass drivers and the dedicated 7-inch midrange driver, eliminating uneven harmonic distortion through dual voice-coil symmetric magnetic field design and next-generation Soft Magnetic Composite material for ultra-low distortion at all output levels.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwin 11.5-Inch Bass Drivers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dual woofers with Balanced Drive SMC Gen-2 and dual voice-coil architecture in two separate 72-litre reflex enclosures tuned to 22Hz, delivering powerful, precise, and deeply extended bass reproduction to 26Hz.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDedicated 7-Inch Midrange Driver:\u003c\/strong\u003e DALI's first dedicated midrange driver in a KORE-level design, using Balanced Drive SMC Gen-2 technology with a paper and wood fibre diaphragm and lightweight rubber surround for breathtaking midrange resolution and tonal accuracy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEVO-K Hybrid Tweeter:\u003c\/strong\u003e In-house developed 35mm soft dome tweeter combined with a 10 x 55mm ribbon super-tweeter with all-new magnet design, delivering seamless, coherent, and astonishingly wide high-frequency response from 2,100Hz to 34kHz.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWorld's First SMC-Core Crossover Inductors:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low-loss SMC material in the crossover inductors minimizes signal degradation through the four-way network, producing a crossover of exceptional transparency at 390Hz, 2,100Hz, and 12,000Hz.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e26Hz-34kHz Frequency Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full-range coverage from the deepest bass to well beyond the audible ceiling, capturing the complete harmonic spectrum of any musical source.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e118dB Maximum SPL:\u003c\/strong\u003e Exceptional dynamic capability for realistic reproduction of orchestral crescendos, large-scale rock recordings, and cinematic soundtracks at any listening level.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCurved 28mm Birch Laminate Composite Cabinet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Curved panel geometry eliminates parallel internal reflections, with form-pressed laminate, substantial bracing, and aluminum die-cast thermoset resin composite structural elements providing a vibration-resistant enclosure of exceptional rigidity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeparate Midrange Enclosure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Acoustically isolated attenuated open-backline midrange chamber prevents bass pressure from modulating the midrange diaphragm, preserving midrange purity at all output levels.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrecision-Cast Resin Composite Plinth:\u003c\/strong\u003e A 34kg+ plinth provides a substantial, rigid, non-magnetic base that isolates the crossover assembly from driver magnetic fields and cabinet air pressure variations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGloss Lacquer Amarra Ebony Veneer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Six-layer lacquer finish over Amarra Ebony veneer with contrasting textured finishes, combining Danish design sensibility with acoustic cabinet optimization through curved form geometry.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBi-Wire and Bi-Amp Capable:\u003c\/strong\u003e Custom-designed, machined, and gold-plated binding terminals accommodate bare wire, spade terminals, and 4mm plugs, with bi-wire and bi-amp configurations supported for maximum system flexibility.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrequency Range (+\/-3dB)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e26Hz -

It features twin 11.5-inch Balanced Drive SMC Gen-2 bass drivers, a 7-inch Balanced Drive SMC Gen-2 midrange driver, a 35mm EVO-K soft dome tweeter, and a 10 x 55mm ribbon super-tweeter, with the world's first SMC-core crossover inductors in a four-way network, a curved 28mm birch laminate composite cabinet in Gloss Lacquer Amarra Ebony veneer, and a 148kg total weight. It covers 26Hz to 34kHz at a maximum SPL of 118dB. The DALI KORE is available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the DALI KORE compare to the Wilson Audio Alexia and Magico M3?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI KORE competes at the highest tier of audiophile floorstanding loudspeaker design alongside the Wilson Audio Alexia Series 2 and Magico M3. The KORE's patented Balanced Drive SMC Gen-2 dual voice-coil bass driver technology represents a fundamentally different approach to distortion reduction than either Wilson's proprietary cone materials or Magico's sealed aluminum enclosure philosophy, targeting the magnetic circuit asymmetry that is a primary source of harmonic distortion in conventional bass drivers. The KORE's four-driver, four-way configuration with a dedicated 7-inch midrange and hybrid EVO-K tweeter provides a more complete driver specialization than the Wilson Alexia's three-way layout, while the Magico M3's carbon fibre cone technology and sealed enclosure target different performance priorities than the KORE's reflex-loaded SMC driver approach. The KORE's 26Hz lower extension and 118dB maximum SPL represent exceptional dynamic and frequency range capability within this competitive tier. At 148kg per speaker, the KORE demands careful room planning and professional delivery and installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat amplifier power does the DALI KORE require?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI KORE is rated for amplifiers delivering between 50W and 1,000W, with a nominal impedance of 4 ohms and a minimum of 3.2 ohms at 72Hz. While its 88dB sensitivity is moderate rather than high, the KORE's 4-ohm nominal load and complex four-way crossover network demand an amplifier with both current delivery capability and stable performance into low impedance loads. Vinyl Sound strongly recommends high-current amplification of at least several hundred watts per channel from a topology with robust power supply design for the KORE to reach its full dynamic potential. Contact Vinyl Sound in Toronto for personalized amplifier pairing advice based on your room size and listening preferences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is Balanced Drive SMC technology and why does it matter?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBalanced Drive SMC technology addresses one of the most fundamental sources of distortion in conventional loudspeaker drivers: the asymmetric magnetic field experienced by the voice coil as it moves within the magnet gap. In a conventional driver, the voice coil experiences a stronger magnetic force when moving in one direction than the other, generating uneven harmonic distortion that adds a characteristic coloration to the sound. DALI's Balanced Drive uses a dual voice-coil configuration that creates a symmetrical magnetic field around the diaphragm, eliminating this asymmetry. SMC, Soft Magnetic Composite, further reduces eddy current losses in the magnetic circuit that generate additional non-linear distortion. In the KORE, the second-generation SMC Gen-2 material achieves the lowest distortion levels DALI has ever measured in a production driver, allowing the listener to hear low-frequency and midrange detail that conventional drivers mask behind their own distortion floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does the separate midrange enclosure achieve in the DALI KORE?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI KORE's 7-inch midrange driver is housed in its own acoustically isolated attenuated open-backline enclosure, completely separate from the twin bass reflex chambers. Without this isolation, the large air pressure variations generated by the twin 11.5-inch bass drivers at high output levels would modulate the midrange diaphragm from behind, adding intermodulation distortion to the midrange signal that degrades vocal clarity, instrumental definition, and spatial imaging. By isolating the midrange driver in its own chamber, the KORE ensures that everything the midrange driver reproduces comes exclusively from the electrical signal at its terminals, without mechanical interference from bass driver activity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the DALI KORE in Toronto or Canada?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI KORE is available at Vinyl Sound, an authorized DALI dealer in Toronto, Canada. Given the KORE's 148kg per speaker weight and 246kg shipping weight, professional delivery, unpacking, and placement assistance is strongly recommended.

The 6.5-inch midrange driver is an evolution of the EPICON 8 midrange, upgraded with an SMC Gen-2 magnet system and DALI's unique Clarity Cone Technology paper and wood fibre diaphragm structure. SMC Gen-2's Soft Magnetic Composite material eliminates the eddy current losses and non-linear magnetic distortion that conventional steel pole pieces generate, while the Clarity Cone Technology diaphragm optimizes the balance of low mass, high stiffness, and controlled internal damping for outstanding midrange resolution with minimal mechanical loss. The EVO-K Hybrid Tweeter, developed originally for the KORE, combines a large in-house-developed 35mm soft dome tweeter with a 10 x 55mm planar magnetostatic ribbon element driven by extremely powerful neodymium magnet motor systems, delivering crystal-clear, wide-dispersion high-frequency reproduction from 3,100Hz through to 34kHz with the seamless coherence of an integrated hybrid unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFour 8-Inch Woofers and 4.5-Way Bass Architecture\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe EPIKORE 11's bass system uses four 8-inch drivers with paper and wood fibre cones in a 4.5-way crossover configuration with crossover points at 170Hz, 370Hz, 3,100Hz, and 12,500Hz. The 4.5-way designation reflects the use of a sub-bass driver array that operates below the main bass crossover frequency, effectively splitting the low-frequency workload between dedicated deep bass and upper bass driver groups to reduce intermodulation distortion and extend bass linearity at high output levels. Wood fibre cone technology reduces diaphragm mass while increasing stiffness, promoting clean, non-resonant breakup characteristics that preserve musical detail and dynamics in the bass register. The bass reflex enclosure is tuned to 24Hz, supporting the EPIKORE 11's 29Hz lower limit and enabling deep, controlled low-frequency extension without the port noise or dynamic compression that poorly tuned reflex designs can produce. DALI recommends positioning the EPIKORE 11 between 35cm and 120cm from the rear wall for optimal bass integration and imaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eElegant Luxury Cabinet: Curved Real-Wood Veneer and Piano Lacquer\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe EPIKORE 11's cabinet is constructed as a completely inert and stiff enclosure using laminated real-wood veneer with luxurious piano-finish lacquering. The tall, curved cabinet form serves both aesthetic and acoustic purposes: curved panels eliminate the parallel internal wall reflections that rectangular enclosures produce, while the high-mass, low-resonance structure creates the acoustically neutral environment required for authentic musical reproduction at the EPIKORE 11's output levels. At 75.6kg per speaker, the EPIKORE 11 has the mechanical foundation required to remain inert during high-level playback, supported by M12-1 threaded spike mounts for coupling to the floor through carpet or directly to a hard surface with appropriate floor protectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEVO-K Hybrid Tweeter from the DALI KORE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Originally developed for DALI's flagship loudspeaker, the EVO-K combines a 35mm in-house-developed soft dome tweeter with a 10 x 55mm planar magnetostatic ribbon element and neodymium magnet motors, delivering crystal-clear, wide-dispersion high frequencies from 3,100Hz to 34kHz.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSMC Gen-2 Midrange with Clarity Cone Technology:\u003c\/strong\u003e The evolved 6.5-inch midrange driver uses DALI's second-generation Soft Magnetic Composite magnet system and a unique Clarity Cone Technology paper and wood fibre diaphragm for lower distortion and mechanical loss than its EPICON 8 predecessor.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFour 8-Inch Wood Fibre Woofers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Four woofers with paper and wood fibre cones provide the bass surface area and driver redundancy required for effortless dynamic response at high output levels, with non-resonant breakup characteristics that preserve bass detail and texture.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e4.5-Way Crossover Configuration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Five crossover points at 170Hz, 370Hz, 3,100Hz, and 12,500Hz divide the frequency range into optimally specialized driver sections, minimizing intermodulation distortion and maximizing linearity across the EPIKORE 11's full operating range.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e29Hz-34kHz Frequency Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full-range coverage from deep bass to well beyond the audible ceiling, capturing the complete harmonic spectrum of any musical source or high-resolution recording format.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e116dB Maximum SPL:\u003c\/strong\u003e Exceptional dynamic headroom for realistic reproduction of orchestral and large-scale recordings at reference listening levels.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e89dB Sensitivity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Usable with amplifiers from 40W upward while supporting up to 1,000W for listeners with very large rooms or very high output level requirements.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBass Reflex Tuned to 24Hz:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep reflex tuning supports the EPIKORE 11's 29Hz lower limit and enables controlled, extended bass reproduction without audible port turbulence at high output levels.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCurved Real-Wood Veneer Cabinet with Piano Lacquer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Completely inert laminated structure with curved panel geometry and luxurious piano-finish lacquering combining acoustic performance with high-end aesthetic quality, built by DALI in Denmark.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBi-Wire Capable:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bi-wire input configuration allows separate speaker cable runs to the high-frequency and low-frequency sections for reduced inter-driver interference in the cable and terminal network.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDALI Heritage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Incorporates technologies directly from the flagship DALI KORE and represents 40 years of DALI loudspeaker design and manufacturing expertise, built in Denmark.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCrossover Principle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4.5-Way\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrequency Range (+\/-3dB)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e29Hz -

It covers 29Hz to 34kHz at a maximum SPL of 116dB with 89dB sensitivity and 4-ohm nominal impedance, in a curved real-wood veneer piano-lacquer cabinet weighing 75.6kg per speaker. The EPIKORE 11 is available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the DALI EPIKORE 11 compare to the DALI KORE and the Focal Sopra No. 3?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI EPIKORE 11 sits directly below the flagship DALI KORE in DALI's lineup, sharing the EVO-K Hybrid Tweeter and SMC Gen-2 midrange technology while using four 8-inch woofers in a 4.5-way configuration rather than the KORE's twin 11.5-inch Balanced Drive SMC dual voice-coil bass drivers. The KORE extends to 26Hz versus the EPIKORE 11's 29Hz, reaches 118dB versus 116dB, and weighs 148kg versus 75.6kg per speaker, reflecting its more extensive engineering and driver investment. Against the Focal Sopra No. 3, the EPIKORE 11's four-woofer 4.5-way configuration provides significantly greater bass surface area and dynamic headroom than the Sopra No. 3's two-woofer three-way layout, while DALI's EVO-K ribbon hybrid tweeter extends to 34kHz compared to the Focal Beryllium tweeter's more conventional upper limit, offering a distinctly different high-frequency character and dispersion presentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does the 4.5-way crossover mean on the EPIKORE 11?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 4.5-way crossover indicates that one group of drivers in the EPIKORE 11 operates over only a partial frequency band rather than a full dedicated range, effectively acting as half a full crossover way. In the EPIKORE 11, this means the four 8-inch woofers are divided into sub-groups: some operate across the full bass range while others are progressively rolled off at higher bass frequencies, reducing cone excursion and intermodulation distortion in the drivers that also contribute to upper bass and midbass reproduction. The five crossover points at 170Hz, 370Hz, 3,100Hz, and 12,500Hz reflect this multi-stage bass division alongside the transitions to the midrange driver, soft dome tweeter, and ribbon super-tweeter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much amplifier power does the DALI EPIKORE 11 need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI EPIKORE 11 is rated for amplifiers delivering between 40W and 1,000W into its 4-ohm nominal load. Its 89dB sensitivity means it reaches satisfying listening levels from moderate amplifier power in a typical listening room, but its 4-ohm nominal impedance and complex 4.5-way crossover network demand an amplifier with stable current delivery into low impedance loads rather than simply high voltage output. Vinyl Sound recommends high-current amplification with a robust power supply for the EPIKORE 11 to realize its full dynamic potential. Contact Vinyl Sound in Toronto for personalized amplifier pairing recommendations based on your room size and system goals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow far from the rear wall should the DALI EPIKORE 11 be placed?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDALI recommends positioning the EPIKORE 11 between 35cm and 120cm from the rear wall. Closer placement toward 35cm increases bass reinforcement from the rear wall boundary, which may suit rooms with limited acoustic treatment or listeners who prefer a fuller low-frequency presentation. Greater distances toward 120cm reduce this boundary reinforcement and allow the EPIKORE 11's bass reflex system, tuned to 24Hz, to develop more freely in the room, typically improving bass definition and stereo imaging depth. Vinyl Sound can advise on optimal placement for your specific listening room geometry and acoustic conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the DALI EPIKORE 11 in Toronto or Canada?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI EPIKORE 11 is available at Vinyl Sound, an authorized DALI dealer in Toronto, Canada. Given the EPIKORE 11's 75.6kg per speaker weight and 176kg pair shipping weight, professional delivery and placement assistance is strongly recommended. Vinyl Sound can arrange in-store demonstration by appointment and advise on amplifier selection, room preparation, and installation logistics. Purchasing from an authorized Canadian dealer ensures full DALI manufacturer warranty coverage and access to local expert support.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the DALI EPIKORE 11 support bi-amping?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI EPIKORE 11 supports bi-wiring through its dual binding terminal configuration, allowing separate speaker cable runs to the high-frequency and low-frequency sections of the crossover network. Bi-wiring reduces the interaction between high-current bass signals and the more sensitive high-frequency signal paths in the shared cable and terminal connection, which can improve resolution and imaging in appropriately resolving systems. Full bi-amping, using separate amplifier channels for the bass and treble sections, would require confirming the specific terminal configuration with Vinyl Sound at the time of purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dali","offers":[{"title":"High Gloss Black","offer_id":46843952988412,"sku":null,"price":80000.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"High Gloss Maroon","offer_id":46843953021180,"sku":null,"price":80000.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"High Gloss Walnut","offer_id":46843953053948,"sku":null,"price":80000.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White (High Gloss Lacquer) - Special order Only","offer_id":48724284276988,"sku":null,"price":80000.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0116\/1773\/0617\/files\/DaliEpiikore11_VinylSound0.webp?v=1737618166"},{"product_id":"dali-epikore-9","title":"Dali EPIKORE 9 Floorstanding Speakers (Pair)","description":"\u003ch1\u003eDALI EPIKORE 9 Floorstanding Speakers at Vinyl Sound Toronto Canada\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI EPIKORE 9 is a 4-way floorstanding loudspeaker from DALI (Skive, Denmark), available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada.

The EVO-K Hybrid Tweeter, created originally for the KORE, combines a 35mm soft dome tweeter developed and manufactured in-house at DALI with a 10 x 55mm planar magnetostatic ribbon element, both driven by extremely powerful neodymium magnet motor systems. The dome handles the upper midrange and lower treble from 3,100Hz with wide, smooth dispersion, while the ribbon extends response from 12,500Hz to 34kHz with the speed and air that planar elements uniquely provide. The two 8-inch woofers in the EPIKORE 9 are the same SMC Gen-2 drivers shared with the range-topping EPIKORE 11, using Soft Magnetic Composite second-generation material in the magnet system to eliminate eddy current losses and reduce non-linear magnetic distortion for phenomenally rich and powerful low-end fidelity. The 6.5-inch midrange driver also uses SMC Gen-2 alongside Clarity Cone Technology, a paper and wood fibre diaphragm structure that dampens unwanted resonances for low-loss, low-distortion midrange performance of exceptional resolution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eClarity Cone Technology and Continuous-Flare Bass Reflex Ports\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDALI's Clarity Cone Technology is applied to all three bass and midrange drivers in the EPIKORE 9, using paper and wood fibre composite diaphragms that reduce mass, increase stiffness, and promote non-resonant breakup characteristics compared to conventional paper or synthetic cone materials. Wood fibre's natural internal damping properties complement the paper substrate's stiffness, creating a diaphragm that moves with high precision and stops cleanly without the sustained ringing that less well-damped cones can produce. The EPIKORE 9's bass reflex enclosure uses continuous-flare port geometry, a design that progressively widens the port cross-section from throat to mouth to minimize air velocity and turbulence at the port exit, reducing port noise and compression during high-output bass passages. The reflex system is tuned to 27Hz, supporting the EPIKORE 9's 29Hz lower frequency limit and enabling deep, controlled bass reproduction in larger listening rooms. DALI recommends placement between 35cm and 120cm from the rear wall for optimal bass integration and stereo imaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eElegant Luxury Cabinet in Three Exclusive High-Gloss Finishes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe EPIKORE 9's cabinet combines curved panel geometry with laminated real-wood veneer and piano-finish lacquering in three exclusive high-gloss finishes, creating an enclosure that is simultaneously an acoustic engineering achievement and an object of refined aesthetic quality. The curved cabinet form eliminates parallel internal wall reflections that rectangular enclosures generate, while the completely inert and stiff structure prevents cabinet resonance from coloring the acoustic output at the 64kg per speaker mass required to keep the enclosure mechanically stable during high-level playback. At 1,310mm tall, the EPIKORE 9 positions the EVO-K Hybrid Tweeter module at an appropriate ear level for a seated listener in a large room, with M12 threaded spike mounts for secure floor coupling through carpet or hard flooring with appropriate floor protectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEVO-K Hybrid Tweeter from the DALI KORE:\u003c\/strong\u003e In-house-developed 35mm soft dome tweeter combined with a 10 x 55mm planar magnetostatic ribbon element and neodymium magnet motors, delivering smooth, effortless high-frequency response from 3,100Hz to 34kHz with wide horizontal dispersion.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo 8-Inch SMC Gen-2 Clarity Cone Woofers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shared with the EPIKORE 11, these woofers use second-generation Soft Magnetic Composite magnet systems and paper and wood fibre Clarity Cone diaphragms for phenomenally rich, powerful, and low-distortion bass reproduction to 29Hz.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e6.5-Inch SMC Gen-2 Clarity Cone Midrange:\u003c\/strong\u003e Newly developed midrange driver with SMC Gen-2 magnet system and Clarity Cone Technology diaphragm structure, delivering lower distortion and mechanical loss than the EPICON 8 midrange it evolved from for astonishing low-loss midrange performance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e4-Way Crossover at 400Hz, 3,100Hz, and 12,500Hz:\u003c\/strong\u003e Three crossover points divide the frequency range into four fully specialized driver sections, minimizing intermodulation distortion and maximizing linearity from deep bass through to the ribbon super-tweeter's upper limit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClarity Cone Technology Throughout:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paper and wood fibre composite diaphragms applied to all bass and midrange drivers reduce mass, increase stiffness, and promote non-resonant breakup for the finest musical details and dynamics.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContinuous-Flare Bass Reflex Ports:\u003c\/strong\u003e Progressive port geometry minimizes air turbulence and compression during high-output bass passages, delivering cleaner, deeper, and more accurate bass reproduction from a reflex system tuned to 27Hz.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e29Hz-34kHz Frequency Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full-range coverage from deep bass to well beyond the audible ceiling, capturing the complete harmonic and spatial information of any musical source or high-resolution recording.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e112dB Maximum SPL:\u003c\/strong\u003e High dynamic headroom for large-scale musical reproduction at reference listening levels in larger rooms.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e88dB Sensitivity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Compatible with amplifiers from 40W upward while supporting up to 500W for demanding large-room installations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCurved Real-Wood Veneer Cabinet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Three exclusive high-gloss piano-lacquer finishes over laminated real-wood veneer in a curved, completely inert structure built by DALI in Denmark.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBi-Wire Capable:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dual binding terminal configuration supports separate speaker cable runs to the high-frequency and low-frequency sections for reduced inter-driver cable interaction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDALI Heritage and EPICON Evolution:\u003c\/strong\u003e The natural successor to the acclaimed DALI EPICON series, incorporating 40 years of Danish loudspeaker engineering and direct technology transfer from the KORE flagship.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCrossover Principle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4-Way\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrequency Range (+\/-3dB)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e29Hz -

It covers 29Hz to 34kHz with 88dB sensitivity, 4-ohm nominal impedance, and 112dB maximum SPL, in a curved real-wood veneer piano-lacquer cabinet weighing 64kg per speaker. The EPIKORE 9 is available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the DALI EPIKORE 9 compare to the EPIKORE 11 and the Wilson Audio Sabrina X?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI EPIKORE 9 and EPIKORE 11 share the same EVO-K Hybrid Tweeter, SMC Gen-2 midrange driver, and Clarity Cone Technology throughout, differing primarily in bass system scale. The EPIKORE 11 adds two additional 8-inch woofers in a 4.5-way configuration reaching 116dB maximum SPL at 75.6kg per speaker, versus the EPIKORE 9's two-woofer 4-way layout at 112dB and 64kg, making the EPIKORE 9 the more practical choice for large but not extremely large rooms. Against the Wilson Audio Sabrina X, the EPIKORE 9 extends deeper to 29Hz versus the Sabrina X's approximately 42Hz lower limit, while its ribbon super-tweeter extends to 34kHz versus the Wilson's conventional dome tweeter ceiling. The EPIKORE 9's SMC Gen-2 distortion reduction technology addresses the magnetic circuit directly, while Wilson's approach focuses on cabinet material and driver time-alignment geometry, representing fundamentally different design philosophies toward the same goal of faithful music reproduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is Clarity Cone Technology and how does it benefit sound quality?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClarity Cone Technology is DALI's proprietary diaphragm material combining paper substrate with wood fibre in a composite structure applied to the EPIKORE 9's bass and midrange drivers. Wood fibre adds stiffness and natural internal damping to the paper base, reducing the diaphragm mass below that of a conventional paper cone of equivalent stiffness while simultaneously dampening the resonance modes that cause conventional cones to ring after an impulse. The result is a diaphragm that responds quickly to the electrical signal, stops cleanly when the signal ends, and avoids the coloration that underdamped cones add to the musical texture, particularly in the upper bass and lower midrange where such resonances are most audible in acoustic instruments and voices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the continuous-flare bass reflex port design improve bass performance?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA conventional bass reflex port has a uniform cylindrical cross-section from throat to mouth, which creates a sharp air velocity increase at the port exit as the tube terminates abruptly into the room. This velocity discontinuity generates turbulence and port noise that is audible as a chuffing or whooshing sound during demanding bass passages, and the resistance it creates compresses dynamic range at the port's resonant frequency. The EPIKORE 9's continuous-flare port progressively widens from the throat to the mouth, reducing air velocity gradually and eliminating the abrupt termination that causes turbulence. The result is cleaner, quieter, and more dynamically unconstrained bass reproduction, particularly at the high output levels the EPIKORE 9 is capable of reaching.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat amplifier power does the DALI EPIKORE 9 need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI EPIKORE 9 is rated for amplifiers delivering between 40W and 500W into its 4-ohm nominal load. Its 88dB sensitivity allows it to reach satisfying listening levels from moderate amplifier power, but its 4-ohm impedance and complex four-way crossover demand stable current delivery rather than simply high voltage output. A high-current amplifier with a robust power supply is recommended to allow the EPIKORE 9 to realize its full dynamic potential and bass authority in a large listening room. Vinyl Sound can advise on specific amplifier pairings suited to your room size and system goals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the DALI EPIKORE 9 in Toronto or Canada?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI EPIKORE 9 is available at Vinyl Sound, an authorized DALI dealer in Toronto, Canada.

The EVO-K Hybrid Tweeter, developed exclusively for the KORE and brought into the EPIKORE range, pairs a large 35mm soft-dome tweeter with a wide-dispersion 10 x 55mm planar magnetostatic ribbon element, both driven by extremely powerful neodymium magnet motor systems. Together they cover everything from 2,500Hz through 34kHz with exceptional smoothness, imaging precision, and effortless dynamic response at any listening level. The dual 7-inch bass and midrange drivers feature DALI's second-generation Soft Magnetic Compound in both the motor system and, uniquely, the crossover inductor cores, eliminating the eddy current losses and non-linear magnetic distortion that conventional steel pole pieces and iron-core inductors generate. Combined with Clarity Cone Technology paper and wood fibre diaphragms, this results in astonishingly low distortion and micro-detail retrieval that brings recordings to life with remarkable tonal accuracy and textural realism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e3.5-Way Architecture and Continuous-Flare Bass Reflex Ports\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe EPIKORE 7's 3.5-way designation reflects a crossover architecture in which one pair of drivers operates over a partial frequency band rather than a fully dedicated range, allowing the bass workload to be distributed between dedicated deep bass and upper bass operation within the same dual-driver array. The three crossover points at 800Hz, 2,500Hz, and 12,500Hz divide the frequency range to minimize the operating bandwidth of each driver section, reducing intermodulation distortion and preserving linearity across the EPIKORE 7's full output range. Continuous-flare bass reflex ports, progressively widening from throat to mouth, minimize air turbulence and compression during demanding bass passages, delivering cleaner and more dynamically unconstrained low-frequency reproduction from a reflex system tuned to 33Hz. DALI recommends positioning the EPIKORE 7 between 35cm and 120cm from the rear wall for optimal bass integration and stereo imaging depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCabinet Engineering: Die-Cast Aluminium Baffle, Curved MDF, and Adjustable Spike Arms\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe EPIKORE 7's cabinet is constructed from curved 18mm MDF panels with a substantially thicker 40mm front baffle, providing the rigidity and resonance resistance required to keep the enclosure acoustically inert at the EPIKORE 7's output levels. The front baffle and sub-chassis are die-cast aluminium, a material chosen for its combination of high stiffness, excellent vibration damping, and non-magnetic properties that prevent the baffle structure from interacting with the driver magnetic circuits. The die-cast aluminium construction also supports adjustable spike arms for optimal speaker placement and angle adjustment without requiring repositioning of the full cabinet. Real-wood veneer with sumptuous piano-finish lacquering in three exclusive high-gloss finishes, High Gloss Black, High Gloss Walnut, and High Gloss Maroon, completes a cabinet that is simultaneously an acoustic engineering achievement and a statement of refined Danish design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEVO-K Hybrid Tweeter from the DALI KORE:\u003c\/strong\u003e In-house-developed 35mm soft dome tweeter combined with a 10 x 55mm planar magnetostatic ribbon element and neodymium magnet motors, delivering smooth, effortless high-frequency reproduction from 2,500Hz to 34kHz with wide horizontal dispersion.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDual 7-Inch SMC Gen-2 Clarity Cone Drivers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Second-generation Soft Magnetic Compound in both motor systems and crossover inductor cores, combined with paper and wood fibre Clarity Cone diaphragms, for ultra-low-loss, ultra-low-distortion bass and midrange reproduction with exceptional micro-detail retrieval.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSMC Gen-2 Crossover Inductor Cores:\u003c\/strong\u003e The world's most advanced crossover inductor technology applied within the EPIKORE 7's 3.5-way network, minimizing signal loss and non-linearity through the crossover components for exceptional network transparency.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3.5-Way Crossover at 800Hz, 2,500Hz, and 12,500Hz:\u003c\/strong\u003e Three crossover points distribute the frequency range into optimally specialized driver sections, minimizing intermodulation distortion and maximizing linearity across the full operating range.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContinuous-Flare Bass Reflex Ports Tuned to 33Hz:\u003c\/strong\u003e Progressive port geometry eliminates air turbulence and compression, delivering cleaner, deeper, and more accurate bass reproduction supporting the EPIKORE 7's 35Hz lower frequency limit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e35Hz-34kHz Frequency Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full-range coverage from extended bass through the ribbon super-tweeter's 34kHz ceiling, capturing the complete harmonic and spatial information of any musical source or high-resolution recording format.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e110dB Maximum SPL:\u003c\/strong\u003e High dynamic headroom for realistic reproduction of orchestral, large-scale, and cinematic material at demanding listening levels in medium to large rooms.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e6-Ohm Nominal Impedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e More amplifier-friendly than the 4-ohm EPIKORE 9 and 11, making the EPIKORE 7 compatible with a broader range of high-quality integrated and separates amplifiers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDie-Cast Aluminium Baffle and Sub-Chassis:\u003c\/strong\u003e Non-magnetic, high-stiffness aluminium baffle and sub-chassis reduce coloration, prevent driver magnetic circuit interaction, and support adjustable spike arms for optimal placement and angle tuning.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e40mm Thick Front Baffle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Substantially thicker than the 18mm curved MDF side panels, providing maximum rigidity at the critical driver mounting interface to prevent baffle flex and resonance during high-level playback.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThree Exclusive High-Gloss Finishes:\u003c\/strong\u003e High Gloss Black, High Gloss Walnut, and High Gloss Maroon piano-lacquer finishes over real-wood veneer, built by DALI in Denmark.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBi-Wire Capable:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dual binding terminal configuration supports separate cable runs to the high-frequency and low-frequency sections for reduced inter-driver cable interaction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCrossover Principle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.5-Way\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrequency Range (+\/-3dB)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e35Hz -

It covers 35Hz to 34kHz with 88dB sensitivity, 6-ohm nominal impedance, and 110dB maximum SPL, weighing 40.5kg per speaker. The EPIKORE 7 is available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the DALI EPIKORE 7 compare to the EPIKORE 9 and EPIKORE 11?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI EPIKORE 7, 9, and 11 all share the EVO-K Hybrid Tweeter and SMC Gen-2 driver technology inherited from the KORE, and all are built by DALI in Denmark to the same high standard of cabinet craftsmanship. The EPIKORE 7 uses a 3.5-way network with dual 7-inch drivers in a 6-ohm load suited to medium and large rooms, reaching 35Hz and 110dB SPL at 40.5kg per speaker. The EPIKORE 9 steps up to a 4-way network with two 8-inch SMC Gen-2 woofers and a dedicated midrange driver, extending to 29Hz and 112dB at 64kg per speaker in a 4-ohm load for larger rooms. The EPIKORE 11 adds two further 8-inch woofers in a 4.5-way configuration, reaching 116dB at 75.6kg per speaker for the most demanding large-room installations. The EPIKORE 7 is the most amplifier-friendly of the three at 6 ohms and the lightest to deliver and place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat amplifier does the DALI EPIKORE 7 pair well with?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI EPIKORE 7's 6-ohm nominal impedance and 88dB sensitivity make it significantly more amplifier-friendly than the 4-ohm EPIKORE 9 and 11, compatible with a broad range of high-quality integrated and separates amplifiers delivering between 40W and 400W. Its 6-ohm load is within the comfortable operating range of most premium integrated amplifiers, and its sensitivity means it reaches satisfying listening levels from moderate power without requiring the high-current amplification that the 4-ohm EPIKORE models demand. Vinyl Sound in Toronto can advise on specific amplifier pairings matched to the EPIKORE 7 and your listening room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does the 3.5-way crossover mean on the EPIKORE 7?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 3.5-way crossover indicates that one group of drivers operates over only a partial frequency band rather than a fully dedicated range. In the EPIKORE 7, the dual 7-inch drivers handle both bass and midrange duties, but the two drivers are not operating identically across the full range: one is progressively rolled off at a lower frequency than the other, creating a sub-bass driver and an upper bass and midrange driver within the same physical pair. The 800Hz, 2,500Hz, and 12,500Hz crossover points reflect the transitions between these internal driver divisions, the midrange-to-tweeter dome handover, and the dome-to-ribbon super-tweeter handover respectively.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the DALI EPIKORE 7 suitable for vinyl playback?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the DALI EPIKORE 7 is an outstanding choice for high-resolution vinyl replay. Its SMC Gen-2 drivers and Clarity Cone Technology diaphragms resolve the micro-dynamics, fine tonal textures, and spatial information that high-end turntable and phono stage systems are capable of retrieving from the groove. The EPIKORE 7's 35Hz lower extension captures the full low-frequency content of orchestral and acoustic recordings on vinyl, while the EVO-K ribbon super-tweeter extends to 34kHz well beyond the 20kHz conventional audible ceiling to reproduce the harmonic overtones that contribute to the sense of natural instrument timbre in vinyl playback.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat finishes are available for the DALI EPIKORE 7?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI EPIKORE 7 is available in three exclusive high-gloss piano-lacquer finishes over real-wood veneer: High Gloss Black, High Gloss Walnut, and High Gloss Maroon. All three finishes are built by DALI in Denmark to the same standard of cabinet craftsmanship.

The EVO-K Hybrid Tweeter, developed exclusively for the KORE, is present in its full form: a 35mm in-house-developed soft dome tweeter paired with a 10 x 55mm planar magnetostatic ribbon element driven by neodymium magnet motor systems, covering 2,800Hz through 34kHz with the smooth, effortless dynamics and wide horizontal dispersion that define the EVO-K's sonic character at any volume level. The 7-inch bass and midrange driver is newly designed specifically for the EPIKORE 3, equipped with an exceptionally large and powerful magnet system featuring SMC Gen-2 Soft Magnetic Compound technology that eliminates eddy current losses and non-linear magnetic distortion from the motor circuit. DALI's Clarity Cone Technology paper and wood fibre diaphragm further dampens unwanted resonances throughout the driver's operating range, delivering astonishing low-loss, low-distortion reproduction from a single driver handling the full bass and midrange bandwidth below 2,800Hz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eContinuous-Flare Bass Reflex Port and 42Hz Extension\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe EPIKORE 3's bass reflex enclosure uses a continuous-flare port geometry that progressively widens from throat to mouth, minimizing air velocity and turbulence at the port exit to reduce port noise and dynamic compression during demanding bass passages. The reflex system is tuned to 39Hz, supporting the EPIKORE 3's 42Hz lower frequency limit, a genuinely extended bass reach for a stand-mount loudspeaker of its cabinet volume, achieved through the combination of the 7-inch woofer's large effective radiating area and the continuous-flare port's efficient low-turbulence air discharge. DALI recommends positioning the EPIKORE 3 between 35cm and 120cm from the rear wall, on a dedicated stand or shelf, for optimal bass integration and stereo imaging.

It covers 42Hz to 34kHz with 85dB sensitivity, 6-ohm nominal impedance, and 108dB maximum SPL, weighing 22kg per speaker. The EPIKORE 3 is available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada, with the optional EPIKORE Stand available separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the DALI EPIKORE 3 compare to the EPIKORE 7 and the Harbeth M30.2 XD?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI EPIKORE 3 shares the EVO-K Hybrid Tweeter and SMC Gen-2 Clarity Cone driver technology directly with the EPIKORE 7 floorstander, making it the only stand-mount speaker in the EPIKORE range to carry the full KORE technology package in a compact format. The EPIKORE 7 adds a second 7-inch driver in a 3.5-way configuration, extending to 35Hz versus the EPIKORE 3's 42Hz and reaching 110dB versus 108dB, while the EPIKORE 3's 22kg per speaker weight makes it far more practical to position and place. Against the Harbeth M30.2 XD, the EPIKORE 3's EVO-K ribbon super-tweeter extends to 34kHz versus the Harbeth's conventional dome tweeter ceiling, while its SMC Gen-2 motor technology addresses magnetic circuit distortion in a fundamentally different way to Harbeth's RADIAL cone approach. The Harbeth's 84dB sensitivity is comparable to the EPIKORE 3's 85dB, though the Harbeth's 8-ohm nominal impedance is more universally amplifier-friendly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the DALI EPIKORE 3 need a dedicated stand?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI EPIKORE 3 is recommended for use on a dedicated stand or shelf, and DALI offers the purpose-built EPIKORE Stand as the optimal acoustic and mechanical partner for this speaker. The EPIKORE Stand is engineered specifically for the EPIKORE 3, with a machined top plate matched to the speaker's cabinet base, integrated floor spikes with outriggers, internal cable routing, and a sand-fill option for increased mass and vibration damping. While the EPIKORE 3 can perform well on a quality third-party stand of appropriate height, the EPIKORE Stand is the recommended choice for listeners who want to realize the speaker's full acoustic potential as its designers intended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat amplifier power does the DALI EPIKORE 3 need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI EPIKORE 3 is rated for amplifiers delivering between 40W and 250W into its 6-ohm nominal load. Its 85dB sensitivity is moderate, meaning it benefits from amplifiers with clean power delivery rather than simply high wattage, particularly for resolving the fine micro-dynamic detail that the SMC Gen-2 driver and EVO-K tweeter are capable of revealing. A high-quality integrated amplifier in the 50-150W range with stable 6-ohm output capability is appropriate for most listening rooms. Vinyl Sound can advise on specific amplifier pairings suited to the EPIKORE 3 and your room size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the DALI EPIKORE 3 suitable for smaller rooms?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the EPIKORE 3 is specifically designed to bring KORE-level technology into smaller listening spaces where the EPIKORE 7, 9, and 11 floorstanders would be acoustically overwhelming or physically impractical. Its 42Hz bass extension and 108dB maximum SPL provide genuine authority and dynamic capability for a stand-mount speaker, while its compact 470 x 250 x 420mm cabinet dimensions allow placement in rooms where full floorstanders would dominate the space. The 35-120cm rear wall placement recommendation gives reasonable flexibility for room integration in typical domestic listening environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat finishes is the DALI EPIKORE 3 available in?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI EPIKORE 3 is available in three exclusive high-gloss piano-lacquer finishes over real-wood veneer, matching the finish options across the EPIKORE floorstanding range.

All three 6.5-inch bass and midrange drivers use Clarity Cone Technology paper and wood fibre composite diaphragms combined with SMC Soft Magnetic Compound motor systems, reducing eddy current losses and non-linear magnetic distortion for low-loss, low-distortion reproduction across the full bass and midrange bandwidth. The crossover network employs SMC-KORE inductors, the same low-loss inductor technology developed for the KORE's legendary crossover, minimizing signal degradation through the complex 2.5+0.5+0.5-way network and maintaining exceptional crossover transparency. The hybrid tweeter module introduces a brand-new ferrofluid-free 29mm soft dome tweeter designed specifically for the RUBIKORE range, pairing low-loss dome operation without ferrofluid damping with the wide-dispersion 17 x 45mm planar magnetostatic ribbon element for crystal-clear, extended high-frequency reproduction from 2,400Hz through 34kHz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFerrofluid-Free Dome Tweeter and Hybrid Tweeter Module\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe RUBIKORE 8's 29mm soft dome tweeter is a brand-new design developed specifically for this speaker, notable for its deliberate omission of ferrofluid from the voice coil gap. Ferrofluid, while commonly used to improve tweeter power handling and add mechanical damping to the driver's resonant behavior, introduces viscous damping that compresses micro-dynamic peaks and limits the tweeter's ability to resolve fine transient detail at low listening levels. By eliminating ferrofluid, the RUBIKORE 8's tweeter maintains the highest possible dynamic range and low-level resolution, preserving the delicate natural warmth and detail that distinguish the RUBIKORE 8's high-frequency character. The 17 x 45mm planar magnetostatic ribbon element extends response from 14,000Hz to 34kHz with the characteristic speed and air of planar technology, integrating seamlessly with the dome above the 14kHz crossover point for coherent, wide-dispersion high-frequency performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eComplex Crossover Architecture and Continuous-Flare Bass Reflex Ports\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe RUBIKORE 8's 2.5+0.5+0.5-way crossover architecture with points at 500Hz, 800Hz, 2,400Hz, and 14,000Hz represents one of the most sophisticated crossover topologies in its class. The multi-step bass crossover progressively rolls off individual drivers at different frequencies, distributing the deep bass, upper bass, and lower midrange workloads across the three 6.5-inch drivers in a way that minimizes intermodulation distortion and cone excursion in any single driver while maximizing the system's collective bass surface area and dynamic headroom. SMC-KORE inductors throughout the network ensure that this complexity does not translate into signal loss or coloration. Continuous-flare bass reflex ports minimize turbulence and compression during high-output bass passages, supporting the RUBIKORE 8's 38Hz lower frequency limit from a bass reflex enclosure tuned to 33Hz.

It covers 38Hz to 34kHz with 90.5dB sensitivity, 4-ohm nominal impedance, and 112dB maximum SPL, in a slender 220mm wide cabinet in four exclusive finishes weighing 30kg per speaker. The RUBIKORE 8 is available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the DALI RUBIKORE 8 compare to the DALI EPIKORE 7 and Focal Kanta No. 2?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI RUBIKORE 8 and EPIKORE 7 are distinct product families within DALI's range, each applying KORE-derived technology in different ways. The RUBIKORE 8's three-woofer 2.5+0.5+0.5-way architecture with 90.5dB sensitivity in a slender 220mm cabinet prioritizes placement flexibility and high sensitivity, while the EPIKORE 7's dual 7-inch SMC Gen-2 drivers with EVO-K Hybrid Tweeter in a wider cabinet prioritizes the full EVO-K ribbon extension to 34kHz from 2,500Hz versus the RUBIKORE 8's ribbon entry at 14,000Hz. Against the Focal Kanta No. 2, the RUBIKORE 8's SMC-KORE inductor crossover and ferrofluid-free dome represent a different approach to distortion reduction than Focal's Beryllium tweeter and Flax cone technology, while the RUBIKORE 8's 90.5dB sensitivity significantly exceeds the Kanta No. 2's 91dB, making both relatively easy to drive despite their 4-ohm nominal impedance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat makes the ferrofluid-free tweeter in the RUBIKORE 8 significant?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 29mm soft dome tweeter in the RUBIKORE 8 was designed from the outset without ferrofluid in the voice coil gap, a deliberate engineering choice that prioritizes dynamic range and micro-detail resolution over power handling convenience. Ferrofluid's viscous damping compresses transient peaks and introduces a subtle veiling of fine high-frequency detail that is most audible at low listening levels where micro-dynamics are most revealing. By eliminating ferrofluid, the RUBIKORE 8's tweeter maintains its full dynamic linearity from the softest to the loudest passages, contributing directly to the natural warmth and delicacy that DALI identifies as central to the RUBIKORE 8's sonic character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does the complex 2.5+0.5+0.5-way crossover achieve?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe RUBIKORE 8's 2.5+0.5+0.5-way crossover distributes the frequency workload across its three 6.5-inch drivers and hybrid tweeter module in a highly specialized way. Rather than operating all three woofers across the full bass range simultaneously, the crossover progressively rolls off individual drivers at 500Hz and 800Hz so that the lowest frequencies are handled by the full trio while progressively fewer drivers operate in the upper bass and lower midrange. This reduces cone excursion and intermodulation distortion in the drivers transitioning toward midrange frequencies, while the full three-driver array contributes bass surface area and dynamic headroom below 500Hz. The additional 0.5-way steps at the tweeter module further refine the dome-to-ribbon transition at 14,000Hz. SMC-KORE inductors ensure that this topological complexity does not introduce signal loss or coloration into the network.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the DALI RUBIKORE 8 suitable for home theatre as well as stereo?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, DALI specifically identifies the RUBIKORE 8 as suited to both ambitious high-end home Hi-Fi and home theatre front-channel applications. Its 90.5dB sensitivity, 112dB maximum SPL, and wide 38Hz-34kHz bandwidth make it capable of delivering the dynamic range and frequency extension required for cinematic content at reference levels. The 25-180cm rear wall placement flexibility is particularly valuable in home theatre rooms where speaker positioning is often constrained by screen placement and room layout. Its slender 220mm cabinet profile is also less visually intrusive in a home theatre context than wider floorstanding designs of comparable output capability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the DALI RUBIKORE 8 in Toronto or Canada?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI RUBIKORE 8 is available at Vinyl Sound, an authorized DALI dealer in Toronto, Canada.

Both 6.5-inch bass and midrange drivers use Clarity Cone Technology paper and wood fibre composite diaphragms combined with SMC Soft Magnetic Compound motor systems, eliminating eddy current losses and non-linear magnetic distortion for low-loss, low-distortion reproduction across the full bass and midrange bandwidth. The crossover network employs SMC-KORE inductors throughout its 2.5+0.5-way topology, maintaining the signal transparency that conventional iron-core inductors cannot achieve. The hybrid tweeter module's brand-new ferrofluid-free 29mm soft dome operates without the viscous damping that ferrofluid introduces, preserving maximum dynamic range and micro-detail resolution from 2,600Hz, while the 17 x 45mm planar magnetostatic ribbon extends high-frequency response from 14,000Hz through 34kHz with the characteristic speed and air of planar technology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCompact Floorstanding Design with Wide Placement Flexibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe RUBIKORE 6's slender 200mm wide, 990mm tall cabinet achieves the output capability and frequency extension of a conventional medium floorstander in a footprint more closely associated with a tall bookshelf speaker. The 2.5+0.5-way crossover with points at 800Hz, 2,600Hz, and 14,000Hz distributes the frequency workload across the two drivers and hybrid tweeter module to minimize intermodulation distortion and maintain linearity across the RUBIKORE 6's full output range, with SMC-KORE inductors ensuring the network's complexity does not translate into signal loss. Continuous-flare bass reflex ports, tuned to 34Hz, support the 38Hz lower frequency limit and minimize turbulence during demanding bass passages. DALI recommends placement between 20cm and 180cm from the rear wall, the widest placement range in the RUBIKORE lineup, giving the RUBIKORE 6 exceptional room integration flexibility suited to the varied placement constraints of medium to large domestic listening rooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDanish Furniture Design and Handcrafted Cabinet\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe RUBIKORE 6's slim cabinet embodies the Danish tradition of joinery and cabinet making, combining an elegant narrow baffle profile with internal bracing that creates an immensely rigid and inert acoustic platform.

It covers 38Hz to 34kHz with 88.5dB sensitivity, 4-ohm nominal impedance, and 110dB maximum SPL, in a 200mm wide cabinet in four exclusive finishes weighing 23kg per speaker. The RUBIKORE 6 is available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the DALI RUBIKORE 6 compare to the RUBIKORE 8 and the KEF R7?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI RUBIKORE 6 and RUBIKORE 8 share identical driver technology, tweeter module, and crossover inductor specification, differing in driver count and cabinet scale. The RUBIKORE 8 adds a third 6.5-inch woofer in a more complex 2.5+0.5+0.5-way topology, reaching 112dB versus the RUBIKORE 6's 110dB and 90.5dB versus 88.5dB sensitivity at 30kg versus 23kg per speaker, making the RUBIKORE 8 the stronger choice for very large rooms or high-output home theatre applications. Against the KEF R7, the RUBIKORE 6's SMC-KORE inductor crossover and ferrofluid-free dome represent a fundamentally different approach to low-loss signal transmission than KEF's Uni-Q coincident driver technology, while the RUBIKORE 6's ribbon super-tweeter extends to 34kHz versus the R7's conventional dome ceiling and its 20-180cm rear wall flexibility exceeds the R7's more constrained placement recommendations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does ferrofluid-free mean for the RUBIKORE 6 tweeter?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 29mm soft dome tweeter in the RUBIKORE 6 was designed without ferrofluid in its voice coil gap. Ferrofluid is commonly used in dome tweeters to improve heat dissipation and add mechanical damping, but its viscous nature introduces compression of micro-dynamic peaks and a subtle veiling of fine transient detail that is particularly audible at low listening levels. By eliminating ferrofluid, DALI's engineers prioritized dynamic linearity and low-level resolution over power handling convenience, giving the RUBIKORE 6's tweeter the ability to resolve the delicate high-frequency detail in acoustic instruments, vocals, and spatial cues that ferrofluid-damped tweeters can obscure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the DALI RUBIKORE 6 suitable for home theatre use?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, DALI specifically identifies the RUBIKORE 6 as suited to both high-end stereo and home theatre front-channel applications in medium to large rooms. Its 88.5dB sensitivity, 110dB maximum SPL, and 38Hz-34kHz bandwidth deliver the dynamic range and frequency extension required for cinematic content at reference levels, while the 20-180cm rear wall placement flexibility accommodates the varied positioning constraints of home theatre room layouts. The slender 200mm wide cabinet is less visually intrusive than wider floorstanders of comparable output capability, making it practical for placement alongside a large display or projection screen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat amplifier does the DALI RUBIKORE 6 pair well with?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI RUBIKORE 6's 4-ohm nominal impedance requires an amplifier with stable current delivery into low impedance loads, though its 88.5dB sensitivity means it reaches satisfying listening levels from 40W upward in most medium to large rooms. A high-quality integrated amplifier with robust 4-ohm capability in the 80-200W range is appropriate for most installations. Vinyl Sound in Toronto can advise on specific amplifier pairings matched to the RUBIKORE 6 and your room size and system goals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the DALI RUBIKORE 6 in Toronto or Canada?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI RUBIKORE 6 is available at Vinyl Sound, an authorized DALI dealer in Toronto, Canada.

Debuted at High End Munich 2024 and part of the EISA Loudspeaker Series 2025-2026 Award-winning RUBIKORE family, the RUBIKORE 2 is the most compact model in a range that draws engineering directly from the flagship DALI KORE.

With a sensitivity of 87 dB, a nominal impedance of 4 ohms, and bi-wiring and bi-amping terminals, the RUBIKORE 2 rewards quality amplification with exceptional detail, low-loss dynamics, and wide dispersion in small to medium-sized listening spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eClarity Cone SMC Driver: KORE Technology in a Compact Format\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe RUBIKORE 2's 6.5-inch mid\/bass driver uses DALI's Clarity Cone membrane, constructed from a proprietary blend of paper and wood fibre for high stiffness and natural internal damping. The motor system employs DALI's patented SMC (Soft Magnetic Composite) material, carried forward from the flagship KORE in the form of the SMC-KORE inductor. SMC in the motor circuit dramatically reduces hysteresis and eddy current losses, the primary sources of third-order harmonic distortion in conventional driver designs. The result is a midrange that is free from the veil and softness associated with conventional iron-core inductors, delivering clarity and resolution at low and moderate listening levels where conventional drivers mask fine musical detail. A dual-magnet system provides a high and stable magnetic flux density across the full excursion range, contributing to the RUBIKORE 2's ability to track complex bass passages with timing precision unusual for a speaker of this size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFerrofluid-Free Tweeter and Continuous-Flare Port: Low-Loss from Top to Bottom\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe RUBIKORE 2's 29mm soft dome tweeter was developed specifically for the RUBIKORE series and is notable for the complete absence of ferrofluid in the voice coil gap. Ferrofluid is widely used in soft dome tweeters for cooling and damping, but it introduces mechanical loss into the tweeter's operation and degrades over time, particularly at high temperatures. The DALI-designed, ferrofluid-free tweeter achieves thermal stability through precise mechanical engineering rather than fluid damping, delivering a lower-loss, more transparent high-frequency response that remains consistent over the speaker's lifespan. The Continuous-Flare bass reflex port uses variable-diameter geometry across its full length, a technology first seen in the DALI EPIKORE 11, to eliminate organ-pipe resonance modes in the port itself and maintain laminar airflow at all output levels. Combined with a recommended rear-wall distance of 20 to 120 cm, the port architecture gives the RUBIKORE 2 broad placement flexibility with consistent bass performance from stand, shelf, or furniture installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHandcrafted Danish Cabinet: Rigidity, Resonance Control, and Finish\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe RUBIKORE 2's cabinet is designed, developed, and assembled at DALI's production facilities in Allerød, Denmark, with numerous locally sourced components and materials. The internally braced MDF enclosure features gently curved front and rear panels, which reduce panel resonance modes compared to flat-panel construction and contribute to the cabinet's exceptionally inert acoustic character. The cabinet is available in three exclusive finishes that reflect the long tradition of Danish joinery and furniture design, with a premium surface quality and handcrafted finish standard consistent with DALI's high-end production values. M8 spike threads are provided for stand-mounting, with a recommended rear-wall distance of 20 to 120 cm and a crossover frequency of 2,800 Hz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey

Introduced at High End Munich 2024, it is the most compact model in the RUBIKORE series, featuring a 6.5-inch Clarity Cone SMC paper and wood-fibre driver, a ferrofluid-free 29mm soft dome tweeter, and a Continuous-Flare bass reflex port tuned to 44 Hz. With a frequency range of 50 Hz to 26,000 Hz, a sensitivity of 87 dB, and a nominal impedance of 4 ohms, it is handcrafted at DALI's production facilities in Denmark and forms part of the EISA Loudspeaker Series 2025-2026 Award-winning RUBIKORE family.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the DALI RUBIKORE 2 compare to the KEF R3 Meta and Bowers and Wilkins 706 S3?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI RUBIKORE 2, KEF R3 Meta, and Bowers and Wilkins 706 S3 are all premium stand-mount loudspeakers in a similar price bracket, each with a distinct engineering identity. The KEF R3 Meta uses a coincident Uni-Q driver with Metamaterial Absorption Technology for point-source imaging, while the Bowers and Wilkins 706 S3 employs a carbon-dome tweeter on-top and Continuum cone mid\/bass driver for a detailed, forward-leaning presentation. The RUBIKORE 2 differentiates itself through KORE-derived SMC motor technology in both the driver and crossover inductor, a ferrofluid-free tweeter for lower mechanical loss, and a Continuous-Flare port for reduced turbulence and port resonance. What Hi-Fi? noted the RUBIKORE 2 competes directly with the Award-winning KEF R3 Meta and carries a premium feel that justifies its positioning at the top of the compact stand-mount category.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat amplifier does the DALI RUBIKORE 2 need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI RUBIKORE 2 has a nominal impedance of 4 ohms and a sensitivity of 87 dB, which means it is not a particularly difficult speaker to drive but benefits meaningfully from a quality amplifier of 40 to 150 watts per channel. TechRadar and What Hi-Fi? both noted that the RUBIKORE 2 rewards a smoother, well-controlled amplifier partner and that careful matching is worthwhile at this level. Integrated amplifiers and power amplifiers from brands such as Rotel, Rega, Musical Fidelity, Chord Electronics, and Naim represent natural pairing candidates. The bi-wire and bi-amp terminals allow further optimisation for owners who wish to dedicate separate amplification to the tweeter and mid\/bass driver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the SMC-KORE technology in the RUBIKORE 2?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSMC-KORE refers to DALI's application of Soft Magnetic Composite material in both the driver motor system and the crossover inductors of the RUBIKORE series. In the driver motor, SMC replaces conventional iron in the pole piece, reducing hysteresis and eddy current losses that are primary sources of third-order harmonic distortion. In the crossover, an SMC-KORE inductor replaces the conventional iron-core coil, eliminating the magnetic saturation and non-linearity that iron cores introduce when carrying large audio signals. Together, these two applications of SMC technology reduce distortion at both the transduction and signal-routing levels, producing a cleaner, more transparent sound that is audible as improved midrange clarity and resolution at moderate listening levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy does the DALI RUBIKORE 2 use a ferrofluid-free tweeter?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFerrofluid is a magnetic fluid used in many soft dome tweeters to cool the voice coil and add mechanical damping, which helps protect the driver at high output levels. However, ferrofluid also introduces viscous drag into the tweeter's moving system, which increases mechanical loss and reduces the transparency and openness of the high-frequency response. Over time, ferrofluid can also degrade, thicken, or dry out, altering the tweeter's sonic character. DALI designed the RUBIKORE 2's tweeter to achieve voice coil cooling through precise mechanical engineering without ferrofluid, producing a lower-loss, more transparent tweeter that maintains consistent performance over the speaker's lifespan without the degradation associated with fluid-based damping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the DALI RUBIKORE 2 in Toronto or Canada?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI RUBIKORE 2 is available in Toronto and across Canada at Vinyl Sound, an authorised DALI dealer. Vinyl Sound carries the complete RUBIKORE series and can arrange listening demonstrations, amplifier pairing advice, and stand recommendations. Purchasing from an authorised dealer ensures full DALI manufacturer warranty coverage and professional after-sales support throughout Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the DALI RUBIKORE 2 need to be toed-in toward the listening position?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, the DALI RUBIKORE 2 is designed to be placed firing straight ahead with zero toe-in. DALI's wide-dispersion driver and tweeter geometry is optimised for parallel placement, and the company is specific in its recommendation that the speakers point directly forward rather than angled toward the listening position. TechRadar and What Hi-Fi? both confirmed this placement approach during their reviews, noting that the RUBIKORE 2's soundstage width and stability are best served by straight-ahead positioning at a recommended rear-wall distance of 20 to 120 cm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the DALI RUBIKORE 2 suitable for home cinema as well as stereo listening?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the DALI RUBIKORE 2 is suitable for both stereo and home cinema applications. Its wide dispersion and consistent tonal balance across the listening area make it effective as a front stereo pair in a multichannel setup. It is also tonally matched to the RUBIKORE CINEMA centre channel and RUBIKORE ON-WALL surround speakers within the same series, allowing listeners to build a complete, timbre-matched RUBIKORE home cinema system. For two-channel stereo listening, the RUBIKORE 2's KORE-derived driver technology, ferrofluid-free tweeter, and handcrafted Danish cabinet deliver a level of midrange transparency and spatial resolution that suits the most demanding audiophile listening.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dali","offers":[{"title":"High Gloss White","offer_id":46844304687356,"sku":null,"price":5000.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"High Gloss Black","offer_id":46844304720124,"sku":null,"price":5000.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"High Gloss Maroon","offer_id":46844304752892,"sku":null,"price":5000.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Natural Walnut","offer_id":46844304785660,"sku":null,"price":5000.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0116\/1773\/0617\/files\/DaliRubikore2VinylSoundWalnut2.webp?v=1737705977"},{"product_id":"dali-rubikore-on-wall","title":"Dali Rubikore On‑Wall Speaker (Each)","description":"\u003ch1\u003eDALI Rubikore On-Wall Speaker at Vinyl Sound Toronto Canada\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Rubikore On-Wall is a high-end wall-mounted loudspeaker from DALI (Hobro, Denmark), available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada. Launched at High End Munich 2024, it is part of DALI's five-model Rubikore series, which brings Clarity Cone technology, SMC magnet systems, and the Hybrid Tweeter module derived from the flagship DALI KORE loudspeaker to a low-profile, wall-mount format.

The Hybrid Tweeter module is rotatable, allowing correct tweeter orientation in both portrait and landscape wall installations. Handcrafted, assembled, and tested at DALI's production facilities in Denmark using locally sourced components wherever possible, the Rubikore On-Wall is suited to on-wall stereo pairs, home cinema front channels, centre channel, and surround roles in larger listening rooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eClarity Cone Technology with SMC-KORE Magnet System\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Rubikore On-Wall's 6.5-inch bass and midrange driver uses DALI's Clarity Cone technology, a proprietary paper and wood fibre cone with a pressed five-spoke embossed pattern derived from research conducted during the development of the DALI KORE reference speaker. This pattern increases the structural stiffness of the cone as a whole and significantly improves its break-up behaviour, reducing the resonance modes that cause coloration and smearing in conventional flat cones. The driver uses a double magnet system that focuses the magnetic field around the voice coil, reducing losses and improving the precision and linearity of cone movement. DALI's patented SMC (Soft Magnetic Composite) material replaces conventional iron in the motor system, dramatically reducing eddy currents and the braking effects that iron imposes on voice coil movement. The crossover inductors also use the same SMC material, extending the distortion-reducing benefits of the technology from the driver into the crossover network itself. Together these upgrades produce cleaner, lower-distortion bass and midrange reproduction compared to the Rubicon series the Rubikore replaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eRotatable Hybrid Tweeter Module: New Ferrofluid-Free Dome Design\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Rubikore On-Wall carries DALI's signature Hybrid Tweeter module, pairing a 29 mm low-loss soft dome tweeter with a 17 x 45 mm planar magnetostatic tweeter on a shared aluminium faceplate. The soft dome is a brand new ferrofluid-free design, eliminating the magnetic oil that conventional soft dome tweeters use for voice coil cooling and resonance damping. Removing ferrofluid increases the dome's dynamic freedom, speeds up voice coil movement in response to transient signals, and enhances dynamic response and low-level detail retrieval compared to conventional dome tweeters. The dome handles frequencies from 2,900 Hz upward with wide bandwidth and exceptional clarity, while the planar magnetostatic element takes over above 14,000 Hz, extending response to 34,000 Hz with the superior horizontal dispersion and finesse that ribbon-type elements provide. A critical installation feature is that the entire tweeter module is rotatable, ensuring the planar tweeter remains correctly oriented above the dome in both portrait (vertical) and landscape (horizontal) wall-mounted positions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHandcrafted Danish Cabinet with Bass Reflex Tuning\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Rubikore On-Wall cabinet is individually handcrafted, assembled, and tested at DALI's production facilities in Hobro, Denmark, using locally sourced materials and components wherever possible. The low-profile design, at just 142 mm depth, is suitable for wall-mounting in almost any domestic setting. Internal bracing throughout the cabinet minimises panel resonance, providing the acoustically inert platform that high-performance electro-acoustic drivers require. A bass reflex port tuned to 49 Hz extends the low-frequency bandwidth below what a sealed enclosure of equivalent size could achieve, contributing to the Rubikore On-Wall's 59 Hz lower limit despite its shallow cabinet depth. The front baffle incorporates a gentle curve shared with the other Rubikore models, reducing diffraction and improving midrange smoothness. The cabinet is available in three finishes: High Gloss Black, High Gloss White, and Natural Walnut, with a natural walnut satin sheen option also available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClarity Cone 6.5-inch Driver with SMC Magnet System:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paper and wood fibre cone with a pressed five-spoke embossed pattern for improved break-up behaviour.

It is a two-and-a-half-way bass reflex speaker featuring a 6.5-inch Clarity Cone SMC driver and a rotatable Hybrid Tweeter module combining a 29 mm ferrofluid-free soft dome with a 17 x 45 mm planar magnetostatic tweeter. It covers 59 Hz to 34,000 Hz at 88.5 dB sensitivity with a 108 dB maximum SPL from a 142 mm deep cabinet. Handcrafted in Denmark, it is sold individually and suited to on-wall stereo use, home cinema front, centre, and surround channel roles in larger rooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the DALI Rubikore On-Wall compare to the DALI Phantom S-80 and Phantom M-375?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Rubikore On-Wall is a surface-mounted on-wall speaker, while the Phantom S-80 and M-375 are in-wall speakers requiring wall cavity installation. The Rubikore On-Wall uses Clarity Cone SMC technology and a ferrofluid-free Hybrid Tweeter module derived from the DALI KORE reference speaker, placing it in a higher performance and finish tier than the Phantom M series. Compared to the Phantom S-80, the Rubikore On-Wall has a higher-specification Clarity Cone driver with the KORE-derived double magnet and SMC inductors in its crossover, and its handcrafted Danish cabinet and premium finish options reflect its position as a high-end on-wall solution versus the Phantom S series' no-compromise custom installation focus. The Rubikore On-Wall is the correct choice where surface installation is preferred or required and premium audiophile finishes are a priority.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does the rotatable tweeter module allow the Rubikore On-Wall to do?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rotatable Hybrid Tweeter module on the Rubikore On-Wall allows the speaker to be installed in either portrait (vertical) or landscape (horizontal) orientation on the wall while maintaining the correct acoustic relationship between the planar magnetostatic tweeter and the soft dome tweeter. In the Rubikore On-Wall's Hybrid Tweeter design, the planar element should remain positioned above the dome tweeter regardless of the speaker's physical orientation, because this arrangement optimises dispersion into the listening room. Rotating the module 90 degrees when the speaker is installed horizontally as a centre channel or in a landscape surround position maintains this geometry, ensuring correct performance in any orientation without compromising the tweeter system's dispersion characteristics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the Clarity Cone technology in the Rubikore On-Wall?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClarity Cone is DALI's proprietary driver diaphragm technology used in the Rubikore On-Wall's 6.5-inch woofer. It is constructed from a carefully tuned blend of paper and wood fibre with a pressed five-spoke embossed pattern on the cone surface, derived from research conducted during the development of the DALI KORE reference speaker. The embossed pattern increases the overall structural stiffness of the cone and significantly improves its break-up behaviour at higher frequencies, reducing the resonance modes that cause coloration and smearing in conventional flat cones. Combined with the double magnet system and SMC motor technology, Clarity Cone produces a driver with lower distortion, more natural midrange coloration, and better dynamic precision than the standard wood fibre drivers used in the predecessor Rubicon series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the DALI Rubikore On-Wall in Toronto or Canada?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Rubikore On-Wall is available at Vinyl Sound, an authorised DALI dealer in Toronto, Canada. Vinyl Sound carries the full DALI Rubikore series and can assist with system configuration, wall-mounting advice, amplifier matching, and home cinema layout planning. Purchasing from an authorised Canadian dealer ensures full DALI manufacturer warranty coverage and access to experienced local support.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat amplifier suits the DALI Rubikore On-Wall?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Rubikore On-Wall is rated for 20 to 150 watts at a 4-ohm nominal impedance. Its 88.5 dB sensitivity means it reaches adequate listening levels from relatively modest amplification, but the 4-ohm impedance benefits from an amplifier rated for stable 4-ohm current delivery. Integrated amplifiers and stereo receivers from brands such as Hegel, Arcam, NAD, and Rotel in the 60 to 150 watt per channel range at 4 ohms are well matched for stereo use. For home cinema multi-channel use, AV receivers and multi-channel power amplifiers with 4-ohm stable outputs are recommended. The 20-watt minimum power rating makes the Rubikore On-Wall usable in background music and low-level listening environments from modest amplification as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the DALI Rubikore On-Wall be used as a centre channel speaker?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the DALI Rubikore On-Wall is designed for both stereo and home cinema roles including centre channel use. Installed horizontally in landscape orientation as a centre channel, the rotatable Hybrid Tweeter module should be turned so that the planar magnetostatic element remains above the soft dome tweeter, maintaining the correct dispersion geometry into the listening room. DALI designed the Rubikore range as a complete home cinema solution, with the On-Wall serving as the versatile multi-position speaker that can be paired with Rubikore floorstanders or LCR Cinema speakers for a cohesive full-system Rubikore home cinema installation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dali","offers":[{"title":"High Gloss White","offer_id":46844304851196,"sku":null,"price":3000.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"High Gloss Black","offer_id":46844304883964,"sku":null,"price":3000.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Natural Walnut","offer_id":46844304916732,"sku":null,"price":3000.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0116\/1773\/0617\/files\/DaliRubikoreOn-WallVinylSoundWhite2.webp?v=1737706391"},{"product_id":"dali-rubikore-cinema","title":"Dali Rubikore Cinema Loudspeaker (Each)","description":"\u003ch1\u003eDALI RUBIKORE CINEMA LCR Loudspeaker at Vinyl Sound Toronto Canada\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe RUBIKORE CINEMA is a 2+1\/2-way LCR home cinema loudspeaker from DALI (Danish Audiophile Loudspeaker Industries, Allerød, Denmark), available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada. Unveiled at High End Munich 2024 and part of the EISA Loudspeaker Series 2025-2026 Award-winning RUBIKORE family, the RUBIKORE CINEMA is designed to serve left, centre, and right channel roles in demanding home cinema systems using a single speaker model.

The module combines a 29 mm soft dome tweeter, operating from 2,800 Hz upward, with a 17 mm x 45 mm planar magnetostatic tweeter that extends coverage above 14,000 Hz. The planar tweeter is the master of wide, even dispersion and ultra-fine high-frequency detail, while the soft dome provides the dynamic impact and bandwidth continuity through the upper midrange. Together, the two tweeters deliver a coherent and extended high-frequency presentation that spans 2,800 Hz to 34,000 Hz without the gap or overlap that conventional single-tweeter designs experience when operating at the limits of their bandwidth. The Hybrid Tweeter Module rotates 90 degrees within the baffle, allowing the RUBIKORE CINEMA to be installed in either landscape or portrait orientation while keeping the planar tweeter positioned above the soft dome in both configurations. This is the same spatial relationship required for correct dispersion in both orientations, meaning the same speaker can serve as a vertical left or right channel and a horizontal centre channel with identical acoustic performance. No other speaker in the system is required, mirroring professional studio practice where a single LCR design maintains timbre consistency across all three front channels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDual Clarity Cone SMC Drivers and Mundorf Crossover: KORE Technology for the Home Cinema\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe RUBIKORE CINEMA uses two 6.5-inch mid\/bass drivers with DALI's Clarity Cone diaphragm, constructed from a proprietary blend of paper and wood fibre for high stiffness, natural internal damping, and accurate transient response. Both drivers use DALI's SMC (Soft Magnetic Composite) motor system, which reduces hysteresis and eddy current losses in the motor assembly and delivers measurably lower third-order harmonic distortion compared to conventional iron-based motor designs. The 2+1\/2-way crossover network uses audiophile-grade Mundorf capacitors throughout, chosen for their exceptionally low equivalent series resistance and dielectric absorption, which preserves signal integrity through the crossover with minimal loss. In the 2+1\/2-way configuration, both drivers operate through the bass region, but only the upper driver crosses over to the Hybrid Tweeter Module at 2,800 Hz, while the lower driver rolls off at a lower frequency. This architecture provides a larger radiating area for bass output while maintaining a single point of origin for the midrange-to-tweeter handover, which is critical for centre channel dialogue clarity and front left\/right imaging precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRotatable DALI Hybrid Tweeter Module:\u003c\/strong\u003e A combined 29 mm soft dome tweeter and 17 mm x 45 mm planar magnetostatic tweeter module that rotates 90 degrees within the baffle, maintaining correct tweeter alignment for both landscape (centre channel) and portrait (left\/right channel) installations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo 6.5-Inch Clarity Cone SMC Drivers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dual paper and wood-fibre Clarity Cone mid\/bass drivers with SMC motor systems deliver low-distortion, natural midrange clarity and powerful bass from 49 Hz with a maximum SPL of 111 dB.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2+1\/2-Way Crossover with Mundorf Capacitors:\u003c\/strong\u003e A 2+1\/2-way crossover design using audiophile-grade Mundorf capacitors throughout the signal path ensures low-loss, accurate frequency division and preserves the integrity of critical centre-channel dialogue and front-channel dynamics.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e49 Hz to 34,000 Hz Frequency Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e The widest frequency range in the RUBIKORE series, extending to 34,000 Hz courtesy of the planar magnetostatic tweeter, delivering extraordinary resolution of fine high-frequency detail and spatial information in multichannel soundtracks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTrue LCR Versatility:\u003c\/strong\u003e A single RUBIKORE CINEMA speaker serves all three front-channel roles in landscape or portrait orientation, ensuring identical timbre and technology across left, centre, and right channels, mirroring professional mixing studio practice.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandcrafted in Denmark:\u003c\/strong\u003e Designed, developed, and assembled at DALI's production facilities in Allerød, Denmark, with locally sourced components, a rigidly braced MDF cabinet, and a premium Danish furniture-grade finish in three exclusive colourways.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKORE-Derived SMC Motor Technology:\u003c\/strong\u003e SMC Soft Magnetic Composite material in both driver motor systems reduces the primary sources of third-order harmonic distortion, producing midrange clarity and resolution characteristic of DALI's flagship KORE loudspeaker lineage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e89 dB Sensitivity, 4 Ohm Impedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e A higher sensitivity than the RUBIKORE 2 (87 dB) and the same 4-ohm nominal impedance make the CINEMA an efficient but moderately demanding load, well suited to quality AV processors and power amplifiers from 40 to 200 watts per channel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBi-Wire and Bi-Amp Terminals:\u003c\/strong\u003e Separate high- and low-frequency binding posts enable bi-wiring or bi-amping for reduced crossover interaction and optimised amplifier control over the drivers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBass Reflex Port Tuned to 36 Hz:\u003c\/strong\u003e A bass reflex enclosure tuned to 36 Hz provides deeper low-frequency extension than the RUBIKORE 2, supporting the CINEMA's role as both a full-range LCR speaker and a high-output centre channel in large home cinema configurations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eFrequency Range (+\/-3 dB)\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e49 Hz to 34,000 Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSensitivity\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e89 dB at 1m for 2.83V\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eNominal Impedance\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e4 Ohm\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eMaximum SPL\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e111 dB\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCrossover Frequencies\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e2,800 Hz;

It features two 6.5-inch Clarity Cone SMC paper and wood-fibre drivers, a rotatable Hybrid Tweeter Module combining a 29 mm soft dome and a 17 mm x 45 mm planar magnetostatic tweeter, and a crossover network built with Mundorf capacitors. With a frequency range of 49 Hz to 34,000 Hz, a sensitivity of 89 dB, and a maximum SPL of 111 dB, it serves left, centre, and right channel roles in landscape or portrait orientation using a single speaker model, and forms part of the EISA Loudspeaker Series 2025-2026 Award-winning RUBIKORE family.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the rotatable tweeter work in the DALI RUBIKORE CINEMA?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI RUBIKORE CINEMA's Hybrid Tweeter Module is mounted in a sub-baffle that can be rotated 90 degrees independently of the main speaker cabinet. This means that when the speaker is installed in portrait orientation for a left or right front channel, the planar magnetostatic tweeter sits directly above the soft dome tweeter. When the cabinet is rotated to landscape orientation for centre channel use, the tweeter module is also rotated 90 degrees within its baffle, maintaining the same vertical stacking of planar tweeter above soft dome in relation to the listener. This preserves the correct dispersion geometry in both orientations and ensures identical timbre and imaging across all three front channels, which is the fundamental requirement for true LCR performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the DALI RUBIKORE CINEMA compare to the KEF R2c and Bowers and Wilkins HTM72 S3 centre channels?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI RUBIKORE CINEMA, KEF R2c, and Bowers and Wilkins HTM72 S3 represent the premium end of dedicated home cinema centre channel and LCR speaker design. The KEF R2c uses a dual-woofer layout flanking a central Uni-Q coincident driver for point-source imaging, while the Bowers and Wilkins HTM72 S3 uses a carbon-dome tweeter on-top for vertical decoupling from the mid\/bass drivers. The RUBIKORE CINEMA's key advantage is its fully rotatable Hybrid Tweeter Module, which allows the same speaker to serve all three front LCR positions with identical tweeter orientation in both landscape and portrait configurations. This is not possible with fixed-tweeter centre channels such as the R2c or HTM72 S3, which are optimised for horizontal placement only. The RUBIKORE CINEMA also offers the widest frequency extension of the three, reaching 34,000 Hz courtesy of the planar magnetostatic tweeter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the DALI Hybrid Tweeter Module in the RUBIKORE CINEMA?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Hybrid Tweeter Module is a dual-element high-frequency system combining a 29 mm soft dome tweeter and a 17 mm x 45 mm planar magnetostatic tweeter in a single integrated assembly. The soft dome operates from 2,800 Hz to approximately 14,000 Hz, providing dynamic impact, bandwidth continuity, and smooth integration with the mid\/bass drivers. The planar magnetostatic tweeter takes over above 14,000 Hz, delivering the wide dispersion and ultra-fine high-frequency resolution that the planar technology is uniquely suited to provide. The combined system extends to 34,000 Hz, well above the upper limit of human hearing, which helps preserve the phase and transient characteristics of high-frequency content in the audible range. The two tweeters operate together to produce a high-frequency presentation that is more coherent and spatially extended than either element could achieve independently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the DALI RUBIKORE CINEMA be used as a stereo pair as well as a centre channel?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the DALI RUBIKORE CINEMA can serve as a stereo front pair in portrait orientation as well as a centre channel in landscape orientation, which is the core of its LCR design concept. In a typical RUBIKORE home cinema configuration, two RUBIKORE CINEMA speakers are used as the left and right front channels in portrait orientation, and a third is placed horizontally as the centre channel, with the tweeter module rotated to maintain correct vertical alignment in both cases. This approach provides perfect timbre matching across all three front channels using a single speaker model, which is the professional mixing studio standard that DALI has brought to the domestic environment with the RUBIKORE CINEMA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the DALI RUBIKORE CINEMA in Toronto or Canada?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI RUBIKORE CINEMA is available in Toronto and across Canada at Vinyl Sound, an authorised DALI dealer. Vinyl Sound carries the complete RUBIKORE series and can assist with system configuration, amplifier pairing, and placement advice for both stereo and multichannel home cinema installations. Purchasing from an authorised dealer ensures full DALI manufacturer warranty coverage and professional after-sales support throughout Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat amplifier power does the DALI RUBIKORE CINEMA need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDALI recommends amplifier power of 40 to 200 watts per channel for the RUBIKORE CINEMA. Its 89 dB sensitivity and 4-ohm nominal impedance place it in the moderately demanding category, capable of producing high output levels with quality AV amplifiers and processors of 50 to 150 watts per channel, but rewarding higher-powered amplification with improved dynamic headroom and control at elevated listening levels. For the centre channel role, using a high-quality dedicated power amplifier or a quality multichannel amplifier with sufficient current delivery at 4 ohms is recommended to ensure the CINEMA performs at its full capability during demanding home cinema passages.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dali","offers":[{"title":"High Gloss White","offer_id":46844304949500,"sku":null,"price":4000.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"High Gloss Black","offer_id":46844304982268,"sku":null,"price":4000.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Natural Walnut","offer_id":46844305015036,"sku":null,"price":4000.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0116\/1773\/0617\/files\/DaliRubikoreCinemaVinylSoundBlack2.webp?v=1737706627"},{"product_id":"dali-opticon-8-mk2","title":"Dali Opticon 8 Mk2 Floorstanding Speakers (Pair)","description":"\u003ch1\u003eDALI Opticon 8 MK2 Floorstanding Speakers at Vinyl Sound Toronto Canada\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Opticon 8 MK2 is a flagship three-way floorstanding speaker from DALI (Hobro, Denmark), available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada.

A 29 mm soft dome tweeter is paired with a custom 17 x 45 mm planar ribbon element, both mounted on a cast aluminium faceplate derived from DALI's higher-tier Callisto active series. The dome handles frequencies from the crossover point upward with speed and dynamic impact, while the ribbon element is configured to gradually take over above 10 kHz, delivering exceptional air and finesse in the uppermost octaves. The aluminium faceplate incorporates precision dispersion control detailing, ensuring smooth and consistent off-axis performance throughout the listening room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePatented SMC Magnet Technology\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery driver in the OPTICON 8 MK2 benefits from DALI's patented SMC (Soft Magnetic Composite) magnet motor system. The pole piece inside each driver's large ferrite ring magnet is manufactured entirely from SMC, a coated granular material that combines very high magnetic permeability with very low electrical conductivity. This unique combination significantly reduces magnetic hysteresis and eddy currents, resulting in a dramatic reduction in third-order harmonic distortion. The audible benefit is a relaxed, effortless midrange character and a surprisingly high level of low-level detail retrieval, even at extended listening sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAerodynamic Dual-Flare Reflex Port\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe OPTICON 8 MK2 uses a bass reflex loading system to extend low-frequency bandwidth and increase power handling beyond what a sealed enclosure of comparable size could achieve. DALI's dual-flare port geometry is shaped to minimise air turbulence at both the entry and exit points, bringing port design principles closer to those used in aerodynamics. The result is a tuning frequency of 29.5 Hz, deeper low-frequency extension, and a reduction in the port noise and chuffing that can compromise dynamic impact at higher playback levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWood Fibre Drivers and Rigid Cabinet Construction\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe two 8\" bass drivers and the dedicated 6.5\" midrange driver all use cones made from a paper pulp and wood fibre composite.

It is a three-and-a-half-way design featuring dual 8\" woofers, a dedicated 6.5\" midrange driver, and a hybrid tweeter module combining a 29 mm soft dome and a 17 x 45 mm ribbon element. With a frequency range of 38 Hz to 30,000 Hz, 88.5 dB sensitivity, and a recommended amplifier power of 40 to 300 watts, it is designed to deliver full-range, high-resolution sound in large listening rooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the DALI Opticon 8 MK2 compare to the DALI Oberon 9 and Rubicon 8?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Opticon 8 MK2 sits above the Oberon 9 and below the Rubicon 8 in DALI's product hierarchy. Compared to the Oberon 9, the Opticon 8 MK2 adds the hybrid tweeter module with its ribbon element, a dedicated midrange driver for a true three-way design, and the patented SMC magnet system, resulting in a more detailed and refined high-frequency presentation. The Rubicon 8 and Rubikore series step further with upgraded SMC-KORE inductors and more advanced cabinetry, but the Opticon 8 MK2 delivers the core DALI sonic signature, including the hybrid tweeter and SMC technology, at a more accessible level within the range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the DALI Opticon 8 MK2 fill a large room?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the DALI Opticon 8 MK2 is specifically engineered for large listening spaces. Its dual 8\" woofers, bass reflex tuning at 29.5 Hz, and maximum SPL of 112 dB provide the low-frequency bandwidth and dynamic headroom needed to fill larger rooms with ease. A recommended amplifier range of 40 to 300 watts also means it scales well from modest integrated amplifiers to high-powered separates, giving it flexibility for a wide range of room sizes and system configurations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is DALI's SMC (Soft Magnetic Composite) technology?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSMC, or Soft Magnetic Composite, is a patented DALI magnet motor material used in the pole piece of each driver's magnet system. It is a coated granular compound that combines very high magnetic permeability with very low electrical conductivity. This unusual combination reduces magnetic hysteresis and eddy currents inside the motor, which are major sources of non-linear distortion in conventional driver designs. The practical result is a significant reduction in third-order harmonic distortion, producing a more relaxed midrange, greater low-level detail, and less listening fatigue over extended sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the DALI Opticon 8 MK2 in Toronto or Canada?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Opticon 8 MK2 is available at Vinyl Sound, an authorised DALI dealer located in Toronto, Canada. Vinyl Sound carries the full DALI speaker range and can assist with product demonstrations, system matching advice, and Canadian delivery. Purchasing from an authorised Canadian dealer ensures full manufacturer warranty coverage and access to local after-sales support.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat amplifier should I pair with the DALI Opticon 8 MK2?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Opticon 8 MK2 works with a wide range of amplifiers rated between 40 and 300 watts into a 4-ohm load. Its 88.5 dB sensitivity means it does not require an exceptionally powerful amplifier to reach comfortable listening levels, but it responds well to higher-quality amplification. Integrated amplifiers and stereo receivers from brands such as NAD, Rotel, Arcam, and Hegel in the 80 to 200 watt per channel range are a natural match, while the speaker also pairs well with separate pre and power amplifier combinations for more ambitious systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the DALI Opticon 8 MK2 support bi-wiring?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the DALI Opticon 8 MK2 supports bi-wiring via its dual sets of gold-plated binding posts on the rear panel. Bi-wiring allows separate speaker cable runs to the low-frequency and high-frequency sections of the crossover, which some listeners and system configurations benefit from in terms of reduced interaction between bass and treble signal paths. Standard single-wiring with the provided shorting links is fully supported and performs excellently without a bi-wire setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow should the DALI Opticon 8 MK2 be positioned in a listening room?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDALI recommends positioning the Opticon 8 MK2 facing straight ahead without toe-in, due to the wide dispersion characteristics of the hybrid tweeter module. The speakers perform best with some distance from the rear wall to allow the bass reflex port to breathe freely, and a listening position that forms a natural equilateral triangle with the speakers is ideal. The cast aluminium faceplate on the hybrid tweeter incorporates dispersion control detailing that ensures consistent off-axis performance, giving the speakers more placement flexibility than designs with narrower high-frequency dispersion.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dali","offers":[{"title":"Satin Black","offer_id":46846411604220,"sku":null,"price":6500.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Tobacco Oak","offer_id":46846411636988,"sku":null,"price":6500.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0116\/1773\/0617\/files\/DaliOpticon8MK2VinylSoundBlackAsh2.webp?v=1737709495"},{"product_id":"dali-opticon-6-mk2","title":"Dali Opticon 6 Mk2 Floorstanding Speaker (Pair)","description":"\u003ch1\u003eDALI OPTICON 6 MK2 Floorstanding Speakers at Vinyl Sound Toronto Canada\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI OPTICON 6 MK2 is a slim floorstanding loudspeaker from DALI (Skive, Denmark), available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada.

The cast aluminium faceplate provides a rigid, vibration-resistant platform for both drivers and incorporates carefully designed dispersion control geometry that optimizes high-frequency delivery for off-axis listeners, ensuring consistent clarity and detail across a wide horizontal listening window rather than only directly on the primary axis. The soft dome handles the critical 2,200Hz to 14,000Hz band with the clarity, speed, and dynamics characteristic of large-format dome designs, while the planar ribbon takes over from 14,000Hz through 30kHz with the finesse and harmonic resolution that magnetostatic ribbon technology uniquely provides. Together they deliver a high-frequency presentation that the OPTICON MK2 series positions as a significant advancement over conventional single-dome tweeter designs at this price tier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePatented SMC Magnet Motor and Wood Fibre Woofers\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe OPTICON 6 MK2's two 6.5-inch bass drivers use a pole piece manufactured entirely from DALI's patented SMC Soft Magnetic Composite material, surrounded by a large ferrite ring magnet. Unlike the SMC Essential hybrid iron and SMC pole piece used in the SONIK series, the OPTICON 6 MK2 uses a full SMC pole piece throughout, providing a more complete reduction of hysteresis losses and eddy currents across the entire magnetic circuit working zone. DALI's measurements show a drastic reduction in third-order distortion as a result, contributing to the relaxed midrange character and high level of low-level detail retrieval that define the OPTICON MK2 series. The paper pulp and wood fibre cone diaphragms minimize breakup resonance through low mass and controlled internal damping, ensuring high resolution midrange performance and precise, coherent bass reproduction that adds nothing to and subtracts nothing from the amplifier's signal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAerodynamic Dual-Flare Reflex Ports and Rigid Cabinet Construction\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe OPTICON 6 MK2's bass reflex enclosure uses dual-flare port geometry at both the entry and exit of the port tube, an aerodynamically informed design that minimizes turbulence where air velocity is highest and the risk of audible port noise is greatest. The reflex system is tuned to 43.5Hz, enabling the OPTICON 6 MK2's significant internal cabinet volume to extend low-frequency bandwidth and bass output level in a way that makes it ideally suited to large listening spaces.

It covers 49Hz to 30kHz with 88dB sensitivity, 4-ohm nominal impedance, and 110dB maximum SPL, in a 195mm wide cabinet with a 25mm thick front baffle and dual-flare aerodynamic reflex ports. The OPTICON 6 MK2 is available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the DALI OPTICON 6 MK2 compare to the DALI SONIK 7 and the KEF R5 Meta?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI OPTICON 6 MK2 and SONIK 7 both feature hybrid dome and planar ribbon tweeter modules and dual bass drivers, but differ in magnet system specification and cabinet construction. The OPTICON 6 MK2 uses a full SMC pole piece in its 6.5-inch drivers for more comprehensive hysteresis and eddy current reduction than the SONIK 7's SMC Essential hybrid iron and SMC design, and its 25mm thick front baffle with extra internal bracing represents a more rigid cabinet construction at 19.3kg versus the SONIK 7's 16.2kg per speaker. The SONIK 7's 6-ohm impedance is more universally amplifier-friendly than the OPTICON 6 MK2's 4-ohm load. Against the KEF R5 Meta, the OPTICON 6 MK2's hybrid dome and planar ribbon tweeter extends to 30kHz versus the R5 Meta's conventional dome ceiling, while KEF's Metamaterial Absorption Technology and Uni-Q coincident driver represent a fundamentally different approach to diffraction reduction and driver integration than DALI's separate driver and SMC motor design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat makes the full SMC pole piece different from the SMC Essential system in the SONIK series?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe OPTICON 6 MK2's bass drivers use a pole piece manufactured entirely from SMC Soft Magnetic Composite material, meaning the full volume of iron that would normally form the pole piece in a conventional driver is replaced with SMC throughout. In the SONIK series' SMC Essential system, only a portion of the magnetic circuit uses SMC material, with an iron core at the centre of a hybrid pole piece. The full SMC pole piece eliminates hysteresis losses and eddy currents across the entire working zone of the magnetic circuit rather than just in the SMC-occupied portion, achieving a more complete reduction of third-order distortion and a more comprehensively low-loss motor system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy does the OPTICON 6 MK2 tweeter use a cast aluminium faceplate?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cast aluminium faceplate that mounts both the soft dome and planar ribbon elements of the OPTICON 6 MK2's hybrid tweeter module serves two distinct functions. Structurally, aluminium's rigidity and vibration damping properties provide a stable, resonance-free platform for both drivers that prevents the faceplate itself from contributing mechanical noise to the tweeter's output. Acoustically, the faceplate's geometry incorporates dispersion control detailing specifically designed to optimize the horizontal radiation pattern of the high-frequency output for off-axis listeners, ensuring that the same clarity and detail available on the primary listening axis remains consistent across a wide seating area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the DALI OPTICON 6 MK2 suitable for large rooms?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the OPTICON 6 MK2 is specifically identified by DALI as ideally suited to large listening spaces. Its significant internal cabinet volume provides the bass extension and output level required to fill a large room convincingly, while its 110dB maximum SPL ensures it can reach reference listening levels without dynamic compression. The hybrid tweeter's wide horizontal dispersion maintains consistent high-frequency coverage across the broad listening areas typical of larger rooms, and the 25-200W recommended amplifier power range gives it the headroom required for demanding large-room playback.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the DALI OPTICON 6 MK2 in Toronto or Canada?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI OPTICON 6 MK2 is available at Vinyl Sound, an authorized DALI dealer in Toronto, Canada. Vinyl Sound carries the full DALI OPTICON MK2 series alongside the SONIK, RUBIKORE, and EPIKORE ranges, and can provide in-store demonstration and amplifier pairing advice. Purchasing from an authorized Canadian dealer ensures full DALI manufacturer warranty coverage and access to local expert support.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat amplifier does the DALI OPTICON 6 MK2 pair well with?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI OPTICON 6 MK2's 4-ohm nominal impedance requires an amplifier with stable current delivery into low impedance loads, despite the relatively modest 25-200W recommended power range. A quality integrated amplifier rated at 4 ohms with a robust power supply in the 50-150W range is appropriate for most large room installations. Vinyl Sound can advise on specific amplifier pairings suited to the OPTICON 6 MK2 and your room size and system goals in Toronto.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dali","offers":[{"title":"Satin Black","offer_id":46846411669756,"sku":null,"price":3500.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Satin White","offer_id":46846411702524,"sku":null,"price":3500.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Tobacco Oak","offer_id":46846411735292,"sku":null,"price":3500.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0116\/1773\/0617\/files\/DaliOpticon6MK2VinylSoundBlackAsh2.webp?v=1737710219"},{"product_id":"dali-opticon-2-mk2","title":"Dali Opticon 2 Mk2 Bookshelf Speakers (Pair)","description":"\u003ch1\u003eDALI Opticon 2 MK2 Bookshelf Speakers (Pair) at Vinyl Sound Toronto Canada\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Opticon 2 MK2 is a mid-sized stand-mount bookshelf speaker from DALI (Danish Audiophile Loudspeaker Industries, Nørager, Denmark), available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada. Sitting above DALI's Oberon and Spektor series in the brand's lineup, the Opticon 2 MK2 is a thoroughly engineered 2-way performer built for compact to medium-sized listening spaces where it can breathe and deliver its dynamic, explicitly defined sound.

This unusual combination directly addresses two primary sources of driver distortion: magnetic hysteresis and eddy currents. Conventional pole-pieces made from solid steel accumulate eddy currents during driver movement, generating third-order harmonic distortion that adds a subtle but persistent hardness to the sound. By manufacturing the pole-piece entirely from SMC granules, DALI eliminates the electrical pathway for eddy currents entirely. The result is a drastic reduction in third-order distortion, contributing to the Opticon 2 MK2's characteristically relaxed midrange and effortless sense of detailing without listener fatigue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAerodynamic Dual-Flare Reflex Port: Low-Frequency Engineering\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Opticon 2 MK2's bass reflex system incorporates DALI's Dual-Flare port design, which applies aerodynamic principles to port geometry. Both the entry and exit of the port are shaped with carefully profiled flares that keep airflow laminar, preventing the turbulence and chuffing noise that straight or single-flare ports can produce at higher volumes. The bass reflex enclosure is tuned to 46 Hz, channelling the woofer's rear acoustic output to extend low-frequency bandwidth and increase power handling, allowing the Opticon 2 MK2 to produce surprising bass authority from a compact stand-mount cabinet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e29mm Soft Dome Tweeter from the CALLISTO C Series\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Opticon 2 MK2 inherits its high-frequency driver directly from DALI's CALLISTO C active speaker series, a premium wireless loudspeaker line positioned well above the Opticon range. This 29mm soft dome tweeter represents a one-millimetre increase in dome diameter over the 28mm unit used in the original Opticon MK1, which translates to measurably greater radiating area, lower distortion, and higher power handling. Crossed over at 2,000 Hz, the tweeter is mounted on a die-cast aluminium faceplate that provides a rigid, resonance-free foundation and consistent dispersion characteristics.

It features a 6.5-inch wood fibre cone woofer with a patented SMC magnet motor, a 29mm soft dome tweeter derived from the CALLISTO C series, a Dual-Flare bass reflex port, and a 25mm thick front baffle with internal bracing. With a frequency response of 59 Hz to 25 kHz and a maximum SPL of 107 dB, it is designed for compact to medium-sized listening rooms where it can deliver dynamic, low-distortion stereo performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the DALI Opticon 2 MK2 compare to the KEF R3 Meta and the Dynaudio Evoke 10?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Opticon 2 MK2 competes in the mid-range stand-mount bookshelf speaker category alongside the KEF R3 Meta and Dynaudio Evoke 10. The Opticon 2 MK2 is noted for a warmer, more natural midrange character and a wide, even dispersion pattern that creates a generous listening sweet spot, particularly when positioned straight ahead without toe-in. The KEF R3 Meta, with its Uni-Q coaxial driver, offers a more point-source imaging presentation. The Dynaudio Evoke 10 is praised for dynamic authority and bass punch but is typically voiced with more emphasis on impact. The Opticon 2 MK2 is distinguished from both by its patented SMC magnet motor, which directly addresses third-order harmonic distortion at the driver level rather than through crossover compensation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is SMC (Soft Magnetic Composite) and why does it matter?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSMC stands for Soft Magnetic Composite, a proprietary material DALI uses to manufacture the pole-piece inside the woofer's magnet motor system. Unlike conventional steel pole-pieces, SMC is made from magnetically coated iron granules that carry magnetic flux efficiently but block the formation of eddy currents. Eddy currents are induced electrical loops that develop in solid metal pole-pieces during driver operation, and they generate third-order harmonic distortion. By replacing solid steel with SMC, DALI eliminates the conductive pathway for these currents entirely, resulting in a significant reduction in distortion that contributes directly to the Opticon 2 MK2's relaxed, detailed midrange reproduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the DALI Opticon 2 MK2 be used in a surround sound or home cinema system?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the DALI Opticon 2 MK2 is fully compatible with DALI's broader Opticon MK2 lineup for multi-channel home cinema use. Because every speaker in the Opticon MK2 series uses the same 29mm soft dome tweeter, tonal character and dispersion are consistent across channels when pairing the Opticon 2 MK2 with the Opticon VOKAL MK2 centre channel and Opticon LCR MK2 on-wall surrounds. This makes the Opticon 2 MK2 a strong foundation for a cohesive, matched surround sound system with consistent timbre across all listening positions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat amplifier pairs well with the DALI Opticon 2 MK2?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Opticon 2 MK2 has a nominal impedance of 4 ohms and a sensitivity of 86.5 dB, which means it benefits from a capable integrated amplifier with solid current delivery rather than a low-powered tube amplifier or a typical AV receiver. DALI recommends 30W to 150W of amplifier power. Quality integrated amplifiers in the 50W to 100W range at 4 ohms, such as those from Cambridge Audio, Naim, Rotel, or NAD, are well-suited pairings. The Opticon 2 MK2 is notably transparent to electronics quality and will clearly reveal the improvements of better upstream components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the DALI Opticon 2 MK2 in Toronto or Canada?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Opticon 2 MK2 is available at Vinyl Sound, an authorised DALI dealer in Toronto, Canada. Vinyl Sound carries the full Opticon MK2 range and can assist with in-store listening demonstrations, system matching advice, and shipping across Canada. You can shop directly through the Vinyl Sound online store or visit the Toronto showroom in person.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow should the DALI Opticon 2 MK2 be positioned for best sound?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDALI engineers the Opticon 2 MK2 to fire straight ahead rather than angled toward the listening position, which is the opposite of the setup recommended for most competing bookshelf speakers. This straight-ahead positioning takes advantage of the Opticon 2 MK2's wide dispersion pattern, producing a broader, more even stereo image and a more generous listening sweet spot. DALI recommends at least 10cm of clearance from the rear wall, though moving the speakers slightly closer to the wall can add bass weight and solidity. The Opticon 2 MK2 performs best on dedicated speaker stands that raise the tweeter to ear level when seated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Opticon 2 MK2 differ from the original Opticon 2 MK1?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Opticon 2 MK2 introduces several substantive upgrades over the original MK1. The tweeter has grown from 28mm to 29mm and is now derived from the premium CALLISTO C active series, offering lower distortion and higher power handling. The woofer's SMC magnet motor system has been updated with newly developed wood fibre cones closely related to those in the EPICON series. The Dual-Flare reflex port is a new addition that replaces the simpler port design of the MK1, reducing turbulence noise and improving low-frequency consistency at higher volume levels. The crossover has also been redesigned with upgraded components, and the cabinet aesthetic has been refreshed with a new die-cast aluminium tweeter faceplate and updated cabinet finishes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dali","offers":[{"title":"Satin Black","offer_id":46846411768060,"sku":null,"price":2000.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Satin White","offer_id":46846411800828,"sku":null,"price":2000.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Tobacco Oak","offer_id":46846411833596,"sku":null,"price":2000.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0116\/1773\/0617\/files\/DaliOpticon2MK2VinylSoundBlack2.webp?v=1737854345"},{"product_id":"dali-opticon-1-mk2","title":"Dali Opticon 1 MK2 Bookshelf Speaker (Pair)","description":"\u003ch1\u003eDALI Opticon 1 MK2 Bookshelf Speaker at Vinyl Sound Toronto Canada\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Opticon 1 MK2 is a compact stand-mount bookshelf speaker from DALI (Danish Audiophile Loudspeaker Industries, Aalborg, Denmark), available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada.

The woofer magnet system uses a large ferrite ring magnet surrounding a pole piece manufactured entirely from SMC material. This compound dramatically reduces hysteresis and eddy current losses in the motor assembly, cutting third-order harmonic distortion and allowing the driver to track the amplifier signal with exceptional accuracy. The result is a relaxed, open midrange and a level of fine detail retrieval that belies the speaker's compact form factor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDual-Flare Bass Reflex Port: Aerodynamics for Audio\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Opticon 1 MK2 uses a rear-firing bass reflex port tuned to 61.5 Hz, shaped with DALI's proprietary dual-flare profile. Borrowing principles from fluid dynamics and aerodynamics, the dual-flare entry and exit geometry minimises port turbulence at both low and high volume levels, reducing chuffing noise and extending clean low-frequency output well beyond what a sealed cabinet of this size could achieve. The angled rear port orientation also gives the speaker more placement flexibility, allowing it to be positioned closer to a wall without port compression degrading bass performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCALLISTO-Derived 29 mm Soft Dome Tweeter\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lightweight 29 mm soft textile dome tweeter in the Opticon 1 MK2 is derived directly from DALI's CALLISTO C active speaker series. Compared to the 28 mm tweeter used in the Opticon MK1, the larger diaphragm provides lower distortion, increased power handling, and extended low-frequency response — lowering the crossover point and improving integration with the wood fibre woofer. The same 29 mm tweeter is used across the entire OPTICON MK2 range, ensuring consistent tonal character and dispersion for multichannel surround configurations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey

MK2 is a 2-way compact bookshelf speaker made in Denmark, featuring a 4¾\" wood fibre woofer, a 29 mm CALLISTO-derived soft dome tweeter, and the patented SMC magnet system. It covers a frequency range of 62 Hz to 26,500 Hz, handles up to 100 W of amplifier power, and reaches a maximum SPL of 105 dB. Designed for small to medium-sized rooms, it is sold as a matched stereo pair hand-assembled at DALI's facility in Aalborg, Denmark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the DALI Opticon 1 MK2 compare to the KEF Q150 and Monitor Audio Bronze 100?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Opticon 1 MK2 competes directly with the KEF Q150 and Monitor Audio Bronze 100 in the compact bookshelf speaker category. The Opticon 1 MK2 distinguishes itself through its patented SMC magnet technology, which reduces low-order distortion in ways that conventional ferrite motor systems in the Q150 and Bronze 100 cannot match. DALI's wood fibre cone also delivers a warmer, less fatiguing midrange character compared to the more analytical presentation often associated with Monitor Audio's RST cone technology. The Opticon 1 MK2's dual-flare port extends bass output to 62 Hz, competitive with both rival models, while hand-assembly at the DALI factory ensures tighter channel matching in a stereo pair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the DALI Opticon 1 MK2 be used as part of a home theatre surround system?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the DALI Opticon 1 MK2 is well suited for multichannel home theatre use. Because the same 29 mm soft dome tweeter is used across all OPTICON MK2 series models — including the OPTICON VOKAL MK2 centre speaker and OPTICON LCR MK2 on-wall speaker — tonal character and dispersion remain consistent throughout a surround configuration. The included wall bracket and on-wall placement recommendation further support integration into dedicated home cinema setups where stand space is limited.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is DALI's SMC (Soft Magnetic Composite) technology?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSMC, or Soft Magnetic Composite, is a patented DALI material used to manufacture the pole piece inside the woofer's magnet motor. Conventional steel pole pieces generate hysteresis losses and eddy currents as the voice coil modulates the magnetic field during playback. SMC's granular composite structure interrupts these current paths, reducing both phenomena significantly. The practical result is a dramatic reduction in third-order harmonic distortion across the midrange, contributing to the Opticon 1 MK2's relaxed, transparent presentation at all listening levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat amplifier power does the DALI Opticon 1 MK2 require?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Opticon 1 MK2 is rated for amplifiers delivering between 25 and 100 watts into a 4-ohm load. The 4-ohm nominal impedance means the speaker draws more current than an 8-ohm design, so a stable, current-capable integrated amplifier or stereo receiver is recommended. Models such as the Yamaha A-S701, Marantz PM7000N, or NAD C 316BEE V2 pair well with the Opticon 1 MK2, providing the current delivery needed to fully exploit the speaker's dynamic range and low-distortion motor system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the DALI Opticon 1 MK2 in Toronto or Canada?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Opticon 1 MK2 is available at Vinyl Sound, an authorised DALI dealer located in Toronto, Canada. Vinyl Sound carries the full DALI Opticon MK2 lineup and offers expert guidance on system matching and room setup. Canadian customers can shop in-store or contact Vinyl Sound directly for availability and shipping options across Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the DALI Opticon 1 MK2 work well close to a wall?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Opticon 1 MK2 is designed to accommodate a wide range of placement distances, from 2 cm to 80 cm from the rear wall. The rear-firing dual-flare port is angled downward toward the binding posts, directing airflow away from the wall and reducing boundary-induced port compression. A wall bracket is included in the box, and the speaker is specifically listed as suitable for on-wall mounting, making it one of the more placement-flexible compact bookshelf speakers in its class.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow is the DALI Opticon 1 MK2 different from the original Opticon 1?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Opticon 1 MK2 upgrades the original Opticon 1 with a new 29 mm soft dome tweeter sourced from the premium CALLISTO C series, replacing the previous 28 mm unit. The larger diaphragm delivers lower distortion, better power handling, and improved integration with the woofer. The cabinet receives a refreshed aesthetic with a 25 mm thick front baffle, a new die-cast aluminium tweeter faceplate, updated dual-flare port geometry, and upward-facing binding posts for cleaner wall-proximity installation. All acoustic and mechanical changes are aimed at reducing coloration and extending dynamic headroom while preserving the musical character of the original.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dali","offers":[{"title":"Satin Black","offer_id":46846411931900,"sku":null,"price":1500.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Satin White","offer_id":46846411964668,"sku":null,"price":1500.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Tobacco Oak","offer_id":46846411997436,"sku":null,"price":1500.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0116\/1773\/0617\/files\/DaliOpticon1MK2VinylSoundBlackAsh2.webp?v=1737855622"},{"product_id":"dali-opticon-lcr-mk2","title":"Dali Opticon LCR Mk2 On‑Wall Speaker (Each)","description":"\u003ch1\u003eDALI Opticon LCR MK2 On-Wall Speaker at Vinyl Sound Toronto Canada\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Opticon LCR MK2 is a multipurpose on-wall loudspeaker from DALI (Hobro, Denmark), available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada. LCR stands for Left, Centre, Right, reflecting the speaker's design for use in any channel position in a stereo or multichannel system from a single wall-mounted enclosure. Incorporating the best technologies from the OPTICON MK2 series, including a \u003cstrong\u003e6.5-inch SMC wood fibre driver\u003c\/strong\u003e and the signature \u003cstrong\u003eHybrid Tweeter module\u003c\/strong\u003e pairing a Callisto-derived 29 mm soft dome with a 17 x 45 mm planar element, it covers a frequency range of \u003cstrong\u003e70 Hz to 30,000 Hz\u003c\/strong\u003e at 89 dB sensitivity with a 109 dB maximum SPL. A wall-assisted bass reflex port tuned to 45 Hz and a 25 mm thick front baffle with internal bracing produce a speaker that belies its compact 128 mm depth with airy high frequencies, an expressive midrange, and surprisingly extended bass. Handcrafted and tested at DALI's production facilities in central Denmark, the Opticon LCR MK2 is sold individually and is suited to on-wall stereo pairs, home cinema front channels, centre channel, and surround positions in larger listening rooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePatented SMC Magnet System and 6.5-inch Wood Fibre Driver\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Opticon LCR MK2's 6.5-inch woofer is built around DALI's patented SMC (Soft Magnetic Composite) magnet system. The pole piece inside the driver's large ferrite ring magnet is manufactured entirely from SMC, a coated granular material with very high magnetic permeability and very low electrical conductivity. This combination dramatically reduces two principal sources of driver distortion: magnetic hysteresis, which causes the magnetic field to lag behind the audio signal, and eddy currents, which create opposing electromagnetic forces within the motor. The result is a significant reduction in third-order harmonic distortion, producing a more relaxed and natural midrange character with greater low-level detail retrieval and reduced listening fatigue. The paper pulp and wood fibre cone is engineered for low loss, low distortion, and minimal break-up resonance, ensuring that the driver adds as little coloration as possible to the audio signal while delivering high resolution midrange and precise, coherent bass. Stereo pairs are built and tested by one technician using components from the same production batch to guarantee visual and acoustic matching between channels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHybrid Tweeter Module with Callisto-Derived 29 mm Soft Dome\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Opticon LCR MK2 carries DALI's signature Hybrid Tweeter module, combining a new 29 mm soft dome tweeter derived from the DALI CALLISTO active speaker series with a 17 x 45 mm planar magnetostatic element. The 29 mm dome represents a meaningful step up from the 28 mm driver used in the MK1 series: the increase in dome radiating area lowers distortion, raises power handling, and enables the driver to operate at lower frequencies without stress, allowing crossover frequencies as low as 2 kHz to be employed safely. The cast aluminium faceplate incorporates dispersion control detailing around the tweeter cutouts, optimising horizontal high-frequency delivery for off-axis listening. Both the dome and the planar element are free of resonances and high-Q peaks within their operating bandwidths. The dome handles the lower treble from 2,800 Hz upward with speed and dynamic impact, while the ribbon element takes over from 14,000 Hz with the superior horizontal dispersion and ultra-high-frequency finesse that planar drivers provide. The entire tweeter module is rotatable through 360 degrees, and the grille logo is reversible, ensuring the speaker always looks correct and performs correctly regardless of whether it is mounted vertically or horizontally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWall-Assisted Bass Reflex System and 25 mm Baffle Construction\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Opticon LCR MK2 uses a bass reflex port system that is specifically engineered to take advantage of its close proximity to the wall surface when mounted. The rear-firing port is tuned to 45 Hz and positioned to interact with the boundary reinforcement provided by the wall behind the speaker, extending the effective low-frequency bandwidth below what the compact 128 mm deep cabinet could achieve in free space. A 25 mm thick front baffle and strategic internal bracing throughout the enclosure virtually eliminate panel resonance, providing a stable, acoustically inert platform for the drivers. The cabinet is manufactured entirely at DALI's production facility in central Denmark, where the in-house woodworking operation handles everything from cutting and routing the MDF laminate panels to installing the drivers, crossover, and finishing. Two keyhole wall mounts on the rear panel allow straightforward installation in both vertical and horizontal orientations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLCR Multipurpose Design:\u003c\/strong\u003e Engineered for use as a left, right, or centre channel speaker in stereo, home cinema, and multi-channel surround configurations from a single on-wall enclosure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e6.5-inch SMC Wood Fibre Driver:\u003c\/strong\u003e Patented SMC pole piece dramatically reduces third-order harmonic distortion from hysteresis and eddy currents.

LCR denotes its suitability for Left, Centre, and Right channel roles in a single wall-mounted enclosure. It is a two-and-a-half-way bass reflex speaker featuring a 6.5-inch SMC wood fibre driver and a Hybrid Tweeter module combining a 29 mm soft dome with a 17 x 45 mm planar ribbon element, crossing over at 2,800 Hz and 14,000 Hz. It covers 70 Hz to 30,000 Hz at 89 dB sensitivity with a 109 dB maximum SPL from a 128 mm deep cabinet. The tweeter module rotates 360 degrees for correct orientation in any mounting position. Sold individually, it suits stereo pairs, home cinema front, centre, and surround roles in larger rooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the DALI Opticon LCR MK2 compare to the DALI Rubikore On-Wall and Phantom M-375?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Opticon LCR MK2 sits between the Phantom M-375 and the Rubikore On-Wall in DALI's on-wall and LCR product hierarchy. Compared to the Phantom M-375, the Opticon LCR MK2 is a surface-mounted on-wall speaker rather than an in-wall speaker, and uses the OPTICON MK2's Callisto-derived 29 mm soft dome and SMC pole piece in a cabinet with a 25 mm front baffle and wall-assisted reflex port. Compared to the Rubikore On-Wall, the Opticon LCR MK2 sits below it in DALI's range, using the OPTICON MK2 driver technology rather than the higher-specification Clarity Cone and dual-magnet SMC system of the Rubikore. The Rubikore On-Wall also features the ferrofluid-free dome from the KORE-inspired Rubikore series and adds SMC material to its crossover inductors, representing a step up in driver and crossover technology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the DALI Opticon LCR MK2 be mounted horizontally as a centre channel speaker?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the DALI Opticon LCR MK2 is specifically designed for both vertical and horizontal wall mounting. The Hybrid Tweeter module rotates through 360 degrees, so when the speaker is installed in landscape orientation as a centre channel below a screen, the tweeter module can be rotated to keep the planar ribbon element in its correct position relative to the dome. The grille logo is also reversible so the speaker always presents a clean appearance regardless of orientation. Keyhole wall mounts on the rear panel facilitate horizontal installation directly below or above a television in the most common centre channel position.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the wall-assisted bass reflex system in the Opticon LCR MK2?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Opticon LCR MK2's bass reflex port is engineered to work in conjunction with the acoustic boundary reinforcement that the wall behind the speaker provides when it is mounted in its intended on-wall position. When a speaker is placed flush against a wall, the wall surface acts as a boundary that reinforces low-frequency output, effectively extending the bass response below what the cabinet would achieve in free space. DALI's port design in the LCR MK2 takes this boundary loading into account, tuning the port to 45 Hz so that the combination of the port's acoustic output and the wall boundary reinforcement work together to produce the rated 70 Hz lower limit from a cabinet that is only 128 mm deep. This is meaningfully deeper bass than a rear-ported speaker of this depth could achieve mounted away from a wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the DALI Opticon LCR MK2 in Toronto or Canada?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Opticon LCR MK2 is available at Vinyl Sound, an authorised DALI dealer in Toronto, Canada. Vinyl Sound carries the full DALI OPTICON MK2 series and can assist with system matching, home cinema configuration, amplifier pairing, and multi-channel layout planning. Purchasing from an authorised Canadian dealer ensures full DALI manufacturer warranty coverage and access to knowledgeable local support.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat amplifier suits the DALI Opticon LCR MK2?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Opticon LCR MK2 is rated for 30 to 150 watts at a 4-ohm nominal impedance. A 4-ohm load requires an amplifier or AV receiver rated for stable 4-ohm current delivery, as some AV receivers may struggle below this impedance level. Stereo integrated amplifiers from brands such as Hegel, NAD, Rotel, and Arcam in the 80 to 150 watt per channel range at 4 ohms are well matched for stereo on-wall use. For home cinema multi-channel configurations, AV receivers and multi-channel power amplifiers with 4-ohm rated outputs from brands such as Anthem, Arcam, and Denon provide the current delivery the LCR MK2 benefits from, particularly when used as front channel speakers in larger rooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the DALI Opticon LCR MK2 require a subwoofer?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor home cinema use, a subwoofer is recommended to complement the Opticon LCR MK2. Its 70 Hz lower limit covers dialogue, music, and most mid-range cinematic content well, but does not extend into the deep sub-bass frequencies present in modern film soundtracks. In a home cinema system, bass management on the AV processor routes low-frequency content to the dedicated subwoofer channel, allowing the LCR MK2 to operate within its optimal bandwidth. For stereo music listening in smaller to medium rooms, the LCR MK2's wall-assisted bass extension and 70 Hz lower limit are adequate for most musical genres without supplemental bass support.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dali","offers":[{"title":"Satin Black","offer_id":46846412128508,"sku":null,"price":1500.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Satin White","offer_id":46846412161276,"sku":null,"price":1500.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Tobacco Oak","offer_id":46846412194044,"sku":null,"price":1500.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0116\/1773\/0617\/files\/DaliOpticonLCRMK2VinylSoundBlackAsh2.webp?v=1737858651"},{"product_id":"dali-menuet-se","title":"Dali Menuet SE Bookshelf Speaker (Pair)","description":"\u003ch1\u003eDALI Menuet SE Bookshelf Speaker (Pair) at Vinyl Sound Toronto Canada\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Menuet SE is a special edition compact bookshelf speaker from DALI (Danish Audiophile Loudspeaker Industries, Nørager, Denmark), available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada.

It features a 4.5-inch wood fibre woofer with a fiberglass voice-coil former, a 28mm soft dome tweeter, Mundorf capacitor crossover, and gold-plated EPICON-series terminals, all housed in a hand-matched wild walnut high gloss veneer cabinet measuring 9.8 x 5.9 x 9.0 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the DALI Menuet SE compare to the KEF LS50 and Focal Chora 806?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Menuet SE competes directly with the KEF LS50 and Focal Chora 806 in the compact bookshelf speaker segment. Both the Menuet SE and LS50 deliver excellent stereo imaging and soundstage, though the Menuet SE is noted for a warmer, more natural tonal character and a uniquely premium finish. Compared to the Focal Chora 806, the Menuet SE offers a more refined and transparent midrange. Reviewers have also placed the Menuet SE closer in overall transparency to the Revel M126Be and Focal Sopra No1 than to entry-level bookshelf options, a notable achievement for its compact size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the DALI Menuet SE be wall-mounted?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the DALI Menuet SE is fully compatible with wall mounting. The rear-angled bass reflex port and recessed terminal block are specifically designed to allow close-wall placement without compromising bass output. DALI offers an optional dedicated wall bracket for the Menuet SE. This makes it an excellent choice for discreet installations in smaller rooms where floor space or stand placement is not practical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is a fiberglass voice-coil former and why does it matter?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA voice-coil former is the thin cylindrical tube onto which the voice coil wire is wound. In the standard MENUET, this former is made of aluminum. In the Menuet SE, DALI replaced it with a fiberglass former, which has significantly lower mechanical loss. This means the former itself absorbs and wastes less energy during driver movement, resulting in more accurate signal tracking, reduced distortion, and a cleaner, more faithful reproduction of bass and midrange frequencies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the DALI Menuet SE in Toronto or Canada?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Menuet SE is available at Vinyl Sound, an authorised DALI dealer located in Toronto, Canada. Vinyl Sound carries a curated selection of high-end audio equipment and can assist with in-store demonstrations, pairing recommendations, and delivery across Canada. You can browse and purchase directly through the Vinyl Sound online store or visit in person in Toronto.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat amplifier works best with the DALI Menuet SE?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Menuet SE has a nominal impedance of 4 ohms and a sensitivity of 86 dB, which means it benefits from a capable amplifier with adequate current delivery. DALI recommends amplifiers rated between 20W and 100W, though reviewers note that a quality integrated amplifier in the 50W to 100W range per channel, such as models from Cambridge Audio, NAD, or Naim, will bring out the best performance. Underpowered amplifiers may cause the speakers to sound restrained, while a clean, well-controlled amplifier allows the Menuet SE to deliver its full soundstage and dynamic capability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the DALI Menuet SE suitable for home cinema use?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the DALI Menuet SE is compatible with DALI's RUBICON series, making it a strong candidate as front or surround speakers in an exceptional home cinema system. Its compact form factor and wall-mounting capability make it easy to integrate into a dedicated home cinema room without intrusive speaker placement. Its clean high-frequency reproduction and dynamic midrange also translate well to film dialogue and surround sound content.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the DALI Menuet SE heritage trace back through DALI's history?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Menuet SE builds on a speaker lineage that dates to the 1990s, when the original MENUET was introduced as part of DALI's acclaimed ROYAL series. It was subsequently developed into the MENTOR MENUET before evolving into the current MENUET and then the MENUET SE. This heritage makes the Menuet SE one of the longest-running and most refined compact speaker designs in DALI's portfolio, rooted in decades of driver development and acoustic tuning from DALI's headquarters in Nørager, Denmark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"grid grid-cols-1 sm:grid-cols-2 lg:grid-cols-1 xl:grid-cols-2 gap-y-6 xl:gap-y-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex space-x-3\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"space-y-1 text-body\/body1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"container mx-auto gap-x-3 md:gap-x-6 gap-y-6 lg:gap-y-0 grid grid-cols-12 grid-flow-dense py-10 sm:py-12 md:py-16 xl:py-20\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-start-1 col-span-12 md:col-start-2 md:col-span-10 lg:col-start-1 lg:col-span-6 xl:col-start-1 xl:col-span-5 flex items-center\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLearn more about this product in our detailed video review:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3F_o2eP8_cc\" height=\"450\" width=\"800\"\u003e\n\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Dali","offers":[{"title":"Wild Walnut (High Gloss Veneer)","offer_id":46846412357884,"sku":null,"price":3000.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Natural Walnut (Veneer)","offer_id":48724366033148,"sku":null,"price":3000.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0116\/1773\/0617\/files\/DaliMenuetSEVinylSoundWildWalnut2.webp?v=1737860038"},{"product_id":"dali-alteco-c1","title":"Dali Alteco C‑1 On‑Wall Speaker (Pair)","description":"\u003ch1\u003eDALI Alteco C-1 On-Wall Speakers at Vinyl Sound Toronto Canada\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Alteco C-1 is a true multipurpose loudspeaker from DALI (Hobro, Denmark), available as a pair at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada.

At the heart of the design is a \u003cstrong\u003e4.5-inch low-loss wood fibre woofer\u003c\/strong\u003e and a \u003cstrong\u003e21 mm ultra-lightweight soft dome tweeter\u003c\/strong\u003e, covering \u003cstrong\u003e74 Hz to 26,000 Hz\u003c\/strong\u003e at 83 dB sensitivity. A front-panel switch selects between UP mode for ceiling-reflected height information or broader dispersion, and DOWN mode which angles the output 25 degrees downward for close-position listening or high-on-wall installation. The Alteco C-1 uses a sealed enclosure for precise transient control, spring-loaded cable connections for installation convenience, and a crossover designed specifically for stereo performance alongside its height channel duties. Sold as a pair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThree Installation Modes in One Compact Speaker\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Alteco C-1's angled cabinet geometry and dual sound mode switch give it a flexibility that no other speaker in DALI's range offers. In its primary up-firing configuration, the speaker is placed on top of existing front or rear floorstanding or bookshelf speakers, angled upward toward the ceiling. Combined with a compatible Dolby Atmos, DTS-X, or Auro-3D AV receiver, the Alteco C-1 delivers ceiling-reflected height information that the AV processor renders as overhead sound, adding the vertical dimension that three-dimensional object-based audio requires. Switching to DOWN mode redirects the output downward by 25 degrees, converting the Alteco C-1 into a high-on-wall speaker that fires directly toward the listening position from an elevated wall-mounted position, or into a close-position desktop speaker where sound can be angled precisely at the listener. A third configuration mounts the Alteco C-1 on the wall in a standard vertical or horizontal position as a compact stereo or surround speaker, where the angular cabinet shape and driver alignment serve a more conventional role. No other combination of placement options is available from a speaker of this size in this price category.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e4.5-inch Wood Fibre Woofer: DALI Trademark Driver Design\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Alteco C-1's 4.5-inch woofer is built around DALI's signature paper and wood fibre cone construction. Fine-grain paper is combined with wood fibre pulp to create a cone membrane that is extremely rigid and lightweight, with an inherently uneven surface structure that distributes resonance energy broadly across the cone rather than allowing it to concentrate at discrete frequencies. This minimises unwanted surface resonances and produces a cleaner, more detailed midrange and bass character. A low-loss rubber surround and spider suspension allow the cone to move freely for accurate tracking of musical transients, recovering even the smallest microdetail in the audio signal without the mechanical losses that heavier or higher-friction surrounds impose. The crossover is designed with a focus on stereo performance as well as height channel duties, ensuring the Alteco C-1 performs genuinely as a music speaker rather than merely as a home cinema height effect unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e21 mm Ultra-Lightweight Soft Dome Tweeter\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Alteco C-1's 21 mm soft dome tweeter uses an ultra-lightweight woven fabric diaphragm that weighs less than half the mass of most competing soft dome tweeters at 0.056 mg per mm². This low mass, combined with a high-performance magnet motor system, gives the tweeter exceptional resolution, an extended frequency response, wide horizontal dispersion, and very low coloration. The tweeter design is a direct heritage from DALI's high-end speaker series, bringing the same acoustic philosophy of low loss and high accuracy to the Alteco C-1's compact format. The 2,100 Hz crossover point allows a generous overlap with the woofer, producing a seamless transition between driver sections with no frequency gap or coloration at the handover point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSealed Enclosure for Precise Bass Control\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Alteco C-1 uses a sealed enclosure design rather than a ported or bass reflex cabinet. Sealed enclosures provide tighter, better-controlled bass transients than ported designs because there is no port resonance to add low-frequency output that does not directly track the driver's cone movement. For a height channel speaker, where the audio content is primarily diffuse room effects, ambience, and overhead spatial information rather than deep sustained bass, the sealed design's precise transient control and clean rolloff behaviour are a better acoustic match than a port-tuned bass extension. For close-position listening and high-on-wall stereo use, the sealed cabinet's controlled bass character ensures the Alteco C-1 remains clean and natural even at higher playback levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDual Sound Mode Switch:\u003c\/strong\u003e Front-panel toggle between UP mode for ceiling-reflected up-firing height channel use or wider dispersion, and DOWN mode which angles output 25 degrees downward for high on-wall or close-position listening.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUp-Firing for Dolby Atmos, DTS-X, and Auro-3D:\u003c\/strong\u003e Angled cabinet design and UP mode enable ceiling-reflected height information when placed on top of front or rear speakers with a compatible AV receiver.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e4.5-inch Wood Fibre Cone Woofer:\u003c\/strong\u003e DALI signature paper and wood fibre cone with uneven surface structure for minimised surface resonance.

It features a 4.5-inch wood fibre woofer and a 21 mm ultra-lightweight soft dome tweeter in a sealed enclosure with an angled cabinet and a dual sound mode switch. It covers 74 Hz to 26,000 Hz at 83 dB sensitivity, handles 40 to 100 watts, and has a 6-ohm nominal impedance. Sold as a pair, it functions as an up-firing height speaker for Dolby Atmos, DTS-X, and Auro-3D, a high on-wall speaker with downward-angled dispersion, or a compact stereo on-wall speaker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the dual sound mode switch work on the DALI Alteco C-1?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Alteco C-1's front-panel switch selects between two dispersion modes. UP mode directs the driver output upward and forward with a broad, diffuse dispersion pattern suited to ceiling-reflected up-firing height channel use or wide-area stereo on-wall coverage. DOWN mode redirects the driver output approximately 25 degrees downward from the cabinet's face, which is useful when the speaker is mounted high on a wall and needs to fire toward a seated listener below, or when used in a close-position desktop configuration where downward sound projection improves the listening angle. The switch allows the same physical speaker to serve fundamentally different acoustic roles without any mechanical adjustment to the cabinet position or driver orientation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the DALI Alteco C-1 be used as the height speakers in a Dolby Atmos system?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the DALI Alteco C-1 is specifically designed for up-firing height channel use in Dolby Atmos, DTS-X, and Auro-3D systems. When placed on top of the front speakers in UP mode and connected to an AV receiver capable of rendering height information, the Alteco C-1 fires upward and the ceiling reflects the sound back down toward the listening position, creating the impression of overhead audio objects in compatible movie soundtracks and music. DALI recommends placing the Alteco C-1 on both the front and rear speakers in more advanced configurations, such as a 5.1.4 setup, to create full overhead coverage. The effectiveness of ceiling-reflected height information depends on ceiling height and surface material, with lower, smooth ceilings typically producing more convincing height localisation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the DALI Alteco C-1 compare to the KEF R50 and ELAC Debut A4 as Atmos speakers?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Alteco C-1 offers a meaningfully different capability set from both the KEF R50 and ELAC Debut A4. Its unique advantage is the dual sound mode switch, which allows it to function as a standard directional on-wall or wall-mounted speaker in DOWN mode in addition to its up-firing role, giving it flexibility that neither the R50 nor the Debut A4 can match. Users whose seating is close to the rear wall, where ceiling-reflected sound from up-firing speakers may not localise convincingly, can instead mount the Alteco C-1 high on the wall in DOWN mode for direct height channel coverage toward the listening position. The KEF R50 is a dedicated up-firing add-on designed to sit atop KEF R series speakers and uses an Uni-Q driver for its ceiling-reflection output. The Alteco C-1 is a more versatile standalone speaker suited to a wider range of room layouts and system configurations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the DALI Alteco C-1 in Toronto or Canada?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Alteco C-1 is available as a pair at Vinyl Sound, an authorised DALI dealer in Toronto, Canada. Vinyl Sound carries the full DALI speaker range and can provide advice on Dolby Atmos system configuration, speaker placement for height channels, and amplifier and AV receiver matching. Purchasing from an authorised Canadian dealer ensures full DALI manufacturer warranty coverage and access to experienced local support.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat AV receiver or amplifier works with the DALI Alteco C-1?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Alteco C-1 requires an amplifier rated between 40 and 100 watts at a 6-ohm nominal impedance. For its primary use as a Dolby Atmos, DTS-X, or Auro-3D height speaker, a compatible AV receiver with object-based audio decoding and height channel amplifier channels is required. Most modern Dolby Atmos-capable AV receivers from brands such as Denon, Marantz, Yamaha, and Arcam include dedicated height channel amplification suitable for the Alteco C-1. Its 83 dB sensitivity is lower than average, meaning it benefits from the upper end of its recommended power range for adequate height channel output levels in larger rooms. AV receivers with per-channel outputs of 80 to 100 watts into 6 ohms are a practical minimum for reliable performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the DALI Alteco C-1 be used as a standard stereo speaker?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the DALI Alteco C-1 is designed with a crossover specifically engineered for stereo performance, not only for height channel duties. Mounted on a wall in vertical or horizontal orientation with DOWN mode selected, it serves as a compact stereo speaker for rooms where a conventional standmount or bookshelf speaker would be visually intrusive or impractical. Its 74 Hz to 26,000 Hz frequency range and sealed enclosure produce a balanced, coherent presentation well suited to music listening at moderate volumes in small to medium rooms. For extended bass performance in stereo use, pairing with a DALI subwoofer is recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dali","offers":[{"title":"Black Ash","offer_id":46846413734140,"sku":null,"price":800.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White","offer_id":46846413766908,"sku":null,"price":800.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Walnut","offer_id":46856805384444,"sku":null,"price":800.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0116\/1773\/0617\/files\/DaliAltecoC-1VinylSoundBlackAsh2.webp?v=1738116092"},{"product_id":"dali-sub-k14f","title":"Dali Sub K-14 F Subwoofer (Each)","description":"\u003ch1\u003eDALI SUB K-14 F Subwoofer at Vinyl Sound Toronto Canada\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe SUB K-14 F is DALI's (Danish Audiophile Loudspeaker Industries, Allerød, Denmark) flagship compact active subwoofer, available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada.

The absence of a dust cap allows for a geometrically uniform, unbroken cone surface, which produces true piston-like movement across the full excursion range. This mechanical discipline reduces distortion at the driver level and is central to the K-14 F's ability to start and stop quickly, a characteristic that determines how cleanly a subwoofer integrates with main speakers at the crossover point. The result is a subwoofer that tracks transients with the precision expected of a high-quality bookshelf or floorstanding speaker, while still displacing the air volume necessary for deep, impactful bass at high output levels. The 44-litre bass reflex cabinet is tuned to 34 Hz, and the driver's long-stroke design allows it to maintain controlled, linear excursion at extreme output levels without compression or audible distress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e450-Watt Class-D Amplifier: High Headroom, Low Heat\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe integrated 450-watt RMS Class-D amplifier is built around a switch-mode power supply (SWPS) that maintains a low working temperature without requiring an external heat sink, contributing to the K-14 F's compact overall dimensions. The amplifier incorporates an analogue signal path with an analogue low-pass filter tuned to maximise driver output across the operating bandwidth, avoiding the phase and timing artifacts that can affect digital filter implementations. A power limiter is integrated into the signal path to prevent amplifier clipping at extreme output levels, continuously comparing the incoming signal against the maximum output threshold and attenuating transparently before clipping can occur. Front-panel controls for gain, crossover frequency (40 to 120 Hz), and phase allow the K-14 F to be precisely matched to the acoustic characteristics of the main speakers and the room. Both LFE (mono line level) and stereo line-level RCA inputs with low-pass filtering ensure compatibility with virtually any AV receiver, stereo amplifier, or processor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e14-Inch Long-Stroke Aluminum Woofer:\u003c\/strong\u003e A rigid aluminum cone with no dust cap ensures piston-like movement, minimal distortion, and fast transient response for clean integration with any front speaker, from bookshelf to floorstanding.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e450W RMS Class-D Amplifier:\u003c\/strong\u003e A switch-mode power supply and integrated Class-D amplifier deliver sustained high-output performance without an external heat sink, keeping the cabinet compact and the working temperature low.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBass Reflex Enclosure Tuned to 34 Hz:\u003c\/strong\u003e A 44-litre bass reflex cabinet tuned to 34 Hz extends usable low-frequency output beyond the published specification, with in-room performance measured to 22 Hz in independent testing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdjustable Crossover (40 to 120 Hz):\u003c\/strong\u003e A continuously variable low-pass crossover filter allows precise frequency matching to any main speaker system, from compact bookshelf speakers to large floorstanders.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLFE and Stereo Line Inputs:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mono LFE and stereo line-level RCA inputs make the K-14 F compatible with virtually any amplifier, AV receiver, or processor without requiring an additional adapter or converter.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIntegrated Power Limiter:\u003c\/strong\u003e A transparent signal-path limiter prevents amplifier clipping at extreme sound pressure levels, protecting the amplifier and driver while preserving dynamic accuracy during demanding passages.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAluminium Decoupling Base:\u003c\/strong\u003e A 50 mm aluminium base decouples the cabinet from the floor, eliminating turbulence between the enclosure and the floor surface and providing a stable mechanical platform for the driver at all output levels.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHigh-Gloss Front Baffle:\u003c\/strong\u003e A woofer that extends almost to the edge of the high-gloss front panel creates the visual impression of a large driver in a compact cabinet, available in Black Ash with black high-gloss baffle or White Silk Matte with white high-gloss baffle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompact Footprint:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dimensions of 448 mm x 396 mm x 428 mm including the base and grille make the K-14 F one of the most space-efficient 14-inch subwoofers available, recommended for floor placement near a wall or corner for maximum output and distribution.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePhase and Gain Controls:\u003c\/strong\u003e Front-panel phase and gain adjustments allow fine-tuning of subwoofer integration in any room and with any main speaker system, including difficult boundary and corner placements.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eFrequency Range (+\/-3 dB)\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e29 Hz to 160 Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eMaximum SPL\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e115 dB\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCrossover Frequency\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e40 to 120 Hz (adjustable)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eLow Frequency Driver\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e1 x 14-inch long-stroke aluminum cone\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eEnclosure Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBass reflex\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBass Reflex Tuning Frequency\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e34 Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eContinuous Amplifier Power (RMS)\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e450 W\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eMaximum Amplifier Power (RMS)\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e500 W\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eInput Impedance\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e10k Ohm\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eConnection Inputs\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eMono Line Level LFE (RCA);

It features a 14-inch long-stroke aluminum cone driver, a 450-watt RMS Class-D amplifier, and a bass reflex enclosure tuned to 34 Hz, with a published frequency range of 29 Hz to 160 Hz and a maximum SPL of 115 dB. Independent testing by Secrets of Home Theater and High Fidelity confirmed in-room response extending to 22 Hz. It was part of the EISA Award-winning DALI OPTICON 5.1 system in 2016-2017 and is recommended for pairing with the DALI RUBICON, OPTICON MK2, and OBERON series loudspeakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the DALI SUB K-14 F compare to the SVS SB-3000 and REL T\/9x?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI SUB K-14 F, SVS SB-3000, and REL T\/9x represent three distinct engineering philosophies in the compact subwoofer category. The SVS SB-3000 uses a sealed enclosure and app-based DSP control, prioritising output precision and tonal neutrality. The REL T\/9x uses a high-level speaker input connection and a downward-firing driver in a ported enclosure for a more speaker-like musical presentation. The DALI K-14 F uses a front-facing ported enclosure with a no-dust-cap aluminum cone for piston-like transient accuracy, and was independently measured to exceed its specification with in-room extension to 22 Hz, a result that places it ahead of many sealed designs of comparable size. For DALI speaker system owners, the K-14 F also offers the advantage of a timbre and design language matched to the RUBICON, OPTICON MK2, and OBERON series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the DALI SUB K-14 F work with any amplifier or receiver?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the DALI SUB K-14 F is compatible with virtually any amplifier, AV receiver, or processor. It provides both a mono LFE input for use with AV receivers and processors that output a dedicated subwoofer channel, and stereo line-level RCA inputs with an onboard low-pass filter for use with stereo amplifiers that have a line-level output or subwoofer out. The adjustable crossover from 40 to 120 Hz allows it to be matched to main speakers of any size, from small standmount bookshelf speakers to large floorstanding designs. An input impedance of 10k ohms ensures compatibility with low-output sources without signal loading.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat speakers pair best with the DALI SUB K-14 F?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDALI recommends the SUB K-14 F as a partner for the RUBICON, OPTICON MK2, and OBERON series loudspeakers. It also integrates well with any bookshelf or floorstanding speaker that benefits from reinforcement below 80 to 120 Hz. The K-14 F's fast transient response and low distortion aluminum driver make it suitable for both music-focused stereo systems and multichannel home cinema setups, and its adjustable 40 to 120 Hz crossover allows it to hand off cleanly to compact two-way speakers as well as large three-way floorstanders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the best placement for the DALI SUB K-14 F?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDALI recommends placing the SUB K-14 F in a corner or along a wall to maximise low-frequency output and even bass distribution throughout the room. Corner placement typically adds 6 dB or more of boundary reinforcement at low frequencies, which can significantly improve perceived bass impact and room filling. The subwoofer's relatively compact footprint makes it easier to position correctly in a corner compared to larger subwoofers with deeper cabinets. Its 50 mm aluminium decoupling base eliminates floor turbulence and provides a stable mechanical platform regardless of floor surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the DALI SUB K-14 F in Toronto or Canada?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI SUB K-14 F is available in Toronto and across Canada at Vinyl Sound, an authorised DALI dealer. Vinyl Sound can provide guidance on DALI speaker system pairing, crossover setup, and placement optimisation for any room size. Purchasing from an authorised dealer ensures full DALI manufacturer warranty coverage and professional after-sales support throughout Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the DALI SUB K-14 F work well for music as well as home cinema?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the DALI SUB K-14 F is specifically engineered to perform equally well with music and movie content. Its 14-inch aluminum cone driver's fast transient response and controlled linear excursion allow it to reproduce the low-frequency fundamentals of acoustic bass, kick drum, pipe organ, and orchestral bass section with the pitch accuracy and speed that music listening demands. Home Cinema Choice noted that the K-14 F melded invisibly into a system for music while delivering cinematic scale for movies, which reflects the K-14 F's wide crossover range and smooth, low-distortion low-pass rolloff that avoids the heavy, one-note presentation typical of less refined subwoofer designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the power limiter in the DALI SUB K-14 F protect the amplifier?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI SUB K-14 F includes an integrated power limiter in the amplifier signal path that continuously monitors the incoming audio signal level relative to the amplifier's maximum output threshold. When the signal approaches the point at which the amplifier would clip, the limiter transparently reduces the level before clipping can occur, without introducing audible pumping or dynamic compression artifacts. This protects both the amplifier module and the driver from the distortion and thermal stress associated with clipping, and it only activates at extreme sound pressure levels, leaving normal listening dynamics completely unaffected.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dali","offers":[{"title":"Black Ash","offer_id":46846413996284,"sku":null,"price":2800.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Satin White","offer_id":46846414029052,"sku":null,"price":2800.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0116\/1773\/0617\/files\/DaliSUBK-14FVinylSoundBlackAsh2.webp?v=1738210633"},{"product_id":"dali-sub-e12f","title":"Dali Sub E‑12 F Subwoofer (Each)","description":"\u003ch1\u003eDALI SUB E-12 F Subwoofer at Vinyl Sound Toronto Canada\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe SUB E-12 F is a 12-inch active subwoofer from DALI (Danish Audiophile Loudspeaker Industries, Allerød, Denmark), available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada.

DALI recommends it as a partner for the OPTICON MK2, FAZON, OBERON, and SPEKTOR series loudspeakers. Its MDF cabinet in Black Ash or White satin matte finish, polymer spike decoupling system, and auto standby function make it a practical, understated addition to any listening room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e12-Inch Polymer Aluminum Driver: Fast, Piston-Like Bass\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SUB E-12 F's 12-inch driver uses a polymer aluminum diaphragm that combines the rigidity of aluminum with controlled damping from the polymer composite. The cone is constructed without a conventional dust cap, which allows the full diaphragm surface to move as a single uniform piston rather than flexing at the centre. This no-dust-cap construction is a design principle shared across DALI's entire subwoofer lineup and is central to the K-14 F's and E-12 F's ability to maintain low distortion across the operating bandwidth. The result is a driver that starts and stops with the speed and precision expected of a quality hi-fi woofer, making it straightforward to integrate at crossover frequencies anywhere between 40 and 120 Hz without audible blurring of the transition between the subwoofer and the main speakers. A 4-layer long-stroke voice coil mounted on a heavy magnet system provides the excursion and motor force required for impactful bass at realistic listening levels in rooms of 15 to 30 square metres.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e170-Watt Class-D Amplifier: Linear, Efficient, Protected\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe integrated 170-watt RMS Class-D amplifier is designed for maximum continuous output efficiency and a highly linear signal path. At peak demand it delivers 220 watts to handle dynamic transients in movie soundtracks and music passages that require short-duration excursions beyond the continuous power rating. An analogue low-pass filter path maintains signal integrity without the latency or phase complications that can arise from digital filtering in lower-cost designs. A built-in power limiter monitors the signal continuously and attenuates transparently before clipping can damage the amplifier or driver. An auto standby function reduces power consumption to below 0.5 watts in the absence of an input signal and wakes automatically when signal is detected. Front-panel controls for crossover frequency (40 to 120 Hz), phase switching, volume\/gain, and standby mode allow the SUB E-12 F to be tuned to any room and any main speaker system without external tools or processors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e12-Inch Polymer Aluminum Long-Throw Driver:\u003c\/strong\u003e A dust-cap-free polymer aluminum diaphragm ensures piston-like movement across the full excursion range, minimising distortion and delivering fast, accurate bass transients compatible with any main speaker system.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e170W RMS Class-D Amplifier:\u003c\/strong\u003e A highly linear Class-D amplifier rated at 170 watts continuous and 220 watts peak provides sustained output for music and movie soundtracks without thermal shutdown or dynamic compression at normal listening levels.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e28 Hz to 190 Hz Frequency Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e A bass reflex enclosure tuned to 36 Hz extends usable low-frequency output to 28 Hz, providing genuine subwoofer-grade extension for music and LFE channels in multichannel home cinema systems.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdjustable Crossover (40 to 120 Hz):\u003c\/strong\u003e A continuously variable low-pass crossover allows precise frequency matching to any main speaker, from compact SPEKTOR bookshelf speakers to OPTICON MK2 floorstanders.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLFE and Stereo Line Inputs:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mono LFE and stereo line-level RCA inputs with low-pass filtering ensure compatibility with AV receivers, stereo amplifiers, and processors without requiring additional adapters.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePhase Switch:\u003c\/strong\u003e A 0 to 180-degree phase switch allows the SUB E-12 F to be acoustically aligned with the main speakers in any placement configuration, including corner and near-wall positions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuto Standby:\u003c\/strong\u003e An automatic standby function reduces power consumption to below 0.5 watts when no signal is detected and powers the amplifier on automatically when an audio signal resumes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePolymer Spike Decoupling System:\u003c\/strong\u003e Four oversized polymer-based spikes raise the cabinet 30 mm from the floor, eliminating turbulence between the enclosure base and the floor surface and effectively mechanically decoupling the cabinet from floor-borne vibration.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompact MDF Cabinet:\u003c\/strong\u003e A solid MDF cabinet with dimensions of 370 mm x 340 mm x 380 mm including the base is small enough for flexible placement in corners or along walls without dominating the room aesthetically.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo Finish Options:\u003c\/strong\u003e Available in Black Ash or White satin matte finish to complement a wide range of speaker designs and interior decors.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eFrequency Range (+\/-3 dB)\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e28 Hz to 190 Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eMaximum SPL\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e112 dB\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCrossover Frequency\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e40 to 120 Hz (adjustable)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eLow Frequency Driver\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e1 x 12-inch long-stroke, polymer aluminum diaphragm\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eEnclosure Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBass reflex\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBass Reflex Tuning Frequency\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e36 Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eContinuous Amplifier Power (RMS)\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e170 W\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eMaximum Amplifier Power (Peak)\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e220 W\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eInput Impedance\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e25k Ohm\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eConnection Inputs\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eMono Line Level LFE (RCA);

It features a polymer aluminum long-throw cone driver, a 170-watt RMS Class-D amplifier with 220-watt peak output, and a cabinet tuned to 36 Hz, delivering a frequency range of 28 Hz to 190 Hz at +\/-3 dB and a maximum SPL of 112 dB. With dual LFE and line-level inputs, an adjustable 40 to 120 Hz crossover, phase switching, and auto standby, it is designed to integrate with any stereo or multichannel system and pairs particularly well with the DALI OPTICON MK2, FAZON, OBERON, and SPEKTOR speaker series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the DALI SUB E-12 F compare to the SVS SB-2000 Pro and REL T\/7x?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI SUB E-12 F, SVS SB-2000 Pro, and REL T\/7x each represent a different approach to compact subwoofer design. The SVS SB-2000 Pro uses a sealed enclosure and app-based DSP with parametric EQ for highly precise room-corrected bass, while the REL T\/7x uses a high-level speaker connection and downward-firing driver for a presentation designed to mimic the character of the main speakers. The DALI E-12 F uses a bass reflex enclosure tuned to 36 Hz, which gives it useful output below 30 Hz that a sealed design of comparable size cannot match, at the trade-off of a higher amplifier power requirement for the same perceived impact. For buyers already invested in the DALI OPTICON MK2, OBERON, or SPEKTOR ecosystems, the E-12 F also provides a timbre and voicing naturally matched to DALI's driver design philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the DALI SUB E-12 F be used with a stereo amplifier as well as an AV receiver?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the DALI SUB E-12 F is compatible with both stereo amplifiers and AV receivers. Its stereo line-level RCA inputs include an onboard low-pass filter that allows it to connect to any stereo amplifier or integrated amplifier with a pre-out or subwoofer output without requiring a separate crossover device. For AV receivers and processors, the mono LFE input accepts the dedicated subwoofer channel output directly. The adjustable crossover from 40 to 120 Hz and the phase switch allow the E-12 F to be tuned precisely for either application, making it equally suitable as a stereo music subwoofer and as an LFE channel subwoofer in a multichannel home cinema setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat speakers pair best with the DALI SUB E-12 F?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDALI recommends the SUB E-12 F as a companion to the OPTICON MK2, FAZON, OBERON, and SPEKTOR series loudspeakers. Its adjustable crossover from 40 to 120 Hz and compact footprint make it equally practical with small bookshelf speakers crossed over at 80 to 100 Hz and with slim floorstanders that need support below 50 Hz. The fast transient response of the dust-cap-free aluminum driver helps it blend coherently with speakers that have a tight, accurate bass character, which is typical of DALI's own mid-range speaker designs. Vinyl Sound can advise on optimal crossover and gain settings for any specific DALI speaker pairing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the best placement for the DALI SUB E-12 F?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDALI recommends placing the SUB E-12 F in a corner or along a wall to maximise low-frequency output and even bass distribution throughout the room, with a minimum distance of 5 cm from the rear wall. Corner placement adds boundary reinforcement that significantly increases perceived bass impact and room-filling ability without increasing amplifier volume. The subwoofer's compact 370 mm x 340 mm x 380 mm footprint makes corner placement practical in most rooms. The four polymer spikes raise the cabinet 30 mm off the floor, which eliminates floor turbulence and mechanically decouples the enclosure from resonances transmitted through the floor surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the DALI SUB E-12 F in Toronto or Canada?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI SUB E-12 F is available in Toronto and across Canada at Vinyl Sound, an authorised DALI dealer. Vinyl Sound carries a wide range of DALI subwoofers and can assist with speaker system matching, crossover setup, and room placement guidance. Purchasing from an authorised DALI dealer ensures full manufacturer warranty coverage and professional after-sales support throughout Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the DALI SUB E-12 F work well for music listening as well as home cinema?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the DALI SUB E-12 F is designed to perform equally well with music and movie content. Its polymer aluminum driver's fast transient response and piston-like excursion character allow it to reproduce the pitch and timing of acoustic bass instruments, kick drum, and orchestral low-frequency content with the articulation that music listening demands. For home cinema use, its 28 Hz extension and 112 dB maximum SPL provide sufficient depth and output for LFE channel content in most small to medium-sized rooms. The crossover frequency range of 40 to 120 Hz covers all typical speaker integration points for both two-channel and multichannel configurations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the auto standby function work on the DALI SUB E-12 F?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI SUB E-12 F's auto standby function monitors the incoming audio signal continuously and switches the amplifier into a low-power standby state when no signal is detected for a set period, reducing power consumption to below idle levels. The amplifier wakes automatically when an audio signal resumes, without any action required from the user. This function can be switched off from the rear panel if preferred, for installations where instant-on behaviour without the brief wake delay is required. Auto standby is particularly useful in always-on home cinema systems and stereo setups where the subwoofer may remain connected but inactive for extended periods between listening sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dali","offers":[{"title":"Satin Black","offer_id":46846414061820,"sku":null,"price":1500.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Satin White","offer_id":46846414094588,"sku":null,"price":1500.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0116\/1773\/0617\/files\/DaliSUBE-12FVinylSoundBlack2.webp?v=1738211092"},{"product_id":"dali-sub-e9f","title":"Dali Sub E‑9 F Subwoofer (Each)","description":"\u003ch1\u003eDALI SUB E-9 F Subwoofer at Vinyl Sound Toronto Canada\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe SUB E-9 F is a compact 9-inch active subwoofer from DALI (Danish Audiophile Loudspeaker Industries, Allerød, Denmark), available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada.

Part of the DALI OBERON 5 5.1 system that earned a five-star rating and What Hi-Fi? Award in 2020, the SUB E-9 F is DALI's recommendation for the OBERON, FAZON, and SPEKTOR series loudspeakers. Its oversized ferrite magnet, 4-layer long-stroke voice coil, dust-cap-free cone, and down-firing bass port make it one of the most placement-flexible and technically refined compact subwoofers available at its size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e9-Inch Aluminum Driver: Piston-Like Precision from a Compact Form\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SUB E-9 F's 9-inch driver uses a pure aluminum cone selected for its exceptional stiffness-to-mass ratio. Aluminum's rigidity ensures the cone maintains its shape through the full excursion cycle without flexing or deforming, which is a primary source of distortion in drivers that use softer cone materials. The cone is manufactured as a closed, dust-cap-free structure, meaning the full diaphragm surface operates as a single unified piston with no weak central membrane to generate asymmetric motion. This construction is consistent across DALI's entire subwoofer range and is a key contributor to the E-9 F's low-distortion character across its operating bandwidth. The motor system is built around an oversized ferrite magnet optimised for maximum magnetic flux density in the voice coil gap, paired with a 4-layer long-stroke voice coil that provides the high B\/L product needed to reproduce fine low-frequency detail accurately at elevated output levels. The result is a driver that tracks the amplifier signal with precision, reproducing the pitch and timing of bass instruments as faithfully at 90 dB as it does at 70 dB.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eClass-D Amplifier and Down-Firing Port: Efficient, Flexible, Wall-Ready\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 170-watt RMS Class-D amplifier employs a switch-mode power supply that operates at 70% efficiency and generates minimal heat, eliminating the need for an external heat sink and contributing to the SUB E-9 F's compact footprint. Standby power consumption is just 0.4 watts, among the lowest in its class. An integrated power limiter monitors the signal path continuously and attenuates transparently before clipping can occur, protecting both the amplifier and driver under sustained high-output conditions. The bass reflex enclosure is tuned to 39 Hz and uses a downward-firing port, which allows the SUB E-9 F to be positioned directly against a rear wall without port chuffing or turbulence. Combined with a minimum recommended wall distance of 5 cm and polymer spike decoupling that raises the cabinet 30 mm from the floor, the down-firing port architecture makes the E-9 F one of the easiest compact subwoofers to position correctly in any room layout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e9-Inch Pure

It features a pure aluminum dust-cap-free long-throw cone driver with an oversized ferrite magnet and 4-layer voice coil, a 170-watt RMS Class-D amplifier with 220-watt peak output, and a down-firing bass reflex port tuned to 39 Hz. With a frequency range of 37 Hz to 200 Hz, a maximum SPL of 111 dB, and dimensions of just 307 mm x 288 mm x 311 mm, the E-9 F is DALI's most compact powered subwoofer and was part of the DALI OBERON 5 5.1 system that earned a What Hi-Fi? Award and five-star review in 2020.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the DALI SUB E-9 F compare to the KEF KC62 and REL T\/5x?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI SUB E-9 F, KEF KC62, and REL T\/5x represent three distinct approaches to compact subwoofer design. The KEF KC62 uses a dual 6.5-inch force-cancelling driver array and 1,000 watts of Class-D power in an even smaller cabinet, prioritising extension and output in an ultra-compact enclosure at a higher investment. The REL T\/5x is a sealed design using a high-level speaker connection for a musical, speaker-like integration style. The DALI E-9 F uses a single 9-inch pure aluminum driver in a ported enclosure, offering a larger radiating surface than the KC62's individual drivers at a more accessible level. Its down-firing port and minimum 5 cm wall clearance make it one of the most placement-flexible of the three, and its dust-cap-free cone design prioritises low distortion over raw extension, which suits the musical character of the OBERON, FAZON, and SPEKTOR speakers it is recommended to complement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the DALI SUB E-9 F be placed directly against a wall?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the DALI SUB E-9 F can be placed within 5 cm of a rear wall due to its down-firing bass reflex port. Unlike front- or rear-firing ported subwoofers that require 20 to 30 cm of clearance to prevent port chuffing and bass buildup, the downward-firing port of the E-9 F directs airflow toward the floor rather than toward the wall, allowing wall proximity without significant acoustic compromise. This makes it practical for small rooms, alcoves, and furniture-adjacent placements that would be problematic for conventionally ported designs. Corner placement with the minimum 5 cm clearance is recommended by DALI for maximum output and bass distribution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat speakers pair best with the DALI SUB E-9 F?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDALI recommends the SUB E-9 F as a partner for the OBERON, FAZON, and SPEKTOR series loudspeakers. Its crossover range of 40 to 120 Hz and compact footprint make it particularly well suited to small bookshelf speakers such as the OBERON 1, SPEKTOR 1, and SPEKTOR 2, which benefit from crossover points between 80 and 120 Hz. It also pairs effectively with slim floorstanders that have limited bass extension below 60 Hz. The E-9 F's fast, articulate aluminum driver complements the tight, musical bass character typical of DALI's bookshelf and compact floorstanding designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the standby power consumption of the DALI SUB E-9 F?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI SUB E-9 F draws just 0.4 watts in auto standby mode, among the lowest standby consumption figures in its class. The auto standby function is signal-sensing and activates the amplifier automatically within seconds of detecting an input signal from the connected source, then returns to standby after a period of signal absence. A manual on\/off switch is also provided for installations where instant-on behaviour is preferred or where the auto standby response time is incompatible with the system configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the DALI SUB E-9 F in Toronto or Canada?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI SUB E-9 F is available in Toronto and across Canada at Vinyl Sound, an authorised DALI dealer. Vinyl Sound carries the full range of DALI subwoofers and can advise on the best model for your room size, speaker system, and listening priorities. Purchasing from an authorised dealer ensures full DALI manufacturer warranty coverage and professional after-sales support throughout Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the DALI SUB E-9 F work for both music and home cinema?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the DALI SUB E-9 F is designed to perform equally well with music and movie soundtracks. Its pure aluminum driver's fast transient response and piston-like excursion make it capable of reproducing the pitch and timing of acoustic bass, double bass, kick drum, and cello with the articulation music demands. HomeTheaterHifi.com noted that the E-9 F had no trouble handling pedal notes from an extensive organ collection and filled a moderately large media room with musical bass, while also managing dynamic film soundtracks without distress. For home cinema, its LFE input and 40 to 120 Hz crossover allow direct integration with AV receivers in stereo, 2.1, 5.1, or 7.1 configurations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the grille included with the DALI SUB E-9 F?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI SUB E-9 F is supplied without a grille as standard. The matching grille is available as an optional accessory and attaches magnetically, leaving no visible fixings or marks when removed. Without the grille, the pure aluminum cone is fully exposed, which many owners find visually striking given the driver's distinctive metallic appearance. With the grille fitted, the subwoofer takes on a more conventional, understated look suited to living rooms and home cinema environments where the raw driver aesthetic is not preferred.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dali","offers":[{"title":"Satin Black","offer_id":46846414225660,"sku":null,"price":1000.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Satin White","offer_id":46846414258428,"sku":null,"price":1000.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0116\/1773\/0617\/files\/DaliSUBE-9FVinylSoundBlack2.webp?v=1738211668"},{"product_id":"dali-sub-c8d","title":"Dali Sub C‑8 D Subwoofer (Each)","description":"\u003ch1\u003eDALI SUB C-8 D Subwoofer at Vinyl Sound Toronto Canada\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe SUB C-8 D is DALI's (Danish Audiophile Loudspeaker Industries, Allerød, Denmark) entry-level compact active subwoofer, available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada.

A key component of the DALI SPEKTOR 2 5.1 system that received a five-star rating from What Hi-Fi?, the SUB C-8 D is DALI's recommended subwoofer partner for the OBERON and SPEKTOR series loudspeakers. Its down-firing port, polymer spike decoupling, and rear-panel LFE plus stereo line inputs allow it to integrate with virtually any amplifier or receiver in a corner or near-wall position without modification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e8-Inch Paper Pulp Driver: Controlled, Musical, Low-Distortion Bass\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SUB C-8 D uses an 8-inch woofer with a cone constructed from high-quality paper pulp, a material chosen for its well-understood breakup characteristics and natural damping properties. Unlike stiffer aluminum cone designs, paper pulp offers a more gradual and predictable cone breakup profile, which contributes to the SUB C-8 D's musical, non-boomy character in small to medium-sized rooms. The cone construction follows DALI's low-loss design principles, with a surround geometry engineered for long and linear excursion, keeping the driver moving cleanly through the full range of its travel without the non-linearity that causes one-note bass at the excursion limits. The driver fires downward into the floor through the 30 mm raised polymer spike base, and an auxiliary bass reflex port tuned to 49 Hz also fires downward, allowing the entire low-frequency system to be positioned against a wall with a minimum 5 cm clearance without port noise or turbulence. This down-firing architecture is central to the SUB C-8 D's placement flexibility in real-world rooms where rear-wall proximity is unavoidable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e170-Watt Class-D Amplifier: Linear, Protected, Efficient\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe integrated 170-watt RMS Class-D amplifier is built around a switch-mode power supply for high efficiency and low heat generation, eliminating the need for an external heat sink and maintaining the SUB C-8 D's compact cabinet profile. At peak demand it delivers 220 watts to handle the dynamic transients in movie LFE content and music passages that briefly exceed the continuous power rating. An integrated power limiter monitors the signal path at all times and attenuates transparently before amplifier clipping can occur, protecting the driver and amplifier at high output levels without introducing audible pumping or dynamic compression. Rear-panel controls for volume\/gain, crossover frequency (40 to 120 Hz), and phase are supplemented by a standby auto-power function that activates the amplifier when signal is detected and returns to low-power standby in its absence. Both mono LFE and stereo line-level RCA inputs ensure compatibility with any AV receiver, stereo amplifier, or processor without adapters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e8-Inch Down-Firing Paper Pulp Long-Stroke Driver:\u003c\/strong\u003e A high-quality paper pulp cone with a low-loss surround geometry delivers long, linear excursion and natural, controlled bass with excellent breakup characteristics for both music and movie reproduction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e170W RMS Class-D Amplifier:\u003c\/strong\u003e A switch-mode-powered Class-D amplifier rated at 170 watts continuous and 220 watts peak provides sustained output with high efficiency, low heat generation, and a transparent power limiter for driver protection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e33 Hz to 200 Hz Frequency Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e A bass reflex enclosure tuned to 49 Hz with a down-firing port extends usable low-frequency output to 33 Hz, providing genuine subwoofer bass depth for compact OBERON and SPEKTOR speaker systems.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDown-Firing Driver and Port:\u003c\/strong\u003e Both the driver and the bass reflex port fire downward, allowing the SUB C-8 D to be placed within 5 cm of a rear wall in a corner or along a wall without port noise, turbulence, or bass bloom.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdjustable Crossover (40 to 120 Hz):\u003c\/strong\u003e A continuously variable rear-panel low-pass crossover allows precise frequency matching to any main speaker, from compact SPEKTOR 1 standmounts to OBERON 3 bookshelf speakers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLFE and Stereo Line Inputs:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mono LFE and stereo line-level RCA inputs with onboard low-pass filtering ensure compatibility with any AV receiver, stereo integrated amplifier, or preamplifier output.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePhase Switch:\u003c\/strong\u003e A rear-panel phase switch enables acoustic alignment with the main speakers in any room placement configuration, including corner and wall-adjacent positions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuto Standby:\u003c\/strong\u003e Signal-sensing auto power on\/off activates the amplifier automatically on signal detection and returns to standby during silence, with a manual on\/off switch for installations requiring instant-on behaviour.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePolymer Spike Decoupling Base:\u003c\/strong\u003e Four oversized polymer-based spikes raise the cabinet 30 mm from the floor, eliminating turbulence in the space between the cabinet base and the floor surface and mechanically decoupling the enclosure from floor-borne vibration.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompact MDF Cabinet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Solid MDF construction with dimensions of 335 mm x 295 mm x 310 mm in Black Ash or White satin finish blends with any speaker design and room decor without dominating the space.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eFrequency Range (+\/-3 dB)\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e33 Hz to 200 Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eMaximum SPL\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e109 dB\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCrossover Frequency\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e40 to 120 Hz (adjustable)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eLow Frequency Driver\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e1 x 8-inch long-stroke, paper pulp cone (down-firing)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eEnclosure Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBass reflex (down-firing port)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBass Reflex Tuning Frequency\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e49 Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eContinuous Amplifier Power (RMS)\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e170 W\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eMaximum Amplifier Power (Peak)\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e220 W\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eInput Impedance\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e25k Ohm\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eConnection Inputs\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eMono Line Level LFE (RCA);

Five-Star Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e What Hi-Fi? (UK). The DALI SUB C-8 D was a central component of the DALI SPEKTOR 2 5.1 speaker system that received a five-star rating from What Hi-Fi?, described as a package that was \"up there with the very best at the money,\" praising its weight, warmth, and seamless integration across music and movie content.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the DALI SUB C-8 D?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI SUB C-8 D is a compact 8-inch active bass reflex subwoofer from Danish Audiophile Loudspeaker Industries (DALI), Allerød, Denmark. It features a down-firing paper pulp long-stroke woofer, a 170-watt RMS Class-D amplifier with 220-watt peak output, and a down-firing bass reflex port tuned to 49 Hz. Its frequency range is 33 Hz to 200 Hz at +\/-3 dB, with a maximum SPL of 109 dB, in a cabinet measuring 335 mm x 295 mm x 310 mm. The SUB C-8 D was a component of the DALI SPEKTOR 2 5.1 system that received a five-star rating from What Hi-Fi?, and is DALI's recommended subwoofer partner for the OBERON and SPEKTOR series loudspeakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the DALI SUB C-8 D compare to the DALI SUB E-9 F and SVS SB-1000 Pro?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI SUB C-8 D, DALI SUB E-9 F, and SVS SB-1000 Pro target the compact entry-level subwoofer category with different driver and enclosure approaches. The DALI SUB E-9 F uses a larger 9-inch pure aluminum cone driver that prioritises stiffness and piston-like precision, while the SUB C-8 D uses an 8-inch paper pulp cone that delivers a more naturally damped, musically forgiving character suited to smaller rooms and compact speaker pairings. The SVS SB-1000 Pro uses a sealed enclosure for tighter, more accurate bass that rolls off more steeply below 30 Hz. The SUB C-8 D's ported design extends to 33 Hz with a down-firing driver and port, offering more output in the 35 to 60 Hz range than a sealed design of similar size, which is particularly beneficial for the compact SPEKTOR and OBERON speakers it is designed to complement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the DALI SUB C-8 D be placed against a wall?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the DALI SUB C-8 D can be positioned within 5 cm of a rear wall due to its down-firing driver and bass reflex port. Both the woofer and the port direct airflow toward the floor rather than toward the rear or front wall, which allows wall-adjacent and corner placement without the port chuffing, bass reinforcement irregularities, or turbulence that front- or rear-firing ports can experience close to boundaries. DALI recommends corner or near-wall placement to maximise bass output and room-filling distribution, making the down-firing design a practical advantage in compact rooms where wall proximity is unavoidable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat speakers pair best with the DALI SUB C-8 D?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDALI recommends the SUB C-8 D as the ideal subwoofer companion for the OBERON and SPEKTOR series loudspeakers. Its adjustable 40 to 120 Hz crossover and compact footprint make it well suited to small bookshelf speakers such as the SPEKTOR 1, SPEKTOR 2, OBERON 1, and OBERON 3, which benefit from crossover points between 80 and 120 Hz. DALI's own product pages note the C-8 D as the entry-level recommended partner for SPEKTOR and OBERON, with larger DALI subwoofer models recommended for RUBICON and OPTICON series floorstanders. Its paper pulp driver character also blends naturally with the wood fibre cone voicing of the SPEKTOR and OBERON woofers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between a paper pulp cone and an aluminum cone in a subwoofer?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaper pulp and aluminum represent two different design priorities for subwoofer driver cones. An aluminum cone is extremely stiff and light, which produces a very fast, piston-like response and high linearity up to the point of cone breakup, after which distortion rises quickly. A paper pulp cone is softer and more internally damped, which produces a more gradual, controlled breakup profile that some listeners find more musically natural in the bass region. DALI uses aluminum in the SUB E-9 F and SUB E-12 F for their fast, precise character, and paper pulp in the SUB C-8 D for its natural damping and smooth, forgiving bass reproduction. For compact speaker pairings in smaller rooms, the paper pulp design tends to integrate seamlessly without drawing attention to the subwoofer's presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the DALI SUB C-8 D in Toronto or Canada?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI SUB C-8 D is available in Toronto and across Canada at Vinyl Sound, an authorised DALI dealer. Vinyl Sound carries the complete DALI subwoofer lineup and can advise on the best model to match your main speakers, room size, and listening priorities. Purchasing from an authorised dealer ensures full DALI manufacturer warranty coverage and professional after-sales support throughout Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the DALI SUB C-8 D work for music as well as home cinema?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the DALI SUB C-8 D is specifically engineered for equal performance with music and movie content. What Hi-Fi? noted its contribution to the SPEKTOR 2 5.1 system's ability to deliver weight, warmth, and dialogue naturalness alongside convincing surround sound effects, confirming its dual-purpose capability. Its paper pulp driver's natural damping makes it particularly suited to music reproduction in small rooms where more powerful subwoofers may overwhelm the space, while its 33 Hz extension and 170-watt amplifier provide sufficient output for LFE channel content in home cinema configurations up to approximately 25 square metres.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs there an auto standby function on the DALI SUB C-8 D?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the DALI SUB C-8 D includes a signal-sensing auto standby function that powers the amplifier on automatically when an audio signal is detected and returns to low-power standby when the input signal is absent. A manual on\/off switch is also provided on the rear panel for installations where the auto standby response time is incompatible with the system or where the user prefers to control power state manually. The switch-mode power supply design keeps standby consumption low without an external heat sink, contributing to the subwoofer's compact dimensions and low operating temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dali","offers":[{"title":"Black Ash","offer_id":46846414323964,"sku":null,"price":800.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Satin White","offer_id":46846414356732,"sku":null,"price":800.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0116\/1773\/0617\/files\/DaliSUBC-8DVinylSoundBlackAsh2.webp?v=1738212369"},{"product_id":"dali-connect-stand-m601","title":"Dali Connect Stand M-601 Premium Speaker Stand (Pair)","description":"\u003ch1\u003eDALI Connect Stand M-601 Premium Speaker Stand at Vinyl Sound Toronto Canada\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Connect Stand M-601 is a premium speaker stand from DALI (Struer, Denmark), available as a pair at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada.

Active standmount speakers such as the Callisto 2 C and Rubicon 2 C require both a speaker cable and a power cord, the latter using a significantly bulkier plug than a standard speaker cable termination. The M-601's internal cable routing channel accommodates this larger plug geometry, allowing both cables to be routed invisibly through the stand pole from the 20 mm entry hole in the centre of the glass base plate to a terminating exit point directly below the top plate. The result is a completely clean visual presentation with no visible cabling between the stand base and the speaker, maintaining the architectural integrity of the installation regardless of the room environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eExtruded Aluminium Pole and Glass Base Construction\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe M-601's stand pole is extruded aluminium with internal bracing that serves two structural functions. First, the bracing adds rigidity to the pole itself, preventing flex or resonance under the mechanical load of the speaker and its associated cabling. Second, the internal bracing geometry breaks up standing waves that would otherwise develop inside the hollow pole and transmit vibrational energy into the speaker's enclosure, colouring the sound. The pole terminates at the top in a painted iron top plate and at the base in a 12 mm thick silk matte painted glass plate that adds significant mass and a low centre of gravity to the stand, improving overall stability. Adjustable floor spikes allow precise levelling on carpet, while included rubber bumpers provide secure, scratch-free decoupling on hardwood, tile, and laminate floors common in Canadian residential

Connect Stand M-601 is a premium speaker stand from DALI (Struer, Denmark) featuring an extruded aluminium pole with internal bracing, a 12 mm silk matte painted glass base, an updated cable management system sized for active speaker power cord plugs, and a total height of 615 mm including spikes. It is sold as a pair, available in black and white, and is available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada. It is optimised for use with the DALI Callisto 2 C and Rubicon 2 C active standmount speakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the DALI Connect Stand M-601 compare to other premium speaker stands?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Connect Stand M-601 distinguishes itself from competing premium speaker stands through its active-speaker-optimised cable management system, which accommodates bulkier power cord plugs that standard stands with narrow cable channels cannot accept. Competing options such as the Atacama Moseco 6, Focal Kanta Stand, and Sound Organisation Z614 offer quality construction and internal cable routing but are not specifically engineered for the plug geometry of active speakers. The M-601's 12 mm glass base and extruded aluminium pole with internal bracing also place it at the higher end of the structural rigidity and resonance control spectrum compared to stands using sheet steel columns or unfilled hollow profiles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the DALI Connect Stand M-601 compatible with passive speakers as well as active speakers?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the DALI Connect Stand M-601 is compatible with any standmount speaker, passive or active, that fits within its top plate dimensions and weight capacity. The logo-free design and availability in black and white make it suitable for speakers from any manufacturer. The updated cable management channel is sized to accommodate power cord plugs for active speakers, but it also routes standard speaker cables cleanly for passive speaker installations. The M-601 is optimised for the DALI Callisto 2 C and Rubicon 2 C but is a practical and premium stand choice for any standmount speaker in a home audio system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the internal cable management system in the M-601 work?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Connect Stand M-601 cable management system routes cables through the interior of the extruded aluminium stand pole from the base to the top. A 20 mm diameter entry hole in the centre of the glass base plate provides access to the pole interior from below, allowing cables to be fed upward through the stand. A terminating exit hole positioned directly below the iron top plate allows the cables to emerge at the top of the pole, immediately behind the speaker. This fully conceals all cabling between the floor and the speaker, leaving no visible cable runs on the outside of the stand. For active speakers, both the speaker cable and power cord can be routed simultaneously through the same channel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eShould I use the spikes or rubber bumpers on my floor in Toronto?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe choice between spikes and rubber bumpers depends on the floor surface. The adjustable spikes are designed for carpet installations, piercing through the carpet pile to make firm contact with the subfloor beneath, maximising stand stability and mechanical grounding. The rubber bumpers are designed for hard floor surfaces including hardwood, engineered wood, ceramic tile, and laminate, which are common in Toronto and Canadian homes. The rubber bumpers provide secure decoupling without scratching or marking the floor surface. Anti-slip and adhesive pads are also included for additional securing options on smooth hard floor surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the DALI Connect Stand M-601 in Toronto or Canada?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Connect Stand M-601 is available as a pair at Vinyl Sound, an authorised DALI dealer in Toronto, Canada. Vinyl Sound serves customers across the Greater Toronto Area and ships throughout Canada. The M-601 is available in both black and white finishes, and Vinyl Sound can advise on the correct finish to complement the DALI Callisto 2 C, Rubicon 2 C, or any other standmount speaker in a complete system configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the correct height for a speaker stand for seated listening?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe optimal speaker stand height for seated listening positions the tweeter of the standmount speaker at approximately ear height when the listener is seated in the primary listening position. For most adults seated in a standard sofa or chair, ear height is typically between 90 cm and 110 cm from the floor. The DALI Connect Stand M-601's 615 mm total height, combined with the height of a typical standmount speaker enclosure of 250 mm to 350 mm, brings the tweeter into the 85 cm to 100 cm range, which aligns well with standard seated ear height for most listeners and most standmount speaker models in the DALI portfolio.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dali","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":46846414455036,"sku":null,"price":800.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White","offer_id":46846414487804,"sku":null,"price":800.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0116\/1773\/0617\/files\/DaliConnectStandM-601SpeakerStand_Pair_1.png?v=1769830972"},{"product_id":"dali-e600","title":"Dali Connect Stand M-600 Speaker Stand (Pair)","description":"\u003ch1\u003eDALI Connect Stand M-600 Speaker Stand at Vinyl Sound Toronto Canada\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Connect Stand M-600 is a premium speaker stand from DALI (Struer, Denmark), available as a pair at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada.

The bracing stiffens the pole against flex under the mechanical load of the speaker, creating a rigid and stable platform that does not rock, sway, or vibrate during playback. It also breaks up standing waves that would otherwise develop within the hollow pole interior and transmit vibrational energy into the speaker enclosure, introducing coloration into the sound. The pole terminates at the base in a 12 mm thick silk matte painted glass plate that adds significant mass and lowers the stand's centre of gravity, and at the top in a painted iron top plate that provides a flat, stable mounting surface for the speaker. This combination of materials and internal geometry produces a stand that is simultaneously elegant in appearance and effective as an acoustic isolation platform, performing at a level consistent with specialist stand brands such as Atacama, Sound Organisation, and Solidsteel within the same construction tier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCable Management and Floor Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe M-600 stand pole contains a full-length internal cable management channel accessed through a 20 mm diameter entry hole in the centre of the glass base plate. Speaker cables are fed upward through the pole interior and exit through a terminating hole directly below the iron top plate, emerging immediately behind the speaker connection point with no visible cable run on the outside of the stand. This produces a completely clean visual presentation suitable for open-plan living rooms, dedicated listening rooms, and any space where cable tidiness is a priority. For carpet installations, the adjustable floor spikes are used to pierce the carpet pile and make firm contact with the subfloor beneath, maximising stability and mechanical grounding. On hardwood, tile, laminate, and other hard floor surfaces common in Canadian homes, the included rubber bumpers replace the spikes to provide secure, scratch-free

Connect Stand M-600 is a premium speaker stand from DALI (Struer, Denmark) featuring an extruded aluminium pole with internal bracing, a 12 mm silk matte painted glass base, a painted iron top plate of 5.87 x 7.76 inches, internal cable management, and a total height of 615 mm including spikes. It is sold as a stereo pair, available in black and white, backed by a 5-year warranty, and available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada. It is suitable for any standmount speaker brand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the DALI Connect Stand M-600 compare to the M-601?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Connect Stand M-600 and M-601 share the same core construction: extruded aluminium pole with internal bracing, 12 mm glass base, painted iron top plate, 615 mm total height, internal cable management, adjustable spikes, rubber bumpers, and black and white finish options. The key difference is the cable management channel diameter. The M-601 features an updated channel sized to accommodate the bulkier power cord plugs of active speakers such as the Callisto 2 C and Rubicon 2 C. The M-600's channel is sized for standard speaker cables only and is not suitable for routing active speaker power cord plugs. For passive speaker installations, both stands are functionally equivalent. For active speaker installations requiring power cord routing, the M-601 is the correct choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the DALI Connect Stand M-600 be used with speakers from other brands?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the DALI Connect Stand M-600 is explicitly designed to be compatible with any standmount speaker brand. It ships logo-free as standard, with DALI logo badges included in the box for optional attachment. The 5.87 x 7.76 inch top plate accommodates a wide range of standmount speaker enclosure footprints from manufacturers including KEF, Bowers and Wilkins, Focal, Monitor Audio, and Dynaudio, making the M-600 a practical premium stand choice for any standmount speaker system regardless of brand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the internal cable management system work in the M-600?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Connect Stand M-600 cable management system routes speaker cables through the interior of the extruded aluminium pole from base to top. A 20 mm diameter entry hole in the centre of the glass base plate provides access to the pole interior, allowing the speaker cable to be fed upward through the stand from the amplifier connection point below. A terminating exit hole directly below the iron top plate allows the cable to emerge at the top of the stand, immediately behind the speaker's binding posts. This completely conceals the cable within the stand structure, leaving no visible cable run on the outside of the pole between the floor and the speaker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eShould I use the spikes or rubber bumpers on my floor?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Connect Stand M-600 includes both adjustable spikes and rubber bumpers to suit different floor surfaces. The spikes are designed for carpet installations, piercing through the pile to make direct contact with the subfloor and providing maximum stand stability and mechanical grounding. The rubber bumpers are designed for hard floor surfaces including hardwood, engineered wood, ceramic tile, and laminate, which are common in Canadian residential interiors. The rubber bumpers provide secure decoupling without scratching or marking the floor. Anti-slip and adhesive pads are also included as additional securing options for smooth surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the DALI Connect Stand M-600 in Toronto or Canada?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Connect Stand M-600 is available as a pair at Vinyl Sound, an authorised DALI dealer in Toronto, Canada. Vinyl Sound serves customers across the Greater Toronto Area and ships throughout Canada. The M-600 is available in both black and white finishes. Vinyl Sound can also advise on the difference between the M-600 and M-601 to ensure the correct stand is selected for a specific speaker and system configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the warranty on the DALI Connect Stand M-600?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Connect Stand M-600 is covered by a 5-year manufacturer warranty, reflecting DALI's confidence in the long-term durability of the extruded aluminium construction, glass base, and hardware components.

It is a no-compromise custom installation loudspeaker designed to deliver the full dynamic range and resolution of a high-performance floorstanding speaker from within a standard wall cavity. Two \u003cstrong\u003e8-inch SMC wood fibre woofers\u003c\/strong\u003e, two \u003cstrong\u003e10-inch carbon fibre passive radiators\u003c\/strong\u003e sourced directly from the DALI SUB P-10 DSS subwoofer, and a rotatable Hybrid Tweeter module achieve a frequency range of \u003cstrong\u003e25 Hz to 48 kHz\u003c\/strong\u003e within a mounting depth of just 103 mm. The Phantom S-280 draws on EPICON-developed SMC magnet technology, DALI's patented Hybrid Tweeter, and a solid MDF cabinet engineered to behave as an acoustically inert enclosure despite its slim profile. At 89 dB sensitivity and a recommended amplifier power of 40 to 400 watts, it suits both dedicated stereo listening rooms and the most ambitious multi-channel home cinema installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eRotatable Hybrid Tweeter Module for Wide Dispersion\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Phantom S-280 uses DALI's signature Hybrid Tweeter module, combining a 29 mm soft dome tweeter with a high-performance 17 x 45 mm planar ribbon tweeter, both mounted on a cast aluminium faceplate. The soft dome delivers the dynamic impact and clarity expected of pistonic high-frequency reproduction, while the ribbon element extends the response smoothly upward beyond the audible range with a finesse that soft domes cannot replicate alone. A key advantage specific to the Phantom S-280 is that the entire tweeter module is rotatable, allowing the high-frequency dispersion axis to be oriented correctly whether the speaker is installed in a vertical stereo configuration or rotated for use as a centre channel in a multi-channel home cinema system. DALI's wide dispersion design philosophy ensures that the listening sweet spot extends throughout the room rather than being restricted to a single on-axis position, which is essential for the flush-wall mounting position of an in-wall speaker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eEPICON-Derived SMC Magnet System and 8-inch Woofers\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe two 8-inch bass and midrange woofers in the Phantom S-280 were designed specifically for this speaker and use the same SMC (Soft Magnetic Composite) magnet system originally developed for DALI's EPICON flagship series. The pole piece of each woofer's ferrite magnet assembly is manufactured from SMC, a material with uniquely high magnetic permeability and very low electrical conductivity. This combination dramatically reduces magnetic hysteresis and eddy current distortion within the motor, lowering third-order harmonic distortion and improving low-level detail retrieval. The 8-inch cone also provides 70 percent more diaphragm surface area compared to a conventional 6.5-inch woofer, enabling greater air displacement at low frequencies and higher sound pressure levels without increased mechanical stress. The wood fibre cone material and low-loss rubber surround further reduce coloration and ensure a natural, coherent midrange character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e10-inch Carbon Fibre Passive Radiators for Deep Bass in a Slim Cabinet\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAchieving extended low-frequency response in a speaker with a mounting depth of just 103 mm presents a fundamental acoustic engineering challenge. DALI resolved it in the Phantom S-280 by incorporating two 10-inch passive radiators taken directly from the DALI SUB P-10 DSS dedicated subwoofer, one of DALI's highest-performance bass products. These passive radiators use the same aluminium chassis, soft surround, and carbon fibre cone as the SUB P-10 DSS unit, and they are tuned to move in sympathy with the primary woofers to extend bass output deep into the lower frequencies. The result is a believable large-enclosure bass performance from a speaker that occupies no usable floor space and integrates invisibly into the wall surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCabinet Design and Installation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Phantom S-280 enclosure is constructed from solid MDF with a rear chamber that is fully sealed and lined internally, providing the correct acoustic volume for the woofers regardless of the wall cavity conditions behind the installation. The extruded aluminium surround frames the speaker elegantly against the wall surface, while the magnet-mounted front grille provides a clean, minimal visual presence. Grilles are paintable to match any wall finish when an invisible installation is required. The dogleg mounting clamp system simplifies installation, securing the speaker firmly to walls of varying thickness without requiring custom carpentry. At just 103 mm mounting depth, the Phantom S-280 fits into most standard domestic wall cavities without structural modification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRotatable Hybrid Tweeter Module:\u003c\/strong\u003e Combines a 29 mm soft dome with a 17 x 45 mm planar ribbon tweeter on a cast aluminium faceplate.

It is a custom installation speaker featuring two 8-inch SMC wood fibre woofers, two 10-inch carbon fibre passive radiators derived from the DALI SUB P-10 DSS subwoofer, and a rotatable Hybrid Tweeter module combining a 29 mm soft dome and a 17 x 45 mm ribbon tweeter. It achieves a frequency range of 25 Hz to 48,000 Hz from a mounting depth of just 103 mm, and is sold as a single speaker for use in stereo pairs or multi-channel home cinema systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the DALI Phantom S-280 compare to the Sonance Plunge Series and Klipsch Reference In-Wall speakers?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Phantom S-280 occupies a distinctly higher performance tier than mainstream custom install speakers such as the Klipsch Reference in-wall range. While Klipsch Reference In-Wall models use a single 8-inch woofer and a horn-loaded tweeter, the Phantom S-280 uses a two-woofer plus dual passive radiator system with EPICON-derived SMC magnets and a planar-hybrid tweeter, delivering a frequency response extending to 25 Hz from within the wall rather than requiring a separate subwoofer. Compared to the Sonance Plunge Series, which also targets the high-end custom install market, the Phantom S-280 differs in using DALI's patented SMC motor technology and a rotatable hybrid tweeter module derived from the company's audiophile speaker heritage, resulting in a different sonic character that reviewers have described as complete, refined, and dynamic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the DALI Phantom S-280 replace a subwoofer in a home cinema system?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Phantom S-280 extends down to 25 Hz in free-field conditions, which is deep enough to reproduce most musical bass content and low-frequency cinematic effects without a dedicated subwoofer. The two 10-inch carbon fibre passive radiators, sourced directly from the DALI SUB P-10 DSS, are responsible for this unusually extended bass performance in a speaker of 103 mm mounting depth. However, for the most demanding home cinema applications requiring maximum impact at the very lowest frequencies, pairing the Phantom S-280 with a dedicated subwoofer such as the DALI SUB P-10 DSS will provide additional headroom and extension. For music listening and most film soundtracks, the Phantom S-280 can operate as a full-range speaker without supplemental bass support.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the SMC magnet system in the Phantom S-280, and why does it matter?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSMC stands for Soft Magnetic Composite, a patented DALI magnet motor material originally developed for the EPICON flagship loudspeaker series and applied to the Phantom S-280's two 8-inch woofers. The pole piece inside each woofer's ferrite magnet assembly is made entirely from SMC, a pressed and coated granular material with very high magnetic permeability and very low electrical conductivity. This combination reduces magnetic hysteresis and eddy currents within the motor, which are the primary causes of non-linear, third-order harmonic distortion in conventional driver designs. The audible result is lower distortion at all listening levels, a more relaxed and natural midrange character, and finer low-level detail retrieval compared to conventional in-wall speaker designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the DALI Phantom S-280 in Toronto or Canada?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Phantom S-280 is available at Vinyl Sound, an authorised DALI dealer in Toronto, Canada. Vinyl Sound carries the full DALI Phantom series and can provide consultation on installation planning, system design, and amplifier matching for custom install projects. Purchasing from an authorised Canadian dealer ensures full manufacturer warranty support and access to knowledgeable local advice for custom installation projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the Phantom S-280 be used as a centre channel speaker?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the DALI Phantom S-280 is designed to function as a centre channel in multi-channel home cinema systems. The Hybrid Tweeter module is fully rotatable, allowing the high-frequency dispersion axis to be oriented horizontally when the speaker is installed in landscape orientation as a centre channel. This ensures that the ribbon and dome tweeter elements project sound correctly toward the listening position regardless of the speaker's physical orientation. DALI designed the entire Phantom S series with multi-channel flexibility in mind, and the S-280 pairs directly with the Phantom M-675 dedicated centre channel speaker for installations requiring a smaller form factor at the centre position.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat amplifier or AV receiver works best with the DALI Phantom S-280?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Phantom S-280 operates at an 8-ohm nominal impedance and is recommended for use with amplifiers rated between 40 and 400 watts. Its 8-ohm load is straightforward for most custom install amplifiers and high-quality AV receivers, making it compatible with a wide range of electronics. For stereo listening, dedicated stereo power amplifiers or integrated amplifiers from brands such as Arcam, NAD, or Rotel in the 80 to 200 watt range are well suited. For home cinema use, multi-channel power amplifiers or AV receivers with stable 8-ohm outputs work effectively. The Phantom S-280's 89 dB sensitivity means it reaches high output levels without requiring extreme amplifier power, but it benefits from clean, well-controlled current delivery to take full advantage of its dynamic range and bass extension.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dali","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46846414553340,"sku":"","price":8000.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0116\/1773\/0617\/files\/DaliPhantomS-280VinylSoundWhite2.webp?v=1737872834"},{"product_id":"dali-phantom-s180","title":"Dali Phantom S‑180 In‑Wall Speaker (Each)","description":"\u003ch1\u003eDALI Phantom S-180 In-Wall Speaker at Vinyl Sound Toronto Canada\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Phantom S-180 is a full-size in-wall speaker from DALI (Hobro, Denmark), available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada.

Its frequency range extends from \u003cstrong\u003e25 Hz to 49,000 Hz\u003c\/strong\u003e within a mounting depth of just 103 mm. The Phantom S-180 applies EPICON-derived SMC magnet technology, DALI's signature wide dispersion design principles, and solid MDF cabinet construction to produce an in-wall speaker that integrates invisibly into any room while performing at a level traditionally associated with freestanding audiophile loudspeakers. Sold as a single speaker, it suits stereo pairs, centre channel, and multi-channel surround applications with equal versatility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eRotatable Hybrid Tweeter Module with Installation Flexibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Phantom S-180's Hybrid Tweeter module combines a 28 mm soft dome tweeter with a high-performance 17 x 45 mm planar ribbon tweeter, providing the dynamic clarity of a pistonic dome alongside the superior horizontal dispersion and high-frequency finesse of a planar element. A key installation-specific feature of the S-180 is how DALI has engineered the driver layout to address a practical challenge of in-wall mounting. The hybrid tweeter module is positioned at the bottom of the speaker enclosure, which allows the S-180 to be mounted at a higher position on the wall, aligning the planar tweeter with the listener's ear height while keeping the overall speaker at a comfortable level relative to a wall-mounted television. The dome tweeter is also rotated within the module to optimise its handover to the woofer, resulting in improved phase coherence and better room integration at the crossover frequency. The entire module is rotatable for correct orientation whether used in a vertical stereo configuration or rotated horizontally as a centre channel in a multi-channel system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eEPICON-Derived SMC Magnet System and 8-inch Wood Fibre Woofer\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Phantom S-180's primary 8-inch woofer is a specially developed driver that uses the same SMC (Soft Magnetic Composite) magnet system originally created for DALI's EPICON flagship loudspeaker range. The pole piece inside the driver's ferrite ring magnet is manufactured from SMC, a granular material combining very high magnetic permeability with very low electrical conductivity. This unusual pairing reduces magnetic hysteresis and eddy currents within the motor assembly, which are the primary mechanisms behind non-linear, third-order harmonic distortion in conventional drivers. The audible result is a cleaner, more relaxed midrange character and superior low-level detail recovery compared to standard custom install speaker designs. The 8-inch cone provides 70 percent more diaphragm surface area than a conventional 6.5-inch woofer, moving more air at low frequencies for higher output capability without additional mechanical stress. The wood fibre cone material and low-loss rubber surround further minimise coloration and ensure a natural, coherent tonal balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e10-inch Carbon Fibre Passive Radiator for Extended Bass\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAchieving genuinely extended bass output from a speaker with only 103 mm of mounting depth is an engineering constraint that the Phantom S-180 addresses through its integrated 10-inch passive radiator. This unit is taken directly from the DALI SUB P-10 DSS high-end subwoofer, using the same aluminium chassis, soft surround, and carbon fibre cone as the subwoofer component it is derived from. Tuned to move in acoustic sympathy with the primary woofer, the passive radiator extends low-frequency bandwidth deep into the true lower registers, reproducing bass frequencies associated with a large-box floorstanding speaker rather than a compact in-wall installation. The carbon fibre cone material is chosen for its combination of low mass, high stiffness, and excellent damping behaviour, which together produce tight, controlled bass rather than the soft, poorly defined low-end that often characterises in-wall speakers with smaller or lower-quality passive systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCabinet Design and Slim-Profile Installation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Phantom S-180 enclosure is constructed from solid MDF, providing a rigid, acoustically inert platform for the drivers. At 103 mm mounting depth, the cabinet fits into almost any standard domestic wall without structural modification. The rear chamber is engineered to provide the correct internal volume for the woofer regardless of what lies behind the installation wall, ensuring consistent acoustic performance across different installation environments. An extruded aluminium frame surrounds the front face of the speaker, integrating cleanly with the wall surface, while the magnet-mounted front grille provides a minimal visual footprint. The grille is paintable to match any wall finish for a fully invisible installation. The dogleg clamp mounting system secures the speaker firmly to the wall without requiring special tools or complex carpentry, making professional installation straightforward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRotatable Hybrid Tweeter Module:\u003c\/strong\u003e Combines a 28 mm soft dome with a 17 x 45 mm planar ribbon tweeter.

It is a two-and-a-half-way custom installation speaker combining a single 8-inch SMC wood fibre woofer, a 10-inch carbon fibre passive radiator derived from the DALI SUB P-10 DSS subwoofer, and a rotatable Hybrid Tweeter module with a 28 mm soft dome and a 17 x 45 mm planar ribbon tweeter. It covers a frequency range of 25 Hz to 49,000 Hz within a 103 mm mounting depth, and is sold individually for use as a stereo pair, centre channel, or multi-channel surround speaker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the DALI Phantom S-180 compare to the DALI Phantom S-280 and Phantom S-80?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Phantom S-180 sits between the S-80 and the S-280 in DALI's Phantom S series in terms of size, driver complement, and output capability. Compared to the S-80, the S-180 adds the 10-inch carbon fibre passive radiator for extended bass and is physically larger, making it better suited to medium and larger rooms. Compared to the flagship S-280, the S-180 uses a single 8-inch woofer and one passive radiator rather than the S-280's dual-woofer and dual passive radiator configuration, and its maximum SPL is 109 dB versus the S-280's 112 dB. All three models share the same Hybrid Tweeter module with rotatable mounting, EPICON-derived SMC magnet technology, and 103 mm mounting depth. The S-180 is the natural choice for rooms where the S-280's larger footprint cannot be accommodated, or where it will serve as a centre channel matched with S-280 main speakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the DALI Phantom S-180 be used as a centre channel speaker?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the DALI Phantom S-180 is specifically designed to function as a centre channel in multi-channel home cinema and custom installation systems. Its Hybrid Tweeter module is fully rotatable, allowing correct horizontal orientation of the high-frequency dispersion axis when the speaker is installed in landscape position as a centre channel. DALI has noted the S-180 as the recommended centre channel pairing for installations using the Phantom S-280 as main left and right speakers, producing a homogeneous and spatially coherent front soundstage with no acoustic gaps between channels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is SMC magnet technology, and why does DALI use it in the Phantom S-180?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSMC stands for Soft Magnetic Composite, a patented DALI magnet motor material first developed for the EPICON flagship speaker series and applied in the Phantom S-180's 8-inch woofer. The pole piece within the driver's ferrite magnet assembly is manufactured from SMC, a pressed granular compound with very high magnetic permeability and very low electrical conductivity. This combination reduces two major distortion mechanisms, magnetic hysteresis and eddy currents, that are present in the motor assemblies of conventional loudspeaker drivers. The result is a dramatic reduction in third-order harmonic distortion, producing a cleaner, more natural midrange character and better low-level detail recovery compared to standard in-wall speaker designs at this price level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the DALI Phantom S-180 in Toronto or Canada?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Phantom S-180 is available at Vinyl Sound, an authorised DALI dealer in Toronto, Canada. Vinyl Sound carries the complete DALI Phantom S series and can provide consultation on system design, installation planning, amplifier matching, and multi-channel configuration for custom installation projects. Purchasing from an authorised Canadian dealer ensures full DALI manufacturer warranty support and access to experienced local guidance for the installation process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat amplifier power does the DALI Phantom S-180 require?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Phantom S-180 is rated for amplifier power between 40 and 200 watts at a 6-ohm nominal impedance. Its 89 dB sensitivity means it reaches substantial listening levels from relatively modest power, while the 200-watt upper limit allows use with high-quality multi-channel power amplifiers for more demanding installations. A 6-ohm rated amplifier output provides the most controlled bass performance. AV receivers from brands such as Arcam, Anthem, or Denon with stable 6-ohm capability work well for home cinema applications, while two-channel integrated amplifiers or power amplifiers in the 80 to 150 watt range suit dedicated stereo installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow is the Phantom S-180 installed, and does it need a back box?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Phantom S-180 uses a dogleg clamp mounting system that secures the speaker to the wall by tightening against the rear face of the plasterboard or drywall around the cut-out perimeter. A paper template is provided to mark the cut-out dimensions of 865 mm x 420 mm before cutting. The speaker's rear MDF chamber is a fully enclosed and internally lined back box, meaning the acoustic performance of the woofer is controlled by the speaker's own enclosure rather than depending on the wall cavity behind it. This makes the S-180 suitable for installation in both hollow stud walls and solid wall constructions where a traditional in-wall speaker requiring a large open cavity behind it would perform poorly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the DALI Phantom S-180 suitable for music listening as well as home cinema?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the DALI Phantom S-180 is designed to perform equally well for music and home cinema. Its engineering draws directly from DALI's audiophile loudspeaker heritage, applying the same EPICON-derived SMC magnet technology and Hybrid Tweeter module found across the DALI floorstanding speaker range to a flush-wall format. Press coverage of the Phantom S series from Home Cinema Choice described the complete Phantom S system as delivering a spacious, crisp, and dynamic sound suitable for demanding film soundtracks, while also noting that the speakers are an engaging listen for music in a two-channel setup.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dali","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46846414684412,"sku":null,"price":5000.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0116\/1773\/0617\/files\/DaliPhantomS-180VinylSound2.webp?v=1737873606"},{"product_id":"dali-phantom-s80","title":"Dali Phantom S‑80 In‑Wall Speaker (Each)","description":"\u003ch1\u003eDALI Phantom S-80 In-Wall Speaker at Vinyl Sound Toronto Canada\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Phantom S-80 is the most compact speaker in DALI's Phantom S in-wall series, designed and engineered in Hobro, Denmark and available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada.

The S-80's compact form makes it especially suitable as a flexible multi-position speaker in larger Phantom S installations, serving equally well as a rear surround, high-position Atmos effect speaker, or secondary front channel in rooms where the S-180 or S-280 cannot be accommodated. Sold individually, it is designed and manufactured at DALI's own production facilities in Denmark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eEPICON-Derived SMC Woofer: Full-Size Performance in a Compact Format\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Phantom S-80's single 8-inch woofer is a specially developed driver that uses the same SMC (Soft Magnetic Composite) magnet system originally created for DALI's EPICON flagship loudspeaker range. The SMC pole piece inside the ferrite magnet assembly has very high magnetic permeability and very low electrical conductivity, a combination that dramatically reduces magnetic hysteresis and eddy current distortion compared to conventional magnet motor designs. The 8-inch cone diameter gives the driver 70 percent more diaphragm surface area than a standard 6.5-inch woofer found in most in-wall speakers at this price level, producing significantly more air displacement at low frequencies for higher output capability without increased mechanical stress. A four-layer 1.5-inch voice coil is surrounded by aluminium rings for optimal control, low distortion, and high power handling. The cone, low-loss rubber surround, and spider are all optimised for wide bandwidth midrange reproduction alongside bass performance, making the S-80 a genuinely full-range driver without a dedicated midrange unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eRotatable Hybrid Tweeter Module with Inverted Driver Layout\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Phantom S-80 uses DALI's signature Hybrid Tweeter module, combining a 28 mm soft dome tweeter with a 17 x 45 mm planar ribbon tweeter on a precision-machined aluminium faceplate. Both driver elements are free of resonances and high-Q peaks within their operating bandwidths. The soft dome handles frequencies from 2,800 Hz upward with low resonant frequency, high power handling, and exceptional dynamic headroom, while the ribbon element extends coverage smoothly from 15,000 Hz upward with superior horizontal dispersion in the uppermost frequencies. A key installation-specific design decision in the S-80 is the inverted driver layout: the Hybrid Tweeter module is placed at the bottom of the enclosure rather than the top, which allows the speaker to be mounted higher on the wall at a conventional TV-adjacent height while keeping the ribbon tweeter at ear level. The dome tweeter is also rotated within the module to optimise its phase relationship with the woofer and improve bass integration with the room. The complete module is rotatable for correct horizontal dispersion when the speaker is installed in landscape orientation as a centre channel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSolid MDF Cabinet and Wide Dispersion Engineering\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Phantom S-80 enclosure is built from solid MDF, providing a rigid, acoustically inert platform for the woofer and eliminating panel resonance at the 103 mm mounting depth. At this cabinet size, DALI engineered the internal volume precisely to provide the correct acoustic environment for the 8-inch woofer without additional depth. An extruded aluminium frame integrates the speaker cleanly with the wall surface, and the magnet-mounted front grille provides a minimal visual presence. The grille is paintable to match any wall finish. A dogleg clamp mounting system secures the speaker to the wall without specialist tools, and a cut-out template is included. DALI's wide dispersion design philosophy ensures that the S-80's sound is distributed broadly throughout the room rather than narrowly on-axis, which is critical for a flush-mounted speaker where the listener's position cannot be controlled. The even energy distribution produced by the off-axis optimisation of both the woofer and the Hybrid Tweeter module creates a consistent, high-quality listening experience across a wide range of seating positions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e8-inch EPICON-Derived SMC Woofer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Specially developed driver using the EPICON flagship SMC magnet system.

It is a two-and-a-half-way custom installation speaker featuring a single 8-inch EPICON-derived SMC wood fibre woofer and a rotatable Hybrid Tweeter module combining a 28 mm soft dome and a 17 x 45 mm planar ribbon tweeter, all housed in a solid MDF cabinet with a 103 mm mounting depth. It achieves a frequency range of 25 Hz to 59,000 Hz at 88 dB sensitivity and is sold individually for use as a stereo pair, surround speaker, or high-position Atmos effect speaker in multi-channel custom installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the DALI Phantom S-80 compare to the Phantom S-180 and Phantom M-375?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Phantom S-80 is the entry point to DALI's premium Phantom S series, sharing the EPICON-derived SMC magnet system and Hybrid Tweeter module with the larger S-180 and S-280 models, but using a single 8-inch woofer without a passive radiator. Compared to the S-180, the S-80 is physically smaller, has a lower maximum SPL of 108 dB versus 109 dB, and does not include the 10-inch carbon fibre passive radiator from the DALI SUB P-10 DSS that gives the S-180 its extended bass reinforcement. Compared to the Phantom M-375, the S-80 uses the full EPICON-derived SMC magnet system and the same Hybrid Tweeter module, making it a step up in driver technology over the M series, but in a more compact form factor than the M-375. The S-80's smaller cut-out makes it ideal for positions where the S-180 footprint cannot be accommodated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the DALI Phantom S-80 be used as a centre channel speaker?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the DALI Phantom S-80 can be used as a centre channel in multi-channel home cinema systems. When installed horizontally in landscape orientation, the Hybrid Tweeter module should be rotated so that the ribbon tweeter element is positioned as close to ear height as possible and maintains its correct vertical orientation for optimal horizontal high-frequency dispersion. DALI recommends placing the ribbon tweeter at ear height in all S-80 installations, which is why the speaker uses an inverted driver layout with the tweeter module at the bottom. In a horizontal centre channel installation, careful positioning of the ribbon element ensures consistent tonal balance across the full horizontal listening width in front of the screen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy is the Phantom S-80's driver layout inverted compared to a conventional speaker?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDALI deliberately placed the Hybrid Tweeter module at the bottom of the Phantom S-80 enclosure rather than the top as a practical installation solution. Because the ribbon tweeter should be at ear height for optimal performance, placing the tweeter at the bottom allows the entire speaker to be mounted higher on the wall at a conventional TV-adjacent position, rather than requiring it to be installed very low where the tweeter would be at ear height but the speaker would be awkwardly positioned below a television. DALI also rotated the dome tweeter within the module so that it faces toward the woofer above, optimising the physical distance and phase relationship between the dome and the woofer cone for the best acoustic summation at the crossover point and improved bass integration with the room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the DALI Phantom S-80 in Toronto or Canada?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Phantom S-80 is available at Vinyl Sound, an authorised DALI dealer in Toronto, Canada. Vinyl Sound carries the full DALI Phantom S and M series and can assist with system design, cut-out planning, amplifier matching, and multi-channel layout consultation for custom installation projects. Purchasing from an authorised Canadian dealer ensures full DALI manufacturer warranty coverage and access to experienced local support throughout the installation process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat amplifier works well with the DALI Phantom S-80?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Phantom S-80 is rated for 40 to 200 watts at a 6-ohm nominal impedance. Its 88 dB sensitivity is slightly lower than the S-180 and S-280, meaning it benefits from amplifiers at the middle to upper end of its power range for larger rooms. AV receivers and custom install amplifiers from brands such as Arcam, Anthem, NAD, and Denon with 6-ohm rated outputs in the 80 to 150 watt per channel range are well matched. In multi-channel installations where the S-80 serves as a surround or height speaker, it can be powered from a multi-channel amplifier alongside the larger Phantom S speakers, provided all channels receive adequate power within the 40 to 200 watt recommended range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between the DALI Phantom S-80 and the Phantom H-80?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Phantom S-80 and Phantom H-80 both use an 8-inch woofer in a compact in-wall format, but they belong to different product families with different engineering approaches. The S-80 uses the EPICON-derived SMC magnet system and the Hybrid Tweeter module with a planar ribbon element, placing it in DALI's premium Phantom S tier with the same core technology as the S-180 and S-280. The Phantom H-80 belongs to the Phantom H series, which uses conventional double-magnet motor technology and a single soft dome tweeter without a ribbon element, in an open-back enclosure requiring a suitable wall cavity volume. The S-80 is the better match for installations requiring the Hybrid Tweeter's wide dispersion and ribbon-element high-frequency extension, while the H-80 is suited to installations prioritising maximum bass output from a conventional open-back design.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dali","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46846414749948,"sku":null,"price":3500.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0116\/1773\/0617\/files\/DaliPhantomS-80VinylSound2.webp?v=1737874013"},{"product_id":"dali-phantom-m675","title":"Dali Phantom M‑675 In‑Wall Speaker (Each)","description":"\u003ch1\u003eDALI Phantom M-675 In-Wall Speaker at Vinyl Sound Toronto Canada\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Phantom M-675 is the flagship model of DALI's Phantom M in-wall speaker series, engineered in Hobro, Denmark and available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada.

At 90 dB sensitivity and a recommended amplifier power of 40 to 300 watts, the M-675 is designed for high-end home cinema installations and custom Hi-Fi stereo setups in larger rooms where extended bass response and genuine dynamic authority are required. Its fully closed self-contained cabinet requires no separate back box, making it ready to mount out of the box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eEight In-House Drive Units: Dual Active Woofers and Four Passive Radiators\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe M-675's bass system is the most substantial in the Phantom M series. Two 7-inch active wood fibre woofers feature upgraded rubber surrounds and new voice coils compared to the smaller M-375, both engineered for improved low-frequency response and higher power handling. Supporting them are four 7-inch passive radiators with custom paper and wood fibre cone membranes specifically developed for greater stiffness, lower colouration, and more uniform pistonic behaviour. Passive radiators respond to the internal cabinet pressure generated by the active woofers, acting as mechanically tuned bass extensions that add output and extension without the port noise or non-linear behaviour of conventional reflex ports. The combination of two active drivers and four passive radiators within a single 100 mm deep cabinet produces the bass authority and dynamic headroom of a much larger conventional enclosure, enabling the M-675 to fill larger rooms convincingly and to handle demanding home cinema low-frequency content at high output levels. All eight driver units are assembled entirely in-house at DALI's production facilities in Denmark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePure SMC Magnet System for Near Distortion-Free Sound\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach active woofer in the M-675 uses a 38 mm voice coil wrapped around a pure SMC (Soft Magnetic Composite) pole piece, the same advanced motor configuration as the Phantom M-375. Pure SMC places the distortion-reducing material throughout the entire magnetic working zone of the voice coil, minimising both magnetic hysteresis and eddy currents across the full excursion range of the driver. The practical result is a near distortion-free bass and midrange presentation with crystal-clear separation of musical details even at elevated playback levels. The SMC system also produces a smooth and consistent impedance characteristic, making the M-675 an easy and stable load for a wide range of custom install amplifiers and AV receivers at its 4-ohm nominal impedance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHybrid Tweeter Module: Rotatable for Centre Channel Installation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe M-675's high-frequency section uses DALI's trademark Hybrid Tweeter module, pairing a 28 mm in-house soft dome tweeter with a 17 x 45 mm planar ribbon tweeter element. The soft dome handles the lower treble frequencies from the 2,800 Hz crossover point with broad bandwidth and seamless integration into the upper midrange, while the ribbon element is configured to take over at 15,000 Hz, adding the superior horizontal dispersion and ultra-high-frequency extension that define DALI's audiophile speaker sound. The crossover network runs at three frequencies, 1,000 Hz, 2,800 Hz, and 15,000 Hz, allowing each of the M-675's driver sections to operate within its optimal bandwidth for coherent, natural performance across the full frequency range. The complete hybrid tweeter module can be rotated for correct horizontal dispersion orientation when the speaker is installed in landscape position as a centre channel below or above a screen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFully Closed Cabinet with Integrated Back Box\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA key installation advantage of the M-675 over the larger Phantom S series is its fully closed, self-contained cabinet. The glass-reinforced ABS enclosure is a complete acoustic system with no dependence on wall cavity conditions behind the installation point. This eliminates the need for a separate custom back box and means the M-675 is literally ready to mount out of the box as soon as the wall opening is prepared. Six spring-loaded dogleg clamps secure the speaker firmly against the wall surface without rattle or movement. The front baffle and surround are matte-black lacquered to prevent light reflection in dark projection environments, while the slim-bezel magnetic front grille is fully paintable for invisible integration into any wall colour. An optional on-wall frame is also available separately, allowing the M-675 to be surface-mounted on concrete, masonry, or other walls where in-wall installation is not practical, a capability DALI describes as quite unique in the custom install market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEight In-House Drive Units:\u003c\/strong\u003e Two active 7-inch wood fibre woofers with upgraded rubber surrounds and new voice coils, plus four 7-inch passive radiators with custom stiffened paper and wood fibre cones.

Unveiled at CEDIA 2022, it is a two-and-a-half-way custom installation speaker featuring eight in-house drive units: two active 7-inch wood fibre woofers with pure SMC magnet systems, four 7-inch passive radiators, and a Hybrid Tweeter module combining a 28 mm soft dome with a 17 x 45 mm planar ribbon tweeter. Its frequency range extends from 25 Hz to 49,000 Hz with 90 dB sensitivity and 110 dB maximum SPL from a 100 mm mounting depth. The M-675 is sold individually and designed for high-end home cinema and custom stereo installations in larger rooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the DALI Phantom M-675 compare to the Phantom M-375 and Phantom S-180?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe M-675 sits above the M-375 and below the Phantom S-180 in DALI's custom installation range. Compared to the M-375, the M-675 doubles the active woofer count from one to two 7-inch drivers and increases the passive radiator count from two to four, substantially increasing bass output, extension, and dynamic headroom. The M-675 also extends lower to 25 Hz versus 57 Hz for the M-375. Both share the same pure SMC pole piece magnet system and Hybrid Tweeter module. Compared to the Phantom S-180, the M-675 has a slimmer overall profile and requires no separate back box, making it easier to install in tighter spaces or adjacent to large televisions, while the S-180 uses an 8-inch EPICON-derived SMC woofer and a 10-inch carbon fibre passive radiator from the DALI SUB P-10 DSS subwoofer for a different bass character and deeper overall extension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the DALI Phantom M-675 be used as a centre channel speaker?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the DALI Phantom M-675 is designed to function as a centre channel speaker in high-end multi-channel home cinema installations. Its Hybrid Tweeter module can be rotated for correct horizontal dispersion when the speaker is installed in landscape orientation below or above a screen. The M-675's three-way crossover and wide dispersion engineering maintain consistent tonal balance from the horizontal listening position. Reviewers from Majik House noted that the M-675 was chosen as the centre channel speaker in a high-performance 5.1 home cinema installation paired with Phantom S-280 main speakers, with the resulting soundstage described as seamless, immersive, and free from any sense of speaker location.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the DALI Phantom M-675 need a separate back box during installation?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The Phantom M-675 uses a fully closed, self-contained glass-reinforced ABS cabinet with an integrated back box. This means the speaker's acoustic performance is completely controlled by its own enclosure and does not depend on the wall cavity behind the installation point. It can be installed directly into any standard wall opening matching the cut-out dimensions without any additional carpentry or back box preparation. This is a significant practical advantage over speakers that require a custom back box to be built into the wall in advance, and it makes the M-675 one of the most straightforward speakers in its performance class to install.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the DALI Phantom M-675 in Toronto or Canada?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Phantom M-675 is available at Vinyl Sound, an authorised DALI dealer in Toronto, Canada. Vinyl Sound carries the complete DALI Phantom M and S series and can assist with system design, multi-channel layout planning, amplifier matching, and installation consultation for custom home cinema and hi-fi projects. Purchasing from an authorised Canadian dealer ensures full DALI manufacturer warranty coverage and access to experienced local support throughout the project.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat amplifier power does the DALI Phantom M-675 require?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Phantom M-675 is rated for 40 to 300 watts at a 4-ohm nominal impedance. Its 90 dB sensitivity means it reaches high listening levels from relatively modest power, but a stable current delivery into 4 ohms is important for controlling its dual active woofers accurately at higher listening levels. Multi-channel power amplifiers and AV receivers with 4-ohm rated outputs from brands such as Anthem, Arcam, Rotel, and NAD are well matched. For the most demanding large-room installations, high-current power amplifiers rated from 150 to 300 watts per channel provide the dynamic headroom to exploit the M-675's full output capability from its dual woofer and quad passive radiator bass system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the DALI Phantom M-675 also be mounted on a wall surface rather than in-wall?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. An optional on-wall frame is available for the Phantom M-675, allowing it to be surface-mounted on walls where in-wall installation is not practical, such as concrete or masonry construction. DALI describes this surface-mounting option as quite unique in the custom installation market at this performance level. The on-wall frame holds the M-675 flush against the wall surface, maintaining the speaker's slim profile and discreet appearance while avoiding the need to cut into the wall substrate. The magnetic paintable front grille remains fully functional in either mounting configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dali","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46846414782716,"sku":null,"price":4000.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0116\/1773\/0617\/files\/DaliPhantomM-675VinylSound2.webp?v=1737874918"},{"product_id":"dali-phantom-m375","title":"Dali Phantom M‑375 In‑Wall Speaker (Pair)","description":"\u003ch1\u003eDALI Phantom M-375 In-Wall Speakers at Vinyl Sound Toronto Canada\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Phantom M-375 is a slim, powerful in-wall speaker from DALI (Hobro, Denmark), available as a pair at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada.

Covering a frequency range of 57 Hz to 25,000 Hz at 89 dB sensitivity, the M-375 is designed and engineered entirely at DALI's Danish production facility and brings many of the core qualities of the reference Phantom S series to a more compact installation footprint. Developed primarily for multi-channel home cinema as a front, centre, or surround speaker, it performs with equal commitment in two-channel stereo configurations and is sold as a pair for stereo or matched front channel use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHybrid Tweeter Module: Ribbon Precision Meets Dome Dynamics\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe M-375's defining upgrade over the Phantom M-250 is the inclusion of DALI's trademark Hybrid Tweeter module, a technology shared with the reference Phantom S series and DALI's premium floorstanding speaker range. A 28 mm soft dome tweeter manufactured in-house from an ultra-lightweight woven fabric diaphragm, weighing less than half the material used in most competing soft dome tweeters at 0.060 mg per mm², is paired with a planar ribbon tweeter element. The soft dome handles the lower treble region with wide bandwidth and seamless integration into the upper midrange, while the ribbon element takes over at higher frequencies where it excels at horizontal distribution of high-frequency energy. Together they produce an open, detailed, and spacious top end that is characteristic of DALI's audiophile speaker heritage, and that outperforms a conventional single soft dome tweeter in both resolution and listening area coverage. When the M-375 is installed horizontally as a centre channel, the hybrid tweeter module can be unscrewed and rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise to keep the ribbon element in its optimal vertical orientation for correct horizontal dispersion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e7-inch Active Woofer and Dual Passive Radiators with SMC Magnet System\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe M-375's bass system consists of a single active 7-inch wood fibre woofer working in combination with two 7-inch passive radiators, all using flat cone geometry to maximise the available internal acoustic volume within the 100 mm cabinet depth. The active woofer is optimised for long excursion, with the passive radiators tuned to respond to internal cabinet pressure and augment bass output in a manner that extends the low-frequency performance beyond what the active driver alone could achieve in this enclosure size. The active woofer's magnet motor system uses a 38 mm voice coil wound around a pure SMC (Soft Magnetic Composite) pole piece, an upgrade from the composite iron-SMC configuration in the M-250. A pure SMC pole piece places the distortion-reducing material throughout the entire magnetic working zone of the voice coil, resulting in a more significant reduction in hysteresis and eddy current distortion compared to a composite arrangement. The measured result is distortion below 1 percent from 60 Hz upward, with a well-balanced frequency response and an impedance curve that never dips below 5 ohms, making the M-375 an easy and amplifier-friendly load.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eGlass-Reinforced ABS Cabinet with Matte-Black Front Baffle\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Phantom M-375 shares its cabinet housing with the Phantom M-250, both manufactured from glass-reinforced ABS material to achieve the maximum possible internal volume within the 100 mm mounting depth. Glass-reinforced ABS provides the structural rigidity needed to control cabinet panel resonance at this wall thickness while keeping weight practical for installation. Twin bass ports release pressure from the compact enclosure, giving the M-375 a vented tuning that extends bass output and produces a spacious, room-filling character. The front baffle and surrounding rim are finished in matte-black lacquer, eliminating the light reflection that can be disruptive in dark home cinema projection environments. The slim-bezel magnetic front grille is fully paintable to match any wall colour for a completely discreet installation. Since the M-375 shares the exact same cabinet dimensions and cut-out requirements as the M-250, installers working on multi-channel systems can plan and cut all openings in advance, then decide at a later stage which model to install in each position without reopening walls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHybrid Tweeter Module:\u003c\/strong\u003e Combines a 28 mm in-house soft dome tweeter with a planar ribbon element.

It is a multi-channel custom installation speaker featuring a 7-inch active wood fibre woofer, two 7-inch passive radiators with flat cone geometry, and DALI's Hybrid Tweeter module combining a planar ribbon element with an in-house 28 mm soft dome tweeter. Covering 57 Hz to 25,000 Hz at 89 dB sensitivity from a 100 mm mounting depth, it is sold as a pair and designed primarily for multi-channel home cinema use as a front, centre, or surround speaker, while also performing in two-channel stereo applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the DALI Phantom M-375 compare to the DALI Phantom M-250 and Phantom S-180?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Phantom M-375 sits above the M-250 and below the Phantom S-180 in DALI's custom installation hierarchy. Compared to the M-250, the M-375 adds the Hybrid Tweeter module with its planar ribbon element, upgrades from a composite iron-SMC pole piece to a pure SMC pole piece, and replaces the M-250's twin active woofers with a single active 7-inch woofer plus two passive radiators for a different bass loading approach. Independent measurement by Alpha Audio confirmed distortion below 1 percent from 60 Hz and an impedance curve that stays above 5 ohms, confirming the M-375 as a particularly easy amplifier load. Compared to the Phantom S-180, the M-375 has a smaller footprint, uses only one active woofer rather than a dedicated 8-inch SMC woofer, and does not include the SUB P-10 DSS-derived 10-inch carbon fibre passive radiator, resulting in less deep bass extension from 57 Hz versus 25 Hz for the S-180.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the DALI Phantom M-375 be used as a centre channel speaker?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the DALI Phantom M-375 is well suited to centre channel use and is one of DALI's recommended choices for this position in a Phantom M multi-channel system. The Hybrid Tweeter module is designed to be unscrewed from its default vertical orientation and rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise when the speaker is installed horizontally as a centre channel. This keeps the ribbon tweeter element in its optimal vertical position for correct horizontal high-frequency dispersion, ensuring consistent tonal balance across the full listening width of the room when the speaker is mounted in a landscape orientation below or above a screen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between the pure SMC pole piece in the M-375 and the composite iron-SMC pole piece in the M-250?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth the M-375 and M-250 use DALI's patented SMC (Soft Magnetic Composite) magnet motor technology, but the M-375 uses a pure SMC pole piece while the M-250 uses a hybrid iron and SMC composite configuration. A pure SMC pole piece places the distortion-reducing material throughout the entire magnetic working zone of the voice coil, rather than only in part of it. This results in a more complete reduction of magnetic hysteresis and eddy current distortion across the full voice coil excursion range, producing tighter bass control, better micro-detail retrieval, and more accurate transient response compared to the composite arrangement. The M-375 also uses a larger 38 mm voice coil compared to the M-250's 25 mm coil, providing greater motor force and dynamic headroom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the DALI Phantom M-375 in Toronto or Canada?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Phantom M-375 is available as a pair at Vinyl Sound, an authorised DALI dealer in Toronto, Canada. Vinyl Sound carries the full DALI Phantom M and S series and can assist with multi-channel system design, cut-out planning, amplifier matching, and installation consultation. Purchasing from an authorised Canadian dealer ensures full DALI manufacturer warranty coverage and access to experienced local guidance throughout the installation process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat amplifier or AV receiver is recommended for the DALI Phantom M-375?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Phantom M-375 is rated for 30 to 180 watts at a 6-ohm nominal impedance, with a measured impedance that stays above 5 ohms throughout the frequency range. This makes it compatible with a wide range of AV receivers and custom install amplifier systems. Its 89 dB sensitivity and easy impedance characteristic mean it reaches high listening levels from modest amplifier power, with independent measurement noting it can theoretically be driven by tube amplifiers given the benign impedance curve. AV receivers from brands such as Arcam, Yamaha, Denon, and Anthem with 6-ohm rated outputs are well matched. For multi-channel home cinema use, dedicated multi-channel power amplifiers from brands such as NAD, Rotel, or Emotiva deliver the clean, stable power that brings out the best in the M-375's Hybrid Tweeter and passive radiator bass system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the DALI Phantom M-375 require a subwoofer?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor multi-channel home cinema use, a dedicated subwoofer is strongly recommended to complement the Phantom M-375. Its frequency range begins at 57 Hz, which is sufficient for dialogue, music, and most mid-range cinematic content, but does not extend to the sub-60 Hz bass frequencies present in film soundtracks and bass-heavy music. In a typical multi-channel home cinema system, the AV processor or receiver handles bass management by redirecting low-frequency content to the subwoofer, allowing the M-375 to operate within its optimal bandwidth. For stereo music listening in medium-sized rooms, the M-375 can operate without a subwoofer for most musical genres, though pairing with a DALI subwoofer adds full-range performance for bass-intensive content.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dali","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46846414815484,"sku":null,"price":2300.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0116\/1773\/0617\/files\/DaliPhantomM-250VinylSound2.webp?v=1737875335"},{"product_id":"dali-phantom-m250","title":"Dali Phantom M‑250 In‑Wall Speaker (Each)","description":"\u003ch1\u003eDALI Phantom M-250 In-Wall Speaker at Vinyl Sound Toronto Canada\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Phantom M-250 is a slim, multi-channel in-wall speaker from DALI (Hobro, Denmark), available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada.

Developed specifically with multi-channel home cinema in mind, the M-250 is equally suited as a front, centre, or surround speaker, while performing with equal commitment in two-channel stereo configurations. The Phantom M series shares its core engineering principles with the reference Phantom S series, offering accessible entry into DALI's custom installation ecosystem without compromising on DALI's long-standing sound design standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDual 5.25-inch Wood Fibre Woofers with SMC Magnet Technology\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Phantom M-250 uses two 5.25-inch woofers, each with a wood fibre cone constructed with a deliberately flat cone geometry. This flat profile serves a specific engineering purpose: by reducing the cone's rearward projection into the cabinet, it maximises the available internal volume within the 100 mm depth constraint, giving the bass drivers more acoustic space to operate correctly. All individual components of the M-250 woofer assemblies are built in-house at DALI's Danish factory, with the bass driver optimised for long excursion and the midrange driver tuned for the widest possible usable frequency range before crossover. Each woofer features a 25 mm voice coil wound around an iron and SMC composite pole piece. The SMC (Soft Magnetic Composite) material dramatically reduces magnetic hysteresis and eddy currents within the motor, leading to a significant reduction in third-order harmonic distortion, tighter bass control, improved micro-detail retrieval, and superior transient response compared to conventional driver designs at this price level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOversized 28 mm In-House Soft Dome Tweeter\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Phantom M-250's tweeter is manufactured in-house at DALI using an ultra-lightweight woven fabric diaphragm that weighs less than half the material used in most competing soft dome tweeters, at just 0.060 mg per mm². The relatively large 28 mm dome diameter is intentional: a larger diaphragm generates higher sound pressure levels with less physical excursion, keeping voice coil motion to a minimum and reducing distortion at elevated listening volumes. The tweeter is additionally tuned for a wider bandwidth in its lower frequency region, ensuring a smooth, coherent, and natural handover from the woofers at the 2,700 Hz crossover point. The result is an upper midrange that is balanced and unforced, with excellent integration between the woofer and tweeter sections throughout the listening range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eGlass-Reinforced ABS Cabinet with Twin Bass Ports\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Phantom M-250 shares its cabinet enclosure with the Phantom M-375, both built from glass-reinforced ABS rather than the MDF used in the reference Phantom S series. Glass-reinforced ABS provides a high strength-to-weight ratio and structural rigidity suited to the M cabinet's compact dimensions, enabling maximum internal volume to be achieved within the 100 mm mounting depth. Two bass ports release the pressure built up in the compact cabinet, producing a vented enclosure tuning that extends low-frequency output and gives the M-250 a more spacious, room-filling character than a sealed enclosure of equivalent size would allow. The front baffle and surround rim are finished in matte black lacquer, which prevents light reflection in darkened home cinema environments. The magnetic grille is slim in bezel width for a minimal visual footprint and is fully paintable for invisible wall integration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWide Dispersion and Multi-Channel Versatility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDALI's wide dispersion design principle, central to every speaker in the Phantom range, is particularly well suited to the flush-wall mounting position of the M-250. Because the listener's angle relative to the speaker changes continuously in a home cinema or open living space, wide dispersion ensures that the tonal balance remains consistent across a broad horizontal listening arc rather than narrowing to a single on-axis sweet spot. The M-250's driver layout and crossover are engineered to support this principle across the full operating range, making it an adaptable and room-friendly speaker regardless of where it is positioned in a multi-channel system. Its placement flexibility as front, centre, or surround speaker makes it a practical foundation for a coherent full-room DALI Phantom installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo 5.25-inch Wood Fibre Woofers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Flat-cone geometry maximises internal cabinet volume within the 100 mm depth constraint.

It is a two-way vented enclosure featuring two 5.25-inch wood fibre woofers with SMC composite magnet systems and a 28 mm oversized in-house soft dome tweeter, housed in a glass-reinforced ABS cabinet with a 100 mm mounting depth. Covering a frequency range of 58 Hz to 24,000 Hz, it is designed primarily for multi-channel home cinema installation as a front, centre, or surround speaker, and is equally capable in two-channel stereo use. It is sold individually and manufactured entirely at DALI's own production facility in Denmark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the DALI Phantom M-250 compare to the DALI Phantom S-180 and Phantom S-80?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Phantom M-250 is positioned below the Phantom S series in DALI's custom installation hierarchy, offering a more compact footprint and more accessible price point while sharing the same core engineering philosophy. The key differences are that the Phantom S-80 and S-180 use the full EPICON-derived SMC magnet system in a single 8-inch woofer with a 10-inch carbon fibre passive radiator for significantly deeper bass extension, reaching down to 25 Hz, compared to the M-250's 58 Hz lower limit. The S series also uses the Hybrid Tweeter module combining a soft dome with a planar ribbon element, while the M-250 uses the in-house soft dome alone. The M-250 is the practical choice when the S series' larger cut-out dimensions cannot be accommodated, or when budget constraints favour the M series without sacrificing DALI's fundamental sound design principles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the DALI Phantom M-250 be used without a subwoofer?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Phantom M-250 can be used without a subwoofer in smaller rooms or for moderate listening levels, but its frequency range begins at 58 Hz, which means it does not reproduce the deep bass content present in film soundtracks and bass-heavy music. For home cinema applications and larger rooms, pairing the M-250 with a dedicated subwoofer such as a DALI SUB model is strongly recommended to achieve full-range performance. For background music and voice-centric content such as dialogue-heavy films and spoken-word programs, the M-250 performs capably on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the SMC composite magnet system in the Phantom M-250?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSMC stands for Soft Magnetic Composite, a patented DALI magnet motor material applied in the Phantom M-250's woofer voice coil assemblies through an iron and SMC composite pole piece. The SMC material combines high magnetic permeability with low electrical conductivity. In a driver motor system, this combination reduces two primary sources of non-linear distortion: magnetic hysteresis, which causes the magnetic field to lag behind the audio signal, and eddy currents, which create opposing electromagnetic forces within the motor. Reducing both mechanisms leads to a significant drop in third-order harmonic distortion, producing tighter bass, better micro-detail resolution, and more accurate transient response than conventional woofer motor designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the DALI Phantom M-250 in Toronto or Canada?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Phantom M-250 is available at Vinyl Sound, an authorised DALI dealer in Toronto, Canada. Vinyl Sound carries the complete DALI Phantom M and S series and can provide guidance on system configuration, cut-out planning, amplifier matching, and multi-channel layout design for custom installation projects. Purchasing from an authorised Canadian dealer ensures full DALI manufacturer warranty coverage and access to experienced local support throughout the installation process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat amplifier or AV receiver is recommended for the DALI Phantom M-250?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Phantom M-250 is rated for amplifier power between 30 and 180 watts at a 6-ohm nominal impedance. Its 89 dB sensitivity means it reaches comfortable home cinema listening levels from modest amplifier power, making it compatible with a wide range of AV receivers and custom install amplifier systems rated for 6-ohm loads. AV receivers from brands such as Denon, Yamaha, Anthem, and Arcam with per-channel outputs of 80 to 150 watts are well suited. For dedicated custom installation projects, multi-channel power amplifiers from brands such as Rotel or NAD provide stable and clean power delivery. The 30-watt lower recommended limit also means the M-250 works in lower-power distributed audio systems for background music applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow is the DALI Phantom M-250 installed, and what tools are included?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Phantom M-250 is installed by cutting a hole in the wall using the provided paper cut-out template, which marks the required 751 mm x 226 mm opening.

Building on the foundations of the well-established PHANTOM E-series, the K-80 represents a significant step forward with DALI's \u003cstrong\u003esignature wood fibre cone\u003c\/strong\u003e, making it the first DALI in-ceiling speaker to use this driver technology. It combines an off-axis 8-inch woofer with a \u003cstrong\u003ewishbone-mounted, tiltable 28mm soft dome tweeter\u003c\/strong\u003e, two onboard voicing switches, and a PTC driver protection circuit in a 261 mm cutout design that shares the same installation dimensions as the PHANTOM E-series. With a frequency range of \u003cstrong\u003e48 Hz to 25,000 Hz\u003c\/strong\u003e, a sensitivity of 87 dB, and a maximum SPL of 107 dB, the PHANTOM K-80 is suited to stereo listening, home cinema surround and height channels, and whole-home distributed audio in rooms of any size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWood Fibre Cone and Off-Axis Woofer: Hi-Fi Engineering for In-Ceiling Installation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PHANTOM K-80's 8-inch woofer uses DALI's signature wood fibre cone, a material shared with DALI's floorstanding and standmount hi-fi speaker ranges and appearing in an in-ceiling speaker for the first time with the K-series. The wood fibre material adds stiffness to the cone to control unwanted resonance while also providing non-uniform surface break-up characteristics that reduce coloration and distortion in the upper midrange, resulting in a cleaner, more natural reproduction of vocals and acoustic instruments. The woofer is mounted slightly off-axis within the ceiling chassis, which serves two acoustic purposes. First, the off-axis position reduces even-order coloration that arises when a symmetrically mounted driver fires directly perpendicular to its baffle, producing a more even frequency response. Second, it allows the 28mm tweeter to be positioned physically closer to the woofer on the baffle, which improves timing and phase coherence at the 3,300 Hz crossover point. The off-axis tilt also means the woofer is inherently aimed slightly toward the listening position rather than directly at the ceiling, improving on-axis response at the seat. The DALI low-loss magnet and rubber surround system provides long linear excursion for deep, controlled bass without compression or dynamic limiting at high output levels, making the K-80 capable of filling large living rooms from a single pair of ceiling-mounted speakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWishbone Tweeter, Voicing Switches, and PTC Protection: Installer and Listener Control\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PHANTOM K-80's 28mm soft dome tweeter is mounted in a solid aluminium wishbone bracket that can be tilted toward the listening position independently of the woofer, allowing high-frequency response to be optimised at the seat without changing the woofer alignment. The oversized 28mm diameter, compared to the 25mm tweeters typically found in competing in-ceiling speakers, lowers the tweeter's effective lower frequency limit and produces a more seamless handover from the woofer at 3,300 Hz with fewer dips in the critical midrange region. Tuned mass dampers on the tweeter bracket isolate the dome from vibrations transmitted through the enclosure structure, reducing distortion that would otherwise affect high-frequency clarity. Two voicing switches on the crossover board allow further customisation without tools. The Focus\/Distribute switch adjusts tweeter dispersion for listening positions within 25 degrees of the speaker axis (Focus) versus positions beyond 25 degrees where wider coverage is required (Distribute). The Normal\/HF+ switch adds 3 dB to the high-frequency output for installations where speakers are mounted far apart and high-frequency energy must travel a greater distance to reach the listening position.

It is the flagship of the PHANTOM K-series and the first DALI in-ceiling speaker to use the company's signature wood fibre cone driver technology. It features an off-axis 8-inch woofer, a wishbone-mounted tiltable 28mm soft dome tweeter, two onboard voicing switches (Focus\/Distribute and Normal\/HF+), and a PTC driver protection circuit, with a frequency range of 48 Hz to 25,000 Hz, a sensitivity of 87 dB, and a maximum SPL of 107 dB from a 261 mm cutout diameter and 111 mm mounting depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the DALI PHANTOM K-80 compare to the KEF Ci200RR-THX and Bowers and Wilkins CCM8.5 D3 in-ceiling speakers?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI PHANTOM K-80, KEF Ci200RR-THX, and Bowers and Wilkins CCM8.5 D3 are all premium 8-inch in-ceiling speakers designed for high-performance home cinema and whole-home audio applications. The KEF Ci200RR-THX uses a coincident Uni-Q driver for point-source imaging and carries THX Ultra2 certification. The Bowers and Wilkins CCM8.5 D3 uses a Continuum cone mid\/bass driver with a separate dome tweeter in a fixed circular configuration. The DALI PHANTOM K-80 differentiates itself through its off-axis woofer mounting, which improves frequency response evenness and timing, and its two onboard voicing switches for installer-adjustable sound customisation without external equalisation. The PHANTOM K-80 also uses the same 261 mm cutout as the PHANTOM E-series, making it a straightforward upgrade path for existing DALI E-series installations without ceiling modification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat do the voicing switches on the DALI PHANTOM K-80 do?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI PHANTOM K-80 has two independent voicing switches that allow installers to fine-tune the speaker's performance for specific room conditions and listening positions. The Focus\/Distribute switch adjusts tweeter high-frequency dispersion. In Focus mode, the tweeter concentrates its output for listening positions within approximately 25 degrees of the speaker axis, providing the best possible on-axis performance at the primary seat. In Distribute mode, the tweeter disperses high frequencies more broadly for rooms where the listening position is further off-axis or where multiple listeners are spread across the room. The Normal\/HF+ switch adds 3 dB of high-frequency output in the HF+ position, which compensates for high-frequency energy loss over distance when speakers are mounted far apart in large rooms or open-plan spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the DALI PHANTOM K-80 be installed in a bathroom or damp environment?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, with the optional PHANTOM K-80 back-can accessory, the K-80 can be installed in bathrooms and other damp environments. The woofer cone is surface-treated for moisture resistance as a standard specification. The back-can, designed to retrofit through the same 261 mm cutout as the speaker itself, provides physical protection from moisture and humidity above the ceiling while also tuning the rear acoustic environment for punchier upper bass, which DALI notes is particularly beneficial in bathrooms and hallways where the acoustic environment tends to be more reverberant than typical living spaces. The PTC thermal protection circuit also provides an additional layer of driver safety in bathroom installations where ambient temperature and humidity can affect amplifier behaviour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the DALI PHANTOM K-80 use the same cutout as the PHANTOM E-series?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the DALI PHANTOM K-80 uses the same 261 mm cutout diameter as the PHANTOM E-series speakers. This makes the K-80 a direct upgrade option for any existing PHANTOM E-series installation without requiring new ceiling cutouts or modification of the existing opening. The K-80 also shares grille compatibility with the PHANTOM E-series, so the same square optional grille accessories are interchangeable between both series. For installers and homeowners looking to upgrade an existing PHANTOM E-series system to the improved wood fibre cone and adjustable tweeter technology of the K-series, the identical cutout dimension is a significant practical advantage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the DALI PHANTOM K-80 in Toronto or Canada?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI PHANTOM K-80 is available in Toronto and across Canada at Vinyl Sound, an authorised DALI dealer. Vinyl Sound can advise on installation requirements, backbox and back-can accessories, amplifier selection, and integration with other PHANTOM series speakers for complete home cinema or distributed audio systems. Purchasing from an authorised dealer ensures full DALI manufacturer warranty coverage (60 months) and professional installation guidance throughout Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat amplifier works best with the DALI PHANTOM K-80?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDALI recommends amplifier power of 50 to 200 watts per channel for the PHANTOM K-80 at its 6-ohm nominal impedance. Its 87 dB sensitivity makes it easy to drive from a wide range of amplifiers, including quality AV receivers from Denon, Marantz, Yamaha, and Anthem as well as dedicated multichannel power amplifiers from Rotel, Cambridge Audio, and similar brands. For whole-home distributed audio systems, the PHANTOM CI AMP-4750 DSP provides four channels of high-power Class-D amplification with dedicated DSP presets for PHANTOM series speakers, and can be cascaded for larger multi-zone or multi-channel configurations. Vinyl Sound can recommend the appropriate amplifier solution for any PHANTOM K-80 installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the DALI PHANTOM K-80 suitable for Dolby Atmos height channels?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the DALI PHANTOM K-80 is well suited for Dolby Atmos and DTS:X overhead height channel applications in ceiling positions. Its 8-inch woofer delivers more bass output than the 6.5-inch PHANTOM K-60, making it a better choice for height channels in larger home cinema rooms where the greater distance from the listening position would otherwise reduce perceived output and bass weight. The tiltable tweeter and Focus\/Distribute voicing switch allow the speaker to be aimed and tuned for the specific height channel listening geometry, and its performance can be matched with other PHANTOM K-series or M-series speakers in the LCR and surround positions for tonal consistency across all channels.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dali","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46846414881020,"sku":null,"price":900.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0116\/1773\/0617\/files\/DaliPhantomK-80VinylSound2.webp?v=1737876361"},{"product_id":"dali-phantom-k60","title":"Dali Phantom K‑60 In‑Ceiling Speaker (Each)","description":"\u003ch1\u003eDALI PHANTOM K-60 In-Ceiling Speaker at Vinyl Sound Toronto Canada\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe PHANTOM K-60 is a 6.5-inch in-ceiling loudspeaker from DALI (Danish Audiophile Loudspeaker Industries, Allerød, Denmark), available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada. Building directly on the PHANTOM E-series and sharing the same design principles as the PHANTOM K-80, the K-60 brings DALI's \u003cstrong\u003esignature wood fibre cone driver technology\u003c\/strong\u003e to the smaller in-ceiling format for the first time. It combines an off-axis 6.5-inch woofer with a \u003cstrong\u003ewishbone-mounted, tiltable 28mm soft dome tweeter\u003c\/strong\u003e, two onboard voicing switches, and a dogleg clamp installation system in a 223 mm cutout compatible with standard residential ceiling construction. With a frequency range of \u003cstrong\u003e51 Hz to 25,000 Hz\u003c\/strong\u003e, a sensitivity of 87 dB, and a maximum SPL of 105 dB, the PHANTOM K-60 is recommended for front, centre, surround, and height channel positions in home cinema and whole-home distributed audio systems where a smaller driver footprint is preferred over the K-80.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWood Fibre Cone and Off-Axis Woofer: DALI Hi-Fi Technology in the Ceiling\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PHANTOM K-60's 6.5-inch woofer uses DALI's signature wood fibre cone, a driver diaphragm material used across DALI's hi-fi speaker ranges that makes its in-ceiling debut with the PHANTOM K-series. Wood fibre adds rigidity to a paper-based cone structure while providing non-uniform surface characteristics that break up standing wave resonances across the diaphragm, reducing coloration and distortion in the upper midrange where vocals and acoustic instruments are reproduced. This produces the high-resolution midrange detail and precise, coherent bass that distinguish the K-60 from conventional polypropylene-cone in-ceiling speakers. The woofer is mounted slightly off-axis within the ceiling chassis, which reduces even-order coloration from symmetrical driver placement, allows the 28mm tweeter to be positioned closer to the woofer for improved timing and phase at the 3,000 Hz crossover, and directs the driver output slightly toward the listening position rather than perpendicular to the ceiling. A large magnet system with a long-excursion, low-loss rubber surround and optimised pole geometry delivers deep, articulated bass beyond what the 6.5-inch driver size would typically suggest, while a deliberate slight reduction in upper midrange prominence gives the K-60 a larger, rounder character that suits the acoustic demands of in-ceiling installation in real living spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTiltable Tweeter, Voicing Switches, and Back-Can Flexibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PHANTOM K-60's 28mm oversized soft dome tweeter is mounted in a solid aluminium wishbone bracket with tuned mass dampers that isolate the dome from vibrations conducted through the chassis. The wishbone bracket allows the tweeter to be tilted toward the listening position independent of the woofer, enabling fine optimisation of high-frequency delivery at the primary seat. The tweeter's oversized diameter lowers its effective lower bandwidth and produces a smoother, dip-free transition from the woofer at 3,000 Hz across the critical midrange. Two onboard switches provide further installer control without external equalisation equipment. The Normal\/Mid+ switch adds presence to the midrange for rooms where upper-midrange clarity needs reinforcement. The Normal\/HF+ switch adds 3 dB to the high-frequency output for large-separation installations where HF energy must travel further to maintain clarity at the listening position. For installations where a dedicated backbox cannot be fitted, the optional PHANTOM K-60 back-can retrofits through the same 223 mm cutout, providing a controlled rear acoustic environment with tuned upper bass emphasis suited to bathrooms and hallways. The woofer cone is surface-treated for moisture resistance in damp locations. A recommended rear volume range of 5 to 50 litres, with an optimum of 15 litres, makes the K-60 flexible for use with the optional backbox across a wide range of ceiling cavity depths.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e6.5-Inch Wood Fibre Cone Woofer:\u003c\/strong\u003e DALI's signature wood

Part of the PHANTOM K-series that builds on the PHANTOM E-series with upgraded wood fibre cone driver technology, the K-60 features an off-axis 6.5-inch wood fibre woofer, a wishbone-mounted tiltable 28mm soft dome tweeter, two onboard voicing switches (Normal\/Mid+ and Normal\/HF+), and a 223 mm cutout dimension. With a frequency range of 51 Hz to 25,000 Hz, a sensitivity of 87 dB, and a maximum SPL of 105 dB, it is suitable for front, centre, surround, and height channel roles in home cinema systems and whole-home distributed audio installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between the DALI PHANTOM K-60 and the PHANTOM K-80?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI PHANTOM K-60 and K-80 share the same core design architecture including off-axis wood fibre woofer, wishbone-mounted tiltable tweeter, voicing switches, and back-can accessory compatibility, but differ in driver size and output capability. The K-60 uses a 6.5-inch woofer in a 223 mm cutout with a frequency range of 51 Hz to 25,000 Hz and a maximum SPL of 105 dB, while the K-80 uses an 8-inch woofer in a larger 261 mm cutout with deeper extension to 48 Hz and a maximum SPL of 107 dB. The K-60 is better suited to smaller rooms, tighter ceiling spaces, and installations where the cutout size is limited, while the K-80 delivers greater bass output and higher SPL for larger rooms and more demanding home cinema applications. Both share the E-series cutout compatibility with their respective size classes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat do the voicing switches on the DALI PHANTOM K-60 do?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI PHANTOM K-60 has two independent voicing switches. The Normal\/Mid+ switch adds upper midrange presence in the Mid+ position, which improves dialogue clarity and vocal definition in rooms where the acoustic environment absorbs or softens the upper midrange frequencies. The Normal\/HF+ switch adds 3 dB of high-frequency output in the HF+ position for installations where the speakers are mounted far apart and high-frequency energy must travel a greater distance to reach the listening position with adequate clarity and presence. Both switches operate independently and can be used individually or together depending on the installation requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the DALI PHANTOM K-60 be used in a bathroom or wet environment?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the DALI PHANTOM K-60 can be installed in bathrooms and other damp environments when used with the optional K-60 back-can accessory. The woofer cone is surface-treated for moisture resistance as standard, and the back-can provides physical protection for the driver and crossover from moisture and humidity above the ceiling. The back-can also tunes the rear acoustic environment for punchier upper bass, which is beneficial in bathrooms and hallways where more reverberant room acoustics can make bass sound diffuse. The back-can retrofits through the same 223 mm cutout as the speaker itself, making it suitable for both new installation and retrofit applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the recommended backbox volume for the DALI PHANTOM K-60?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDALI recommends a backbox volume of 5 to 50 litres for the PHANTOM K-60, with an optimum volume of 15 litres. This wide range gives installers significant flexibility across different ceiling cavity depths and construction types. At the optimum 15 litres, the K-60 delivers its best balance of bass extension and upper bass definition. Smaller volumes tend to produce slightly tighter, leaner bass, while larger volumes within the recommended range provide more bass weight. When a backbox cannot be installed, the optional K-60 back-can provides a compact controlled volume as a retrofit alternative.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the DALI PHANTOM K-60 use the same cutout as the PHANTOM E-60?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the DALI PHANTOM K-60 uses the same 223 mm cutout diameter as the PHANTOM E-60 in-ceiling speaker, making it a direct upgrade path for existing E-60 installations without any ceiling modification. The grille design is also compatible between the K-series and E-series, so optional square or decorative grilles from either series can be interchanged. This compatibility is a practical advantage for installers and homeowners looking to upgrade an existing PHANTOM E-series system to the improved wood fibre cone and adjustable tweeter technology of the K-series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the DALI PHANTOM K-60 in Toronto or Canada?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI PHANTOM K-60 is available in Toronto and across Canada at Vinyl Sound, an authorised DALI dealer. Vinyl Sound can provide guidance on installation requirements, backbox and back-can accessories, amplifier selection, and integration with PHANTOM K-series and M-series speakers for complete home cinema or distributed audio systems. Purchasing from an authorised dealer ensures the full DALI 60-month manufacturer warranty and professional installation support throughout Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the DALI PHANTOM K-60 suitable for Dolby Atmos height channels?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the DALI PHANTOM K-60 is suitable for Dolby Atmos and DTS:X overhead height channel applications. Its tiltable tweeter and Normal\/HF+ voicing switch allow it to be optimised for the specific height channel listening geometry, where the listening position is typically further off-axis from a ceiling-mounted speaker than from a wall-mounted surround. For height channels in smaller rooms or where ceiling cavity depth is limited, the K-60's 102 mm mounting depth and 223 mm cutout make it easier to fit in confined ceiling spaces than the larger K-80. Vinyl Sound can recommend whether the K-60 or K-80 is better suited to the height channel requirements of a specific room and home cinema system.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dali","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46846414913788,"sku":null,"price":800.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0116\/1773\/0617\/files\/DaliPhantomK-60VinylSound2.webp?v=1737876966"},{"product_id":"dali-phantom-k60lp","title":"Dali Phantom K‑60 LP In‑Ceiling Speaker (Each)","description":"\u003ch1\u003eDALI Phantom K-60 LP In-Ceiling Speaker at Vinyl Sound Toronto Canada\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Phantom K-60 LP is an ultra-shallow in-ceiling speaker from DALI (Struer, Denmark), available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada.

DALI's engineers repositioned the voice-coil and magnet system inside the cone rather than beneath it, and attached the spider directly to the membrane instead of the voice-coil former. The result is the K-60 LP's ultra-flat 6-inch anodised aluminium cone bass driver, which combines long-throw excursion with an exceptionally shallow profile. This allows the K-60 LP to deliver bass extension down to 52 Hz, a level of performance that comparable ultra-shallow competitors such as the Sonance C6R LP or Polk Audio 60-LS simply cannot match within the same depth envelope.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHigh-Frequency Performance and Adjustable Sound\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe K-60 LP's 25 mm soft woven fabric dome tweeter draws directly from DALI's traditional cabinet speaker lineage, paired with a powerful neodymium magnet for detailed and coherent high-frequency reproduction up to 26,000 Hz. A dedicated HF switch on the baffle allows users to boost treble output for listening positions at extreme off-axis angles, ensuring consistent sound dispersion throughout a room.

It covers a frequency range of 52 Hz to 26,000 Hz and handles up to 150 W of amplifier power, making it a Hi-Fi-grade architectural speaker sold individually at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the DALI Phantom K-60 LP compare to other ultra-shallow in-ceiling speakers?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Phantom K-60 LP outperforms most ultra-shallow competitors in bass extension and overall driver sophistication. Speakers such as the Sonance C6R LP and the Klipsch CDT-3650-C II offer shallow mounting but rely on conventional driver geometry that limits low-frequency reach. The K-60 LP's inverted magnet-and-voice-coil architecture achieves 52 Hz extension at just 36.5 mm depth, a combination that comparable products have not matched. Its neodymium tweeter and adjustable HF switch also provide a level of acoustic refinement not typically found at this form factor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the DALI Phantom K-60 LP be installed without a backbox?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the DALI Phantom K-60 LP does not require a backbox for installation. The K-60 LP is specifically engineered to perform without a rear enclosure, relying on its low-profile driver design and rigid ABS baffle to maintain acoustic integrity inside open ceiling cavities. This makes it one of the most convenient in-ceiling speakers to install in both new-build and retrofit projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is DALI's low-profile driver technology and how does it work?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDALI's low-profile driver technology repositions the voice-coil and magnet assembly inside the speaker cone rather than beneath it, and mounts the spider directly to the membrane rather than the voice-coil former. This inversion of conventional driver architecture dramatically reduces the depth required while preserving the long-throw excursion needed for meaningful bass output. The result is a 6-inch driver that behaves acoustically like a full-depth unit but fits within a 36.5 mm ceiling cavity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the DALI Phantom K-60 LP in Toronto or Canada?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Phantom K-60 LP is available at Vinyl Sound, an authorised DALI dealer located in Toronto, Canada. Vinyl Sound serves customers across the Greater Toronto Area and ships to customers throughout Canada. You can purchase the K-60 LP as a single unit through Vinyl Sound's online store or by visiting in person.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat amplifier or receiver should I pair with the DALI Phantom K-60 LP?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Phantom K-60 LP works with any amplifier or AV receiver rated between 40 W and 150 W into 8 ohms. Its 84 dB sensitivity means it is moderately efficient and performs well with mid-range AV receivers such as the Denon AVR-X series, Marantz SR series, or dedicated multi-zone amplifiers like the NAD CI 940 or Sonos Amp. For multi-room installations with several K-60 LP units per zone, a speaker selector with impedance protection is recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the DALI Phantom K-60 LP be used in both ceiling and wall installations?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the DALI Phantom K-60 LP supports both in-ceiling and in-wall installation. The speaker's circular baffle and 223 mm cut-out diameter are equally suitable for horizontal ceiling mounting and vertical wall placement. The HF adjustment switch and compass alignment markings on the baffle are particularly useful in wall installations to orient the tweeter toward the primary listening position for optimal stereo imaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Dali","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46846414946556,"sku":null,"price":800.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0116\/1773\/0617\/files\/DaliPhantomK-60LPVinylSound2.webp?v=1737877337"},{"product_id":"dali-phantom-e80","title":"Dali Phantom E‑80 In‑Ceiling Speaker (Each)","description":"\u003ch1\u003eDALI Phantom E-80 In-Ceiling Speaker at Vinyl Sound Toronto Canada\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Phantom E-80 is a high-performance in-ceiling loudspeaker from DALI (Struer, Denmark), available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada. Built around an \u003cstrong\u003e8-inch polypropylene cone woofer\u003c\/strong\u003e and a 25 mm soft dome tweeter mounted on an aeroplane-wing wishbone bracket, the Phantom E-80 delivers a frequency range of \u003cstrong\u003e49 Hz to 25,000 Hz\u003c\/strong\u003e with a maximum SPL of \u003cstrong\u003e107 dB\u003c\/strong\u003e. Equally capable as an in-ceiling or in-wall speaker, it is suited for use as the primary loudspeaker in a living room stereo setup or as part of a home cinema surround system, with onboard voicing switches allowing fine-tuned performance in acoustically challenging rooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e8-Inch Woofer and Low-Loss Driver Design\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Phantom E-80's 8-inch polypropylene cone woofer is engineered according to DALI's low-loss principles, meaning the driver is optimised to extract the maximum acoustic output from even modestly rated amplifiers. The cone is tilted and angled within the baffle to improve directionality and soundstaging, while the low-loss rubber surround contributes to natural, uncoloured midrange reproduction alongside deep bass extension reaching 49 Hz. Thick reinforced edges around the ABS baffle add structural rigidity and improve the security of the mounting, complementing the dogleg clamp system that secures the speaker in one straightforward front-access step.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCoaxial Tweeter Placement and Wide Dispersion\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Phantom E-80's 25 mm soft woven fabric dome tweeter is mounted over the woofer in a composite housing supported by an aeroplane-wing profile wishbone bracket. The off-centre positioning of the tweeter relative to the woofer eliminates the sound colouration typically associated with true coaxial drivers, allowing midrange and high frequencies to blend with precision and coherence at all listening volumes. Two onboard slide switches, Normal\/High+ and Normal\/Mid+, allow the off-axis frequency response to be tuned to suit the room, whether the speaker is used in a standard ceiling installation, a front channel position, or a surround role. DALI's wide-dispersion design philosophy ensures a generous sweet spot across the listening area rather than focusing sound in a narrow beam.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePPTC Crossover Protection\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Phantom E-80 crossover includes a PPTC (Polymeric Positive Temperature Coefficient) safety device, a resettable fuse that protects the driver components from overheating during extended high-volume playback.

It delivers a maximum SPL of 107 dB, handles 30 to 150 W of amplifier power at 6 ohms, and is sold individually at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada. It is designed for in-ceiling and in-wall installations in stereo, home cinema, and multi-room audio systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the DALI Phantom E-80 compare to other 8-inch in-ceiling speakers?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Phantom E-80 stands apart from comparable 8-inch in-ceiling speakers through its wishbone-mounted off-centre tweeter, PPTC crossover protection, and dual voicing switches. Competing models such as the Klipsch CDT-5800-C II and the Polk Audio RC80i use more conventional coaxial or near-coaxial driver arrangements that can introduce more high-frequency colouration. The Sonance C8R TL and Bowers and Wilkins CCM683 occupy a similar performance tier, but neither includes onboard resettable fuse protection or DALI's wide-dispersion driver tuning. At 89.5 dB sensitivity, the Phantom E-80 is also easier to drive to room-filling levels than many similarly sized competitors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the DALI Phantom E-80 be used as the main speaker in a living room stereo system?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the DALI Phantom E-80 is explicitly designed to function as the primary loudspeaker in a living room stereo setup. Its 8-inch woofer with 49 Hz low-frequency extension, 107 dB maximum SPL, and wide-dispersion driver design give it the dynamic range and room-filling capability required for full stereo music reproduction. Paired with a quality stereo integrated amplifier or AV receiver rated between 30 W and 150 W into 6 ohms, a pair of Phantom E-80 units can serve as a complete primary listening system without supplementary subwoofers in most medium to large rooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the PPTC safety device in the Phantom E-80 crossover?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA PPTC, or Polymeric Positive Temperature Coefficient device, is a resettable fuse built into the DALI Phantom E-80 crossover. When the speaker is driven at very high volumes for an extended period, the PPTC device increases its electrical resistance as it heats up, limiting the current reaching the driver and preventing thermal damage. Once the speaker cools down, the PPTC automatically resets and the speaker returns to normal operation. This eliminates the need for manually replaceable fuses and protects the woofer and tweeter from damage during sustained high-volume use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat do the Normal\/High+ and Normal\/Mid+ switches do on the DALI Phantom E-80?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Normal\/High+ and Normal\/Mid+ slide switches on the DALI Phantom E-80 allow independent adjustment of the high-frequency and midrange output levels from the default flat response. Activating High+ boosts treble output, compensating for acoustic absorption in rooms with soft furnishings or for listeners positioned at off-axis angles from the speaker. Activating Mid+ increases midrange presence, which can improve vocal clarity and instrument definition in larger rooms or open-plan spaces. Both switches can be used independently or together depending on the room's acoustic characteristics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the DALI Phantom E-80 in Toronto or Canada?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Phantom E-80 is available at Vinyl Sound, an authorised DALI dealer in Toronto, Canada. Vinyl Sound serves customers across the Greater Toronto Area and ships to customers throughout Canada. The Phantom E-80 is sold as a single unit, so customers can purchase the exact quantity needed for their installation, whether for a stereo pair, a home cinema surround configuration, or a multi-room distributed audio system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the DALI Phantom E-80 require a backbox?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA backbox is not required for the DALI Phantom E-80 to function, but DALI recommends one for the best bass performance. The optimum rear volume is 30 litres, with acceptable performance from backboxes between 10 and 100 litres. In open ceiling cavities with a large shared plenum volume, the Phantom E-80 performs well without a dedicated enclosure. For installations in smaller ceiling voids, partitioned joist bays, or rooms requiring controlled bass response, a compatible backbox will meaningfully improve low-frequency extension and output consistency between units.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dali","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46846415012092,"sku":null,"price":600.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0116\/1773\/0617\/files\/DaliPhantomE-80VinylSound2.webp?v=1737880798"},{"product_id":"dali-phantom-e60","title":"Dali Phantom E‑60 In‑Ceiling Speaker (Each)","description":"\u003ch1\u003eDALI Phantom E-60 In-Ceiling Speaker at Vinyl Sound Toronto Canada\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Phantom E-60 is a versatile all-round in-ceiling loudspeaker from DALI (Struer, Denmark), available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada.

In smaller rooms such as kitchens, home offices, and bedrooms, a stereo pair delivers a complete and satisfying audio experience without visible cabinetry. In larger open-plan spaces or dedicated home cinema rooms, the Phantom E-60 excels as a side surround, rear surround, or height speaker, integrating with primary speakers from DALI's Opticon, Oberon, or Rubicon cabinet speaker ranges. The compass positioning system on the baffle allows precise rotation of the tilted woofer toward the primary listening position, while the dogleg clamp mounting system secures the speaker in a single front-access step without requiring rear access to the ceiling void.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWishbone-Mounted Tweeter and Low-Loss Woofer Design\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Phantom E-60's 28 mm soft textile dome tweeter is housed in a composite module mounted off-centre over the woofer on an aeroplane-wing profile wishbone bracket. This off-centre positioning eliminates the high-frequency colouration typically associated with coaxial driver arrangements, allowing the tweeter's output to blend naturally with the woofer's midrange without phase cancellation artefacts. The 6.5-inch polypropylene cone woofer is engineered according to DALI's low-loss principles, optimising driver efficiency so that amplifiers as modest as 30 W deliver a high-quality result.

It delivers a maximum SPL of 104 dB, accepts 30 to 120 W at 8 ohms, and is sold individually at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada. It is designed as a flexible all-rounder for stereo music, home cinema surround, and Dolby Atmos height speaker applications in both in-ceiling and in-wall positions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the DALI Phantom E-60 compare to other 6.5-inch in-ceiling speakers?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Phantom E-60 distinguishes itself from comparable 6.5-inch in-ceiling speakers through its wishbone-mounted off-centre tweeter, audiophile-grade crossover components, and dual voicing switches. Competing models such as the Klipsch CDT-3650-C II and the Polk Audio 65-RT use more conventional coaxial or near-coaxial tweeter arrangements that introduce more high-frequency colouration. The Bowers and Wilkins CCM663 occupies a similar performance tier but lacks the Phantom E-60's Focus\/Distributed switch for adjusting dispersion pattern. At 88 dB sensitivity and a recommended power range starting at just 30 W, the Phantom E-60 is also more accommodating of modest amplification than many competitors at this size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the DALI Phantom E-60 be used as a Dolby Atmos height speaker?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the DALI Phantom E-60 is well suited for use as a height speaker in Dolby Atmos and DTS:X multichannel home cinema systems. Its compact 225 mm cutout fits standard ceiling joist bays, its 52 Hz to 25,000 Hz frequency range captures the full overhead audio content in Atmos soundtracks, and the Focus\/Distributed switch allows the dispersion pattern to be optimised for the overhead listening angle. The Phantom E-60 also pairs naturally with DALI Phantom E-80 units used as front and surround speakers for a matched-timbre all-DALI home cinema system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat do the Focus\/Distributed and Normal\/HF+ Tilt switches do?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Focus\/Distributed switch on the DALI Phantom E-60 controls the speaker's dispersion pattern. In Focus mode, output is directed more narrowly toward the primary listening position for improved stereo imaging. In Distributed mode, the dispersion is widened to fill a larger area, making it better suited to background music in open-plan spaces. The Normal\/HF+ Tilt switch independently adjusts high-frequency output, boosting treble when the speaker is used in acoustically absorbent rooms or at greater off-axis angles from the listening position. Both switches are accessible from the front of the baffle after removing the magnetic grille.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the DALI Phantom E-60 in Toronto or Canada?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Phantom E-60 is available at Vinyl Sound, an authorised DALI dealer in Toronto, Canada. Vinyl Sound serves customers across the Greater Toronto Area and ships throughout Canada. The Phantom E-60 is sold as a single unit, allowing customers to purchase a stereo pair for music rooms, a set of four for surround sound, or individual units for specific height speaker positions in a multichannel system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat amplifier should I pair with the DALI Phantom E-60?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Phantom E-60 is compatible with any amplifier or AV receiver rated between 30 W and 120 W into 8 ohms. Its 88 dB sensitivity makes it easy to drive to satisfying volumes, pairing well with compact stereo amplifiers such as the NAD D 3020 V2 or Marantz PM5005 for music-only installations, and with AV receivers from the Denon AVR-X or Yamaha RX-V series for home cinema use. For multi-room distributed audio, the Sonos Amp or Russound MCA-C5 provide appropriate per-zone power for one or two pairs of Phantom E-60 units.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs a backbox required for the DALI Phantom E-60?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA backbox is not required but is recommended by DALI for the best bass performance from the Phantom E-60. The recommended working volume is 5 to 50 litres. In open ceiling cavities with generous shared plenum volume, the Phantom E-60 performs well without a dedicated enclosure. For installations in tightly partitioned ceiling voids or joist bays where the available rear volume is limited, a correctly sized backbox within the recommended range will improve low-frequency extension and ensure consistent output between multiple units in the same system.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dali","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46846415044860,"sku":null,"price":460.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0116\/1773\/0617\/files\/DaliPhantomE-60VinylSound2_c1405ae5-27d8-4420-b1f6-acf96202e783.webp?v=1737881279"},{"product_id":"dali-phantom-e60s","title":"Dali Phantom E‑60 S In‑Ceiling Speaker (Each)","description":"\u003ch1\u003eDALI Phantom E-60 S In-Ceiling Stereo Speaker at Vinyl Sound Toronto Canada\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Phantom E-60 S is DALI's first in-ceiling stereo speaker, from DALI (Struer, Denmark), available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada.

The two 20 mm ultra-lightweight soft woven fabric dome tweeters are positioned 144 mm apart to maximise stereo image width within the constraints of a single in-ceiling enclosure. The shared 6.5-inch dual voice coil polypropylene woofer handles low and midrange frequencies independently for each channel, maintaining channel separation below the 2,600 Hz crossover point. Two independent Normal\/High+ slide switches allow the high-frequency response of each channel to be tuned separately to suit the room acoustics, providing a level of per-channel control not available in any standard mono in-ceiling speaker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eLow-Loss Woofer and Audiophile Crossover Design\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Phantom E-60 S's 6.5-inch polypropylene cone woofer is designed according to DALI's low-loss principles, optimising the driver's mechanical efficiency so that amplifiers rated as low as 20 W per channel can drive the speaker to satisfying volumes. The tilted and angled cone improves directionality and soundstaging, directing output toward the listening position when the speaker is rotated using the baffle compass markings. The crossover uses audiophile-grade components selected specifically for this design, with internal wiring secured to prevent any mechanical rattle during playback.

It covers 57 Hz to 25,000 Hz, handles 2 x 20 to 80 W at 8 ohms per channel, and is available individually at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada. It is designed for small to medium-sized rooms and height speaker applications in multichannel systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the DALI Phantom E-60 S compare to other in-ceiling stereo speakers?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Phantom E-60 S competes directly with models such as the Polk Audio 255C-RT and the Klipsch CDT-3650-C II, both of which offer in-ceiling stereo from a single unit. The Phantom E-60 S distinguishes itself through its dual-mono crossover architecture with separate circuit boards per channel, independent per-channel HF tuning switches, and DALI's wide-dispersion driver philosophy. The 144 mm tweeter spacing is wider than many competing stereo in-ceiling designs, contributing to a broader stereo image. The Phantom E-60 S also draws on the proven acoustic platform of the acclaimed Phantom E-60, giving it a more audiophile-oriented heritage than most single-unit stereo ceiling speaker alternatives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the DALI Phantom E-60 S be used as a Dolby Atmos height speaker?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the DALI Phantom E-60 S is suitable for use as a height speaker in Dolby Atmos and DTS:X multichannel home cinema systems. Its compact 225 mm cutout diameter fits standard ceiling joist bays, and its 57 Hz to 25,000 Hz frequency range captures the full overhead audio content encoded in Atmos and DTS:X soundtracks. Using a single Phantom E-60 S per overhead channel delivers both left and right height signals from one ceiling position, reducing the number of cutouts required in a multichannel height installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the dual-mono crossover in the Phantom E-60 S work?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Phantom E-60 S dual-mono crossover uses entirely separate input terminals and independent crossover circuit boards for the left and right stereo channels. Each channel has its own signal path from the input terminal through to the tweeter, with the 6.5-inch dual voice coil woofer reproducing each channel's bass content independently below 2,600 Hz. This separation maintains stereo channel integrity throughout the speaker and avoids the crosstalk and signal blending that occurs in simpler shared-crossover stereo in-ceiling designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the DALI Phantom E-60 S in Toronto or Canada?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Phantom E-60 S is available at Vinyl Sound, an authorised DALI dealer in Toronto, Canada. Vinyl Sound serves customers across the Greater Toronto Area and ships throughout Canada. The Phantom E-60 S is sold as a single stereo unit, so one speaker provides complete two-channel audio for a room, or two units can be used for a wider stereo spread or a four-channel height layer in a large multichannel installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat amplifier should I use with the DALI Phantom E-60 S?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Phantom E-60 S requires a stereo amplifier or AV receiver with two independent channels rated between 20 W and 80 W each into 8 ohms. Its 90 dB sensitivity means it is highly efficient and performs well even with compact amplifiers. Suitable pairings include the NAD D 3045, Marantz PM6007, or any AV receiver from the Denon AVR-X or Yamaha RX-V series with 8-ohm stable output. For dedicated multi-room installations, amplifiers such as the Sonos Amp or Russound MCA-C5 provide appropriate per-zone stereo power for a single Phantom E-60 S unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the DALI Phantom E-60 S need a backbox?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA backbox is not mandatory for the DALI Phantom E-60 S, but DALI recommends one for optimal bass performance. The optimum rear volume is 15 litres, with acceptable results from enclosures between 5 and 35 litres. In open ceiling cavities with sufficient shared plenum volume, the Phantom E-60 S functions well without a dedicated backbox. For installations in small joist bays, partitioned ceiling voids, or rooms where controlled bass response between multiple units is important, a correctly sized backbox will improve low-frequency consistency and output.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dali","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46846415077628,"sku":null,"price":600.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0116\/1773\/0617\/files\/DaliPhantomE-60SVinylSound2.webp?v=1737881719"},{"product_id":"dali-phantom-e80wr","title":"Dali Phantom E-80 WR In-Ceiling Speaker (Each)","description":"\u003ch1\u003eDALI Phantom E-80 WR In-Ceiling Speaker at Vinyl Sound Toronto Canada\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Phantom E-80 WR is a weather-resistant in-ceiling loudspeaker from DALI (Struer, Denmark), available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada.

Its IP65 rating confirms full dust protection and resistance to water jets from any direction, making it suitable for high-humidity bathrooms, steam rooms, covered patios, and outdoor entertainment areas. The galvanized, electroplated magnetic grille adds an additional layer of elemental protection, while the speaker's operational temperature range of -20 to +60°C ensures reliable year-round performance in Canadian climates, from heated indoor spaces to covered exterior installations that experience seasonal temperature swings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eClass-Leading Sound Quality with Tilted Driver Design\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of the E-80 WR's acoustic performance is an 8-inch polypropylene cone bass\/midrange driver paired with a very low-loss rubber surround. This combination produces an uncoloured midrange and deep, extended low-frequency output reaching 49 Hz. The 25 mm soft woven fabric dome tweeter handles high frequencies up to 25,000 Hz with extended detail and smooth dispersion. A defining feature of the E-80 WR is its 5-degree off-axis driver tilt, which allows the speaker to be rotated so that sound is directed toward the primary listening position. This tilt simultaneously reduces mechanical resonance between the driver and baffle, lowering distortion and colouration for a more accurate audio reproduction than flat-mounted competitors such as the Polk Audio Atrium 8 SDI or Sonance Marine 83.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIP65 Weather Resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fully sealed against dust and water jets, making the E-80 WR suitable for bathrooms, spas, saunas, laundry rooms, and covered outdoor terraces.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWide Operating Temperature Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e Performs reliably from -20°C to +60°C, accommodating both heated indoor environments and exposed covered outdoor installations in Canadian climates.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e8-Inch Polypropylene Cone Woofer:\u003c\/strong\u003e A stiff yet lightweight cone paired with a low-loss rubber surround delivers rich, natural bass extension down to 49 Hz with minimal colouration.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e25 mm Soft Dome Tweeter:\u003c\/strong\u003e A soft woven fabric dome tweeter provides detailed, extended high-frequency response up to 25,000 Hz, consistent with DALI's cabinet speaker heritage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5-Degree Tilted Driver Baffle:\u003c\/strong\u003e The off-axis tilt directs sound toward the listening position and reduces baffle resonance, lowering distortion for more accurate reproduction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHF and Mid Adjustment Switches:\u003c\/strong\u003e Onboard Normal\/High+ and Normal\/Mid+ voicing switches allow the frequency response to be tailored to different room acoustics and ceiling heights.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDogleg Clamp Mounting System:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tool-free installation compatible with ceiling and wall thicknesses from 10 mm to 70 mm, with spring-terminal cable connections for quick and secure wiring.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePaintable Galvanized Magnetic Grille:\u003c\/strong\u003e The electroplated white grille blends into any ceiling and can be painted to match any interior finish, snapping on and off magnetically for easy access.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlexible Placement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Recommended for ceiling, front, centre, and surround positions, making the E-80 WR suitable for stereo music, home theatre, and multi-room audio applications.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eFrequency Range\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e49 -

It is designed for high-humidity indoor environments and covered outdoor installations, handles up to 150 W of amplifier power, and is sold individually at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the DALI Phantom E-80 WR compare to other weather-resistant in-ceiling speakers?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Phantom E-80 WR outperforms most weather-resistant in-ceiling speakers in both audio quality and environmental protection. Alternatives such as the Polk Audio Atrium 8 SDI and the Sonance Marine 83 offer weather resistance but lack onboard voicing switches and a tilted driver baffle for distortion reduction. The Klipsch AW-650 shares a similar outdoor focus but uses a different driver topology without the E-80 WR's low-loss rubber surround or adjustable HF and Mid switches. At 89 dB sensitivity and 107 dB maximum SPL, the E-80 WR also delivers meaningfully higher output capability than most competitors in this category.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the DALI Phantom E-80 WR be installed in a bathroom or outdoor terrace?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the DALI Phantom E-80 WR is specifically designed for bathrooms, spas, laundry rooms, and covered outdoor terraces. Its IP65 rating means it is fully protected against dust ingress and sustained water jets, and its operating range of -20 to +60°C accommodates the temperature variation found in Canadian outdoor covered installations across all seasons. It should not be installed in locations exposed to direct rainfall or full submersion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does the IP65 rating mean for the DALI Phantom E-80 WR?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIP65 is an international ingress protection standard defined by IEC 60529. The first digit, 6, indicates complete protection against dust. The second digit, 5, indicates protection against water jets projected from any direction. For the DALI Phantom E-80 WR, this means the speaker can withstand the humidity, condensation, and incidental water contact typical of bathroom, spa, and covered outdoor environments without damage to its drivers, crossover components, or grille.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat amplifier or AV receiver should I pair with the DALI Phantom E-80 WR?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Phantom E-80 WR works with any amplifier or AV receiver rated between 30 W and 150 W into 6 ohms. Its 89 dB sensitivity makes it relatively easy to drive, pairing well with mid-range multi-zone amplifiers such as the Denon HEOS Amp, Sonos Amp, or Russound MCA-C5. For home theatre surround configurations, AV receivers from the Marantz SR series or Denon AVR-X series provide ample power. When deploying multiple E-80 WR units in a single zone, using an amplifier with stable 4-ohm output or a speaker selector with impedance matching is recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the DALI Phantom E-80 WR in Toronto or Canada?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Phantom E-80 WR is available at Vinyl Sound, an authorised DALI dealer in Toronto, Canada. Vinyl Sound serves customers across the Greater Toronto Area and ships throughout Canada. The E-80 WR is sold as a single unit, allowing customers to purchase exactly the quantity needed for their installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the DALI Phantom E-80 WR require a backbox?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA backbox is not strictly required for the DALI Phantom E-80 WR, but DALI recommends using one for optimal bass performance. The recommended rear volume is between 10 and 100 litres, with 30 litres identified as the optimum. In open ceiling cavities with sufficient shared volume, the E-80 WR performs well without a dedicated backbox, making it practical for large plenum spaces. In bathrooms and tiled wet areas, a waterproof backbox is strongly advised to isolate the speaker cavity from moisture and to enhance bass response.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dali","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46846415110396,"sku":null,"price":700.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0116\/1773\/0617\/files\/DaliPhantomE80WRVinylSound2.webp?v=1737882648"},{"product_id":"dali-phantom-e60wr","title":"Dali Phantom E‑60 WR In‑Ceiling Speaker (Each)","description":"\u003ch1\u003eDALI Phantom E-60 WR In-Ceiling Speaker at Vinyl Sound Toronto Canada\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Phantom E-60 WR is an IP65-rated weather-resistant in-ceiling loudspeaker from DALI (Struer, Denmark), available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada.

Its IP65 rating confirms complete dust protection and resistance to water jets from any direction, making it a reliable choice for bathrooms, steam rooms, laundry rooms, spas, and covered patios. An operational temperature range of -20 to +60°C accommodates the full seasonal range of Canadian covered outdoor installations, from heated indoor spaces in winter to sun-exposed terraces in summer. The electroplated galvanized magnetic grille provides an additional barrier against moisture and corrosion, and its paintable white surface allows it to blend into or contrast with any ceiling finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTilted Driver Design for Accurate Sound Reproduction\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe E-60 WR's 5-degree off-axis driver tilt is a key differentiator from conventional flat-mounted in-ceiling speakers such as the Polk Audio Atrium 60 or the Sonance Marine 63. By rotating the speaker within its cutout, the tilted woofer and tweeter can be aimed directly at the primary listening position, improving on-axis frequency response and stereo imaging. The tilt simultaneously decouples the driver from the baffle mechanically, reducing resonance and lowering distortion for a more accurate audio reproduction than flat-mounted alternatives.

It operates from -20 to +60°C, handles 30 to 120 W at 8 ohms, and is sold individually at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada. It is designed for bathrooms, spas, laundry rooms, and covered outdoor terraces where standard in-ceiling speakers cannot be used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the DALI Phantom E-60 WR compare to other weather-resistant 6.5-inch in-ceiling speakers?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Phantom E-60 WR offers a more acoustically refined approach than most weather-resistant in-ceiling speakers in its size class. Competitors such as the Polk Audio Atrium 60 and the Klipsch AW-525 offer outdoor-rated performance but use flat-mounted driver baffles without the E-60 WR's 5-degree tilt for resonance reduction. The Sonance Marine 63 is a close size-class competitor but lacks onboard voicing switches. The E-60 WR's combination of IP65 protection, tilted driver baffle, independent Normal\/High+ and Normal\/Mid+ switches, and paintable galvanized grille makes it one of the most versatile and acoustically considered options available in the 6.5-inch weather-resistant in-ceiling category.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the DALI Phantom E-60 WR be installed in a bathroom or shower area?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the DALI Phantom E-60 WR is specifically designed for bathrooms and high-humidity environments. Its IP65 rating provides complete protection against dust and water jets from any direction, covering the condensation, steam, and incidental water contact typical of bathroom and shower ceiling installations. It should be installed in the ceiling above or adjacent to the shower area, not directly in the path of the shower spray, and the ceiling cavity behind the speaker should be protected from direct moisture ingress using a suitable backbox or moisture barrier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does the 5-degree driver tilt on the DALI Phantom E-60 WR do?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 5-degree off-axis driver tilt on the DALI Phantom E-60 WR allows the speaker to be rotated within its ceiling cutout so that the woofer and tweeter aim toward the primary listening position rather than projecting sound straight down. This improves on-axis frequency response at the listening position and broadens the effective sweet spot. The tilt also physically decouples the driver from the baffle at a slight angle, reducing mechanical resonance between the two components and lowering distortion for a more accurate and natural audio reproduction than flat-mounted weather-resistant speakers provide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the DALI Phantom E-60 WR in Toronto or Canada?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Phantom E-60 WR is available at Vinyl Sound, an authorised DALI dealer in Toronto, Canada. Vinyl Sound serves customers throughout the Greater Toronto Area and ships across Canada. The E-60 WR is sold as a single unit, allowing customers to purchase the exact quantity required for their bathroom, spa, or outdoor terrace installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat amplifier should I pair with the DALI Phantom E-60 WR?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Phantom E-60 WR is compatible with any amplifier or AV receiver rated between 30 W and 120 W into 8 ohms. At 88 dB sensitivity it is efficient enough for use with compact multi-zone amplifiers such as the Sonos Amp, Denon HEOS Amp, or Russound MCA-C5, all of which are well suited to bathroom and distributed audio installations. For covered outdoor terrace setups with multiple E-60 WR units per zone, a dedicated multi-zone amplifier with impedance protection is recommended to maintain stable performance across all speakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the DALI Phantom E-60 WR require a backbox?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA backbox is not required for the DALI Phantom E-60 WR to operate, but DALI recommends one for optimal bass performance. The optimum rear volume is 15 litres, with acceptable results from enclosures between 5 and 50 litres. In bathrooms and wet areas, a waterproof backbox is strongly recommended to isolate the ceiling cavity from moisture, protect the speaker's rear components, and improve bass response consistency. In large open plenum spaces on outdoor terraces, the E-60 WR performs well without a dedicated enclosure provided the cavity volume is sufficient.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dali","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46846415143164,"sku":null,"price":550.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0116\/1773\/0617\/files\/DaliPhantomE60WRVinylSound2.webp?v=1737883121"},{"product_id":"dali-phantom-h80r","title":"Dali Phantom H‑80 R In‑Wall Speaker (Each)","description":"\u003ch1\u003eDALI Phantom H-80 R In-Wall Speaker at Vinyl Sound Toronto Canada\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Phantom H-80 R is a rectangular in-wall speaker from DALI (Hobro, Denmark), available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada. It is the rectangular-format version of DALI's Phantom H-80, sharing the same \u003cstrong\u003e8-inch wood fibre woofer\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e28 mm ultra-lightweight soft dome tweeter\u003c\/strong\u003e, audiophile-grade crossover, and PPTC thermal protection in a conventional horizontal form factor designed to integrate more naturally with standard wall layouts and room proportions. Covering a frequency range of \u003cstrong\u003e46 Hz to 25,000 Hz\u003c\/strong\u003e at 90 dB sensitivity and 109 dB maximum SPL, the H-80 R is positioned as a true alternative to traditional bookshelf speakers and small floorstanders, delivering the same musical performance in a discreet in-wall format. Its rectangular profile, minimised cabinet edge diffraction, and acoustical wall-loading effects produce a smooth midrange, better bass time alignment, and improved impulse response compared to a freestanding speaker of equivalent size. Sold individually, it is designed for in-wall installation and suited to stereo pairs, surround channels, and home cinema rear positions in medium to large rooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eRectangular Form Factor: An Acoustically and Visually Natural In-Wall Solution\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDALI developed the Phantom H-R series specifically to offer a rectangular alternative to the square Phantom H series, recognising that rectangular speakers integrate more naturally with standard wall proportions, door and window alignments, and the horizontal orientation most listeners associate with conventional speakers. The H-80 R's rectangular 17.8-inch x 11.2-inch format with a 16.8-inch x 10.2-inch cut-out is more compatible with standard wall stud spacing in both North American and European construction, making it practical to install between studs in many wall types without bridging cavity members. Beyond visual integration, DALI engineered acoustic benefits into the rectangular baffle shape. The minimised cabinet edge diffraction of the rectangular form, where the baffle edges are at differing distances from the drivers rather than equidistant as in a square design, produces a smoother midrange by reducing the coherent edge-diffraction artefacts that can cause tonal unevenness in the square H-80. Better time alignment between bass and midrange frequencies is also achieved through the rectangular geometry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e8-inch Wood Fibre Woofer with Double Magnet Motor for Full-Range Bass\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Phantom H-80 R's 8-inch woofer uses DALI's signature paper pulp and wood fibre cone, a lightweight, randomly structured material that reproduces fine musical detail with low coloration. A low-loss rubber surround and long-excursion spider allow large cone movements without mechanical stress, enabling the driver to produce deep, effortless bass from 46 Hz within an open-back enclosure relying on wall cavity volume. A powerful double magnet motor drives a 30 mm voice coil with high magnetic flux, ensuring that the cone starts and stops promptly for tight, controlled bass without smear or overhang. The increased acoustical loading provided by the wall cavity around the speaker allows the H-80 R to work less hard at low frequencies compared to a freestanding speaker of equivalent size, improving efficiency and reducing distortion at moderate to high listening levels. Speaker terminals are mounted directly on the crossover for the shortest signal path, with spring-loaded grips providing a secure, long-lasting cable connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e28 mm Soft Dome Tweeter with Optimised Faceplate Geometry\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Phantom H-80 R's tweeter uses an ultra-lightweight woven fabric diaphragm with a ferrite-driven magnet motor that handles power efficiently and dissipates voice coil heat rapidly to reduce power compression. The tweeter front plate is shaped and positioned as close as possible to the dome, optimising the dome's working conditions for an extended frequency response, wide dispersion, and low coloration. Placing the tweeter adjacent to the woofer on the MDF front baffle minimises the physical distance between drivers for improved time alignment and a more coherent acoustic summation at the 2,350 Hz crossover point. Together the woofer and tweeter produce the cohesive, natural, and highly detailed soundstage that defines the Phantom H series character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eLow-Resonance MDF Baffle with Thickened Outer Trim\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Phantom H-80 R's front baffle is manufactured from solid MDF, providing a rigid, acoustically damped platform that minimises panel resonance and keeps the drivers securely anchored. DALI adds extra thickness specifically to the outer edges of the baffle trim, which serves two purposes: it creates a tighter and more secure mechanical connection between the speaker and the mounting surface, and it increases the overall stiffness and structural rigidity of the speaker assembly. The tighter wall contact further reduces the transmission of panel vibration into the wall structure, lowering distortion and maintaining the cleaner acoustic performance associated with the Phantom H-R series versus a conventional freestanding speaker placed against or near a wall. A PPTC resettable fuse in the audiophile-grade crossover protects the driver components from overheating during extended high-volume use in unsupervised custom installation environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRectangular Format for Natural Visual and Acoustic Integration:\u003c\/strong\u003e 17.8\" x 11.2\" profile integrates naturally with standard wall layouts.

It shares the same 8-inch wood fibre woofer with a double magnet motor system, 28 mm soft dome tweeter, 2,350 Hz crossover, audiophile-grade crossover components, and PPTC thermal protection as the square H-80, but in a 17.8-inch x 11.2-inch rectangular form factor with a 16.8-inch x 10.2-inch cut-out. It covers 46 Hz to 25,000 Hz at 90 dB sensitivity with a 109 dB maximum SPL, and is designed as an in-wall alternative to bookshelf speakers and small floorstanders. Sold individually for in-wall installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between the DALI Phantom H-80 and the Phantom H-80 R?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Phantom H-80 and Phantom H-80 R share the same driver complement, crossover, specifications, and performance characteristics, but differ in cabinet shape and installation format. The H-80 uses a square 13.2-inch x 13.2-inch format suited to both in-wall and in-ceiling installation, including compatibility with square ceiling tile grids. The H-80 R uses a rectangular 17.8-inch x 11.2-inch format designed specifically for in-wall use where a conventional horizontal speaker shape integrates more naturally with room proportions and wall layout. The rectangular baffle of the H-80 R also produces acoustic advantages: minimised cabinet edge diffraction for smoother midrange, better bass time alignment, and improved overall coherence compared to the square baffle geometry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the DALI Phantom H-80 R replace bookshelf speakers or small floorstanders?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, DALI explicitly positions the Phantom H-80 R as a direct alternative to bookshelf speakers and small floorstanders. Its 8-inch woofer, double magnet motor system, and open-back wall-loading produce a full-range frequency response from 46 Hz to 25,000 Hz with a 109 dB maximum SPL, performance comparable to a quality compact floorstander or larger bookshelf speaker. The in-wall mounting position delivers additional acoustic advantages over a freestanding equivalent: the wall cavity provides increased acoustical loading at low frequencies, improving efficiency and reducing distortion, while in-wall placement eliminates the early reflections from a nearby rear wall surface that affect freestanding speakers, improving impulse response and soundstage clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is cabinet edge diffraction, and how does the H-80 R's rectangular format address it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCabinet edge diffraction occurs when sound waves radiated by a driver reach the edges of the front baffle and diffract, creating a secondary sound source that interferes with the direct driver output. In a square baffle, all four edges are at the same distance from the centre-mounted drivers, causing the diffracted waves to arrive simultaneously and creating a more pronounced and coherent interference pattern. In the H-80 R's rectangular baffle, the left-right edges and the top-bottom edges are at different distances from the drivers, spreading the diffraction energy over time and reducing the peak interference level. DALI notes that this produces a smoother midrange and better time alignment between bass and treble compared to the square H-80, making the rectangular format an acoustic advantage as well as a visual preference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the DALI Phantom H-80 R in Toronto or Canada?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Phantom H-80 R is available at Vinyl Sound, an authorised DALI dealer in Toronto, Canada. Vinyl Sound carries the full DALI Phantom H and H-R series and can provide advice on cavity volume requirements, cut-out planning, amplifier matching, and system design for custom installation projects. Purchasing from an authorised Canadian dealer ensures full DALI manufacturer warranty coverage and access to experienced local support throughout the installation process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat amplifier is recommended for the DALI Phantom H-80 R?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Phantom H-80 R is rated for 30 to 200 watts at a 6-ohm nominal impedance. Its 90 dB sensitivity makes it easy to drive from a wide range of amplifiers and AV receivers. AV receivers from brands such as Denon, Marantz, Yamaha, and Arcam with 6-ohm rated outputs in the 60 to 120 watt per channel range are well suited for home cinema multi-channel configurations. For two-channel stereo applications, integrated amplifiers in the 50 to 150 watt range from brands such as NAD, Rotel, or Cambridge Audio provide ample power. The PPTC protection in the crossover adds thermal safety for installations where the amplifier may occasionally be driven hard without supervision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Phantom H-80 R handle the wall cavity volume requirement?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Phantom H-80 R requires a wall cavity working volume of between 15 and 100 litres behind the mounting surface. In standard timber stud wall construction, a single stud bay typically provides 20 to 40 litres depending on stud spacing and depth, which falls within the acceptable range. The tolerant 15 to 100 litre specification gives the H-80 R flexibility across different wall construction types without requiring precise back box sizing. Larger cavities within the range will allow the woofer to reach its full low-frequency extension with greater ease, while cavities at the lower end of the range produce a slightly tighter, more controlled bass character. Unlike the Phantom M and S series speakers, the H-80 R does not include an integrated back box and requires an open wall cavity of appropriate volume behind it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dali","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46846415175932,"sku":null,"price":900.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0116\/1773\/0617\/files\/DaliPhantomH-80RVinylSound2.webp?v=1737883940"},{"product_id":"dali-phantom-h60r","title":"Dali Phantom H-60 R In-Wall Speaker (Each)","description":"\u003ch1\u003eDALI Phantom H-60 R In-Wall Speaker at Vinyl Sound Toronto Canada\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Phantom H-60 R is a rectangular in-wall speaker from DALI (Hobro, Denmark), available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada. It is the rectangular-format version of DALI's Phantom H-60, delivering the same performance in a conventional horizontal form factor that integrates more naturally with standard wall proportions than the square H-60.

The H-60 R's rectangular baffle geometry produces minimised cabinet edge diffraction for a smoother midrange and better bass time alignment, while in-wall installation provides increased acoustical loading that allows the woofer to work more efficiently at low frequencies. An audiophile-grade crossover with PPTC thermal protection, a low-resonance MDF front baffle with thickened outer edges, and DALI's wide dispersion design complete the specification. Sold individually, it is suited to in-wall use as a stereo pair, home cinema surround speaker, front channel, or centre channel in small to medium rooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eRectangular Form Factor: Acoustic and Visual Advantages Over Square In-Wall Designs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDALI developed the Phantom H-R series to provide a rectangular alternative to the square Phantom H series, addressing both visual and acoustic considerations. Visually, a rectangular speaker integrates more naturally with the proportions of standard domestic walls, aligning with door frames, window heights, and the horizontal orientation that most listeners associate with conventional loudspeakers. Acoustically, the rectangular baffle brings a meaningful engineering benefit through reduced cabinet edge diffraction. In the H-60 R's rectangular format, the left-right edges and top-bottom edges are at different distances from the centrally mounted drivers, causing diffracted sound waves to arrive at different times and spreading the diffraction energy over a wider time window. This reduces the coherent interference peaks that arise in a square baffle where all edges are equidistant, producing a measurably smoother midrange response. In-wall placement itself also provides improved impulse response compared to a freestanding speaker placed near a wall, as early reflections from the rear wall surface are eliminated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e6.5-inch Wood Fibre Woofer with Long-Excursion Motor System\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Phantom H-60 R's 6.5-inch woofer uses DALI's signature paper pulp and wood fibre cone, a lightweight material with a deliberately non-uniform structure that reproduces fine musical detail without the honk or coloration of more rigid cones. A low-loss rubber surround and long-excursion spider allow the cone to move freely over a wide range without mechanical stress, enabling the H-60 R to deliver warm, full bass from 51 Hz with a punchy, fast character that does not sacrifice midrange naturalness. The powerful low-loss magnet system provides precise control and timing, ensuring that the cone starts and stops accurately in response to the audio signal for coherent, believable bass reproduction. The increased acoustical loading that the wall cavity provides allows the H-60 R's woofer to reach its low-frequency output targets with less mechanical effort than a freestanding speaker of equivalent size, reducing distortion at moderate listening levels and making the driver easier to drive with modest amplifier power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e28 mm Soft Dome Tweeter with Optimised Faceplate for Low Coloration\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe H-60 R's tweeter uses an ultra-lightweight woven fabric diaphragm paired with a ferrite-driven magnet motor that dissipates voice coil heat rapidly, reducing power compression under sustained high-frequency output. The tweeter front plate is shaped and positioned as close as possible to the dome surface, creating optimal working conditions for extended frequency response, wide horizontal dispersion, and minimised coloration through the upper frequency range. Placing the tweeter physically adjacent to the woofer on the MDF front baffle minimises the acoustic distance between drivers, improving time alignment at the 1,900 Hz crossover point and producing a more seamless, coherent transition between the bass and treble sections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eLow-Resonance MDF Baffle with Thickened Outer Trim and PPTC Crossover Protection\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Phantom H-60 R's front baffle is manufactured from solid MDF, providing an acoustically damped, rigid platform that anchors both drivers securely and eliminates panel resonance. Extra thickness is added to the outer edges of the baffle trim, which improves the mechanical contact between the speaker and the wall mounting surface, further reducing transmitted vibration and maintaining tighter overall assembly rigidity. An audiophile-grade crossover with components individually selected for performance includes a PPTC (Polymeric Positive Temperature Coefficient) resettable fuse that protects the drivers from overheating during extended high-volume use in unsupervised custom installation environments. Speaker terminals are located directly on the crossover board for the shortest signal path, with spring-loaded grips ensuring a secure, long-lasting cable connection free of rattle or intermittency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRectangular Format for Natural Visual and Acoustic Integration:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16.30-inch x 9.61-inch profile integrates naturally with standard wall layouts.

It shares the same 6.5-inch wood fibre woofer, 28 mm soft dome tweeter, 1,900 Hz crossover, and audiophile-grade PPTC-protected crossover as the square H-60, presented in a 16.30-inch x 9.61-inch rectangular form factor with a 15.35-inch x 8.66-inch cut-out. Its frequency range extends from 51 Hz to 25,000 Hz at 89 dB sensitivity with a 107 dB maximum SPL. Sold individually for in-wall installation, it is suited to stereo pairs, home cinema front, centre, and surround speaker positions in small to medium rooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between the DALI Phantom H-60 R and the Phantom H-80 R?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Phantom H-60 R and Phantom H-80 R are both rectangular versions of their respective square counterparts, sharing the same H-R series design philosophy and acoustic advantages of rectangular baffle geometry and in-wall acoustical loading. The key differences are driver size and output capability. The H-60 R uses a 6.5-inch woofer crossing over at 1,900 Hz with a frequency range starting at 51 Hz and a maximum SPL of 107 dB, making it best suited to small and medium rooms. The H-80 R uses an 8-inch woofer crossing over at 2,350 Hz with a lower frequency limit of 46 Hz and a higher maximum SPL of 109 dB, giving it greater bass extension and output for medium to large rooms. Both models accept 30 watts minimum, but the H-80 R handles up to 200 watts versus 150 watts for the H-60 R.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the DALI Phantom H-60 R operate without a subwoofer?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Phantom H-60 R is a true high-fidelity in-wall speaker capable of operating without a supplemental subwoofer in small to medium rooms for music listening and moderate home cinema use. Its 6.5-inch woofer and low-loss magnet system reach down to 51 Hz, covering most musical bass content and general home cinema dialogue and effects. For dedicated home cinema systems reproducing deep low-frequency soundtrack content, or for larger rooms where bass weight and impact are priorities, pairing the H-60 R with a DALI subwoofer will add the full-range bass authority the speaker cannot provide alone at its driver size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much wall cavity volume does the DALI Phantom H-60 R require?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Phantom H-60 R specifies a recommended rear volume of 10 to 35 litres, with an optimum of 20 litres. This is a smaller and more precisely specified cavity requirement than the larger H-80 R, reflecting the 6.5-inch woofer's more compact acoustic volume needs. In standard timber stud wall construction, a single stud bay at 400 mm centres typically provides 10 to 20 litres depending on wall depth, which sits at or near the optimum volume for the H-60 R. The dogleg mounting system accommodates wall thicknesses of 10 to 70 mm, giving it practical compatibility with a wide range of standard domestic wall constructions without requiring structural modification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the DALI Phantom H-60 R in Toronto or Canada?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Phantom H-60 R is available at Vinyl Sound, an authorised DALI dealer in Toronto, Canada. Vinyl Sound carries the full DALI Phantom H and H-R series and can provide advice on wall cavity volume requirements, cut-out planning, amplifier matching, and overall system design for custom installation projects. Purchasing from an authorised Canadian dealer ensures full DALI manufacturer warranty coverage and local professional support throughout the project.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat amplifier suits the DALI Phantom H-60 R?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Phantom H-60 R is rated for 30 to 150 watts at a 6-ohm nominal impedance. Its 89 dB sensitivity makes it efficient and easy to drive, reaching comfortable listening levels from modest amplification. AV receivers and custom install amplifiers from brands such as Yamaha, Denon, Arcam, and NAD with 6-ohm rated outputs in the 50 to 100 watt per channel range are well matched for home cinema multi-channel installations. For background music and distributed audio applications, amplifiers as modest as 30 watts per channel are sufficient for smaller room installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the Phantom H-60 R suitable for ceiling as well as wall installation?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Phantom H-60 R is primarily recommended for in-wall installation and is listed as suitable for in-ceiling use as well. Its rectangular format makes it less naturally suited to ceiling tile grid systems than the square H-60, but it can be ceiling-mounted in drywall ceilings where the rectangular cut-out can be made freely. In ceiling use, the recommended 10 to 35 litre cavity volume is typically available in standard domestic floor void spaces, and the driver's wide dispersion characteristics distribute sound broadly throughout the room from an overhead position.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dali","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46846415241468,"sku":null,"price":700.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0116\/1773\/0617\/files\/DaliPhantomH-60RVinylSound2.webp?v=1737884679"},{"product_id":"dali-phantom-h120","title":"Dali Phantom H‑120 In‑Wall Speaker (Each)","description":"\u003ch1\u003eDALI Phantom H-120 In-Wall Speaker at Vinyl Sound Toronto Canada\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Phantom H-120 is the flagship in-wall and in-ceiling speaker of DALI's Phantom H series, engineered in Hobro, Denmark and available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada. At the heart of this three-way custom installation speaker is an \u003cstrong\u003eunprecedented 12-inch wood fibre woofer\u003c\/strong\u003e, paired with a dedicated \u003cstrong\u003e5.25-inch wood fibre midrange driver\u003c\/strong\u003e and a \u003cstrong\u003e28 mm ultra-lightweight soft dome tweeter\u003c\/strong\u003e, all mounted in a solid MDF front baffle. Covering a frequency range of \u003cstrong\u003e32 Hz to 25,000 Hz\u003c\/strong\u003e with a maximum SPL of 112 dB, the H-120 is purpose-built for installations where a traditional floorstanding speaker or dedicated external subwoofer cannot be accommodated. Its open-back enclosure design, wide dispersion engineering, and audiophile-grade crossover with PPTC thermal protection make it an uncompromising full-range solution for both in-wall and in-ceiling applications in large rooms and demanding home cinema installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e12-inch Wood Fibre Woofer: Floorstanding Bass in a Flush-Mount Format\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe defining characteristic of the Phantom H-120 is its 12-inch woofer, a driver size not found in any other in-wall speaker at this performance level. The cone is constructed from DALI's signature paper pulp and wood fibre blend, a material chosen for its combination of low mass, high internal damping, and a deliberately non-uniform fibre structure that distributes resonance energy broadly rather than allowing it to concentrate at discrete frequencies. The woofer's low-loss rubber surround and long-excursion spider are optimised to allow large cone movements without mechanical stress, enabling the driver to generate the air displacement needed for genuinely deep, impactful bass from 32 Hz. A powerful double magnet motor system drives the 30 mm voice coil with a high magnetic flux, ensuring that the cone assembly starts and stops precisely in response to the audio signal. The speaker terminals are located directly on the crossover board for the shortest possible signal path, with spring-loaded grips providing a reliable, long-lasting connection to speaker cable in installed environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDedicated 5.25-inch Midrange Driver for Coherent Three-Way Performance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Phantom H-120 uses a separate 5.25-inch wood fibre cone midrange driver to handle the critical 850 Hz to 4,000 Hz frequency band independently of the 12-inch bass woofer. Dedicating a separate driver to the midrange allows each driver to operate within its optimal bandwidth, preventing the large woofer from attempting to reproduce frequencies where cone breakup and directivity narrowing would compromise resolution and imaging. The midrange cone uses the same paper pulp and wood fibre construction as the woofer, maintaining tonal consistency across the driver complement. The result is a coherent, detailed presentation through the vocal and instrumental range, without the tonal shift or box coloration that often affects smaller in-wall speakers where a single driver must cover both midrange and bass duties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAudiophile-Grade Crossover with PPTC Thermal Protection\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery component in the Phantom H-120's three-way crossover has been individually selected for audiophile-grade performance, with the network designed specifically for this model rather than adapted from a generic circuit. The crossover frequency points at 850 Hz and 4,000 Hz are chosen to keep each driver within its linear operating range and ensure seamless acoustic handover between sections. A PPTC (Polymeric Positive Temperature Coefficient) device is incorporated into the crossover as a resettable safety fuse. In custom installation environments where speakers may be driven at high volumes over extended periods, sometimes without the listener in the room, the PPTC limits current to the driver components if they risk overheating, preventing permanent damage. Unlike a conventional fuse, the PPTC automatically resets when the speaker returns to normal operating temperature, requiring no manual replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e28 mm Soft Dome Tweeter with Wide Dispersion\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Phantom H-120's 28 mm soft dome tweeter uses an ultra-lightweight woven fabric diaphragm and a high-performance magnet motor system optimised for accuracy, detail, and wide horizontal dispersion in the upper frequency range. The tweeter front plate is positioned close to the dome to extend the frequency response and reduce diffraction, improving integration with the midrange driver at the 4,000 Hz crossover point and reducing coloration in the transition band. DALI's wide dispersion design philosophy, applied across all Phantom series speakers, is especially important for flush-mounted speakers where the listener cannot adjust speaker position or aim. The H-120's crossover and tweeter geometry work together to ensure that high-frequency detail is distributed broadly rather than narrowly, creating a convincing soundstage from a wide range of listening positions in both in-wall and in-ceiling installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e12-inch Wood Fibre Woofer:\u003c\/strong\u003e An unprecedented woofer size for an in-wall speaker.

It is a three-way open-back speaker featuring a 12-inch wood fibre woofer, a dedicated 5.25-inch wood fibre midrange driver, and a 28 mm soft dome tweeter, crossing over at 850 Hz and 4,000 Hz. Its frequency range extends from 32 Hz to 25,000 Hz with a maximum SPL of 112 dB, making it a true full-range speaker designed to operate without a dedicated external subwoofer. It is sold individually and suited to both in-wall and in-ceiling installations in large rooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the DALI Phantom H-120 compare to the DALI Phantom S-280 and Phantom H-80?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Phantom H-120 and Phantom S-280 occupy different positions in DALI's Phantom range with different engineering approaches. The S-280 uses two 8-inch SMC woofers and two 10-inch carbon fibre passive radiators from the DALI SUB P-10 DSS subwoofer, plus the full Hybrid Tweeter module with a planar ribbon element, targeting the highest possible audiophile resolution in an in-wall format. The H-120 uses a single 12-inch woofer in an open-back configuration without passive radiators, prioritising sheer bass depth and output from a square footprint that also suits in-ceiling installation. Compared to the Phantom H-80 within the H series, the H-120 steps up from an 8-inch to a 12-inch woofer and from a two-way to a three-way design with a dedicated midrange driver, delivering greater bass extension, output capability, and midrange resolution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the DALI Phantom H-120 replace a subwoofer?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the DALI Phantom H-120 is designed as a genuine subwoofer alternative for installations where a separate bass unit cannot be used. Its 12-inch wood fibre woofer reaches down to 32 Hz within the recommended wall or ceiling cavity volume of 50 to 100 litres, covering the frequency range of most musical bass content and cinematic low-frequency effects tracks. DALI positions the H-120 explicitly as a full-range speaker requiring no supplemental subwoofer, and its 112 dB maximum SPL and 50 to 400 watt power handling give it the dynamic headroom to fill large rooms convincingly. For the deepest home cinema bass at extreme output levels in very large spaces, pairing with a dedicated DALI subwoofer remains an option, but the H-120 stands alone effectively in the majority of residential installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat wall or ceiling cavity volume does the DALI Phantom H-120 require?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Phantom H-120 uses an open-back enclosure design, meaning its bass performance depends on the volume of air in the wall or ceiling cavity behind it. DALI specifies a recommended working volume of 50 to 100 litres for optimal bass reproduction. In standard timber stud wall construction, a cavity spanning several stud bays typically provides sufficient volume. In ceiling installations, the void between ceiling and floor above often meets this requirement naturally. Where the available cavity is insufficient, custom back boxes can be constructed to the specified volume by an installation professional before the speaker is fitted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the DALI Phantom H-120 in Toronto or Canada?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Phantom H-120 is available at Vinyl Sound, an authorised DALI dealer in Toronto, Canada. Vinyl Sound carries the full DALI Phantom H, M, and S series and can assist with cavity volume planning, cut-out templates, amplifier matching, and overall system design for custom installation projects. Purchasing from an authorised Canadian dealer ensures full DALI manufacturer warranty coverage and professional local support throughout the installation process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat amplifier power does the DALI Phantom H-120 need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Phantom H-120 is rated for amplifier power between 50 and 400 watts at a 4-ohm nominal impedance. Its 90 dB sensitivity gives it good efficiency for a 4-ohm speaker, allowing it to reach substantial output levels from amplifiers at the lower end of its recommended range. However, a stable current delivery into 4 ohms is important for controlling the 12-inch woofer accurately at higher listening levels. Custom install amplifiers and AV receivers with 4-ohm rated outputs from brands such as Anthem, Arcam, Yamaha, and NAD are well matched. For the most demanding large-room applications, dedicated multi-channel power amplifiers with high current reserves will extract the best dynamic performance from the H-120's large woofer at elevated playback levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the DALI Phantom H-120 suitable for in-ceiling as well as in-wall installation?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the DALI Phantom H-120 is recommended for both in-wall and in-ceiling installation. Its square 445 mm x 445 mm cut-out footprint and open-back design are well suited to ceiling cavities, and the dogleg mounting clamp system works equally effectively in horizontal ceiling construction as in vertical wall panels. For ceiling installation in home cinema environments, the H-120's wide dispersion characteristics ensure that sound is distributed broadly throughout the room from above, rather than projecting narrowly toward a single listening position. The magnetic grille and clean matte finish integrate unobtrusively into any ceiling surface.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dali","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46846415274236,"sku":null,"price":2000.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0116\/1773\/0617\/files\/DaliPhantomH-120VinylSound2.webp?v=1737933819"},{"product_id":"dali-phantom-h80","title":"Dali Phantom H-80 In-Wall Speaker (Each)","description":"\u003ch1\u003eDALI Phantom H-80 In-Wall Speaker at Vinyl Sound Toronto Canada\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Phantom H-80 is a two-way in-wall and in-ceiling speaker from DALI (Hobro, Denmark), available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada. Built around DALI's traditional loudspeaker design philosophy, it is the choice for custom installations where \u003cstrong\u003elarge, dynamic, and well-defined sound\u003c\/strong\u003e from a single compact unit is the primary requirement. At the heart of the H-80 is an \u003cstrong\u003e8-inch wood fibre woofer\u003c\/strong\u003e driven by a powerful low-loss double magnet motor system, paired with a \u003cstrong\u003e28 mm ultra-lightweight soft dome tweeter\u003c\/strong\u003e positioned close to the cone for optimum driver integration. Its frequency range extends from \u003cstrong\u003e46 Hz to 25,000 Hz\u003c\/strong\u003e at 90 dB sensitivity, with a maximum SPL of 109 dB. A dedicated open-back enclosure with a recommended cavity volume of 15 to 100 litres, an audiophile-grade crossover with PPTC thermal protection, and DALI's wide dispersion design make the Phantom H-80 a true full-range in-wall speaker that needs no supplemental subwoofer in most residential applications. Sold individually, it is suited to both in-wall and in-ceiling installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e8-inch Wood Fibre Woofer with Low-Loss Double Magnet Motor\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Phantom H-80's 8-inch woofer uses DALI's signature paper pulp and wood fibre cone, a material chosen for its light, non-uniform structure that distributes resonance energy broadly and reproduces fine musical detail without the coloration of heavier or more rigid cone materials. The low-loss rubber surround and long-excursion spider allow the cone assembly to undergo large movements without mechanical stress, enabling the driver to generate substantial bass output from 46 Hz in an open-back enclosure relying on wall cavity volume. A double magnet motor system controls the cone via a powerful magnetic flux, ensuring that the cone starts and stops promptly in response to the audio signal for tight, precise bass and midrange reproduction. A PPTC (Polymeric Positive Temperature Coefficient device) resettable fuse is integrated into the audiophile-grade crossover, protecting the driver components from overheating during extended high-volume use in custom installation environments where playback may continue without the listener present. Speaker terminals are located directly on the crossover board for the shortest possible signal path, with spring-loaded grips providing a long-lasting, rattle-free connection to the speaker cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e28 mm Soft Dome Tweeter with Optimised Faceplate for Wide Dispersion\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Phantom H-80's tweeter uses an ultra-lightweight woven fabric diaphragm combined with a ferrite-driven magnet motor system that handles power efficiently and disperses voice coil heat rapidly, reducing power compression at sustained high listening levels. The tweeter front plate is positioned as close as possible to the dome, a deliberate design choice that optimises the dome's working conditions for an extended frequency response, minimised coloration, and wide off-axis dispersion. By locating the tweeter close to the woofer cone on the MDF front baffle, the physical distance between drivers is minimised for improved time alignment and a more coherent transition at the 2,350 Hz crossover point. The combination of the woofer and tweeter produces a coherent, highly detailed, and natural soundstage that extends into every corner of large rooms and home cinema spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSquare Open-Back Cabinet with Wide Dispersion Engineering\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Phantom H-80's square 13.2-inch x 13.2-inch format is suited to both in-wall and in-ceiling installation, with a recommended working cavity volume of 15 to 100 litres. The open-back enclosure design uses the wall or ceiling cavity as an acoustic chamber, meaning the bass performance benefits from and scales with the available cavity volume within the specified range. The solid MDF front baffle provides a rigid, resonance-damping platform for the drivers, and added thickness on the outer baffle edges improves the fit against the mounting area for a tighter, more secure installation. DALI's wide dispersion design philosophy, applied throughout all Phantom series speakers, is implemented in the H-80 through the optimised tweeter faceplate geometry and driver placement, producing a uniform energy distribution across a wide listening angle. This off-axis optimisation ensures that both the direct signal and the reflected signal in the room share the same high tonal quality, creating a consistent listening experience across a much wider area than typical in-wall speakers at this level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e8-inch Wood Fibre Cone Woofer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paper pulp and wood fibre cone with low-loss rubber surround and long-excursion spider.

It features a single 8-inch wood fibre cone woofer with a double magnet motor system and a 28 mm soft dome tweeter, crossing over at 2,350 Hz. Its frequency range extends from 46 Hz to 25,000 Hz at 90 dB sensitivity with a 109 dB maximum SPL. It uses an open-back enclosure design requiring a wall or ceiling cavity volume of 15 to 100 litres and is sold individually for use in both in-wall and in-ceiling positions. It is designed as a true full-range speaker that operates without a supplemental subwoofer in most residential applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the DALI Phantom H-80 compare to the Phantom S-80 and Phantom H-120?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Phantom H-80 and Phantom S-80 both use an 8-inch woofer in a compact in-wall format but belong to different product tiers. The S-80 applies DALI's EPICON-derived SMC magnet system and the full Hybrid Tweeter module with a planar ribbon element, placing it in the premium Phantom S series. The H-80 uses DALI's traditional double magnet motor technology and a single soft dome tweeter without a ribbon element, in an open-back enclosure suited to both wall and ceiling installation including square ceiling tile positions. The H-80's square format and lighter weight also make it a more practical choice for ceiling use. Compared to the Phantom H-120, the H-80 uses a single 8-inch woofer versus the H-120's 12-inch woofer, making the H-80 better suited to medium rooms, while the H-120 targets very large spaces where its greater bass depth and output capability are needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the DALI Phantom H-80 be installed in the ceiling as well as the wall?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the DALI Phantom H-80 is designed for both in-wall and in-ceiling installation. Its square 11.8-inch cut-out suits both ceiling tile grids and standard wall stud cavity widths. The open-back design takes advantage of the ceiling void above as an acoustic chamber, and the recommended 15 to 100 litre working volume is typically available in both standard wall cavities and domestic ceiling spaces. In ceiling installation, the wide dispersion characteristics of the tweeter ensure that sound is distributed broadly downward throughout the room rather than narrowly toward a single listening position directly below the speaker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the DALI Phantom H-80 require a subwoofer?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Phantom H-80 is positioned as a true full-range in-wall speaker that can operate without a supplemental subwoofer in most residential applications. Its 8-inch woofer reaches down to 46 Hz, covering the bass content of most music genres and a wide range of home cinema content. For the most demanding home cinema applications, particularly large-room installations reproducing low-frequency soundtrack content below 40 Hz at high levels, pairing the H-80 with a dedicated DALI subwoofer adds further bass extension and dynamic headroom. For background music, stereo listening, and moderate-level home cinema use, the H-80 performs as a standalone full-range system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the DALI Phantom H-80 in Toronto or Canada?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Phantom H-80 is available at Vinyl Sound, an authorised DALI dealer in Toronto, Canada. Vinyl Sound carries the full DALI Phantom H and S series and can provide advice on system design, cavity volume requirements, amplifier matching, and multi-room or home cinema installation planning. Purchasing from an authorised Canadian dealer ensures full DALI manufacturer warranty coverage and local professional support throughout the installation process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat amplifier or AV receiver is recommended for the DALI Phantom H-80?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Phantom H-80 is rated for 30 to 200 watts at a 6-ohm nominal impedance. Its 90 dB sensitivity makes it efficient and easy to drive from a wide range of amplifiers and AV receivers. AV receivers from brands such as Yamaha, Denon, Marantz, and Arcam with 6-ohm rated outputs in the 60 to 120 watt per channel range are well suited for home cinema multi-channel use. For custom install multi-room or background music systems, distributed audio amplifiers from brands such as NAD or Sonance provide clean power within the recommended range. The PPTC thermal protection built into the H-80's crossover adds a layer of safety for installations where the amplifier may occasionally be driven to high levels without direct supervision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much wall or ceiling cavity space does the DALI Phantom H-80 require?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Phantom H-80 requires a working cavity volume of between 15 and 100 litres behind the mounting surface. This is a wide tolerance that accommodates most standard domestic wall and ceiling construction. A smaller cavity closer to 15 litres tends to produce a slightly tighter, leaner bass character, while a larger cavity of 50 litres or more allows the woofer to reach its full low-frequency extension more naturally. In most standard timber stud wall construction, a single stud bay typically provides 20 to 30 litres, which falls within the acceptable range. In ceiling installations with a standard floor void above, the available volume usually exceeds the minimum requirement comfortably.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dali","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46846415307004,"sku":null,"price":900.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0116\/1773\/0617\/files\/DaliPhantomH-80VinylSound2.webp?v=1769914427"},{"product_id":"dali-phantom-h60","title":"Dali Phantom H-60 In-Wall Speaker (Each)","description":"\u003ch1\u003eDALI Phantom H-60 In-Wall Speaker at Vinyl Sound Toronto Canada\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Phantom H-60 is a compact two-way in-wall and in-ceiling speaker from DALI (Hobro, Denmark), available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada.

An audiophile-grade crossover with PPTC thermal protection, a solid MDF front baffle with thickened outer edges, and DALI's wide dispersion design make the H-60 a true full-range in-wall speaker equally suited to in-wall or in-ceiling installation in stereo pairs, home cinema front, centre, and surround positions. Sold individually, it is designed and engineered in Denmark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e6.5-inch Wood Fibre Woofer with Precise Low-Loss Motor Control\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Phantom H-60's 6.5-inch woofer is built around DALI's signature paper pulp and wood fibre cone, a lightweight material with a deliberately non-uniform fibre structure that distributes resonance energy broadly and reproduces fine musical detail without the coloration of heavier cones. A low-loss rubber surround and long-excursion spider allow the cone to move freely through a wide range without mechanical stress, producing a warm, full bass character from 51 Hz that is punchy and fast without sacrificing the naturalness and detail of the midrange frequencies. The powerful low-loss magnet system ensures that the cone starts and stops precisely in response to the audio signal, delivering accurate bass timing and definition. Speaker terminals are mounted directly on the crossover for the shortest signal path, with spring-loaded grips providing a secure, long-lasting cable connection in installed environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e28 mm Soft Dome Tweeter with Optimised Faceplate Position\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe H-60's tweeter uses an ultra-lightweight woven fabric diaphragm paired with a ferrite-driven magnet motor that dissipates voice coil heat rapidly, reducing power compression under sustained high-frequency output at elevated playback levels. The tweeter front plate is shaped and positioned as close as possible to the dome surface, a deliberate design choice that combines an extended frequency response with wide horizontal dispersion and low coloration. Placing the tweeter immediately adjacent to the woofer on the MDF front baffle minimises the acoustic distance between drivers, improving time alignment at the 1,900 Hz crossover point and producing a seamless, coherent transition between the bass and treble sections. Together the woofer and tweeter blend into a highly detailed, clear, and natural soundstage that extends evenly throughout the listening room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSquare Format for In-Wall and In-Ceiling Versatility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Phantom H-60's square 300 mm x 300 mm format with a 264 mm x 264 mm cut-out is well suited to both in-wall and in-ceiling installation. In ceiling tile grid systems, the square format aligns naturally with standard tile dimensions and ceiling suspension grids. In wall installation, the square cut-out provides flexibility in positioning that a fixed-format rectangular speaker cannot always match. An open-back enclosure design uses the wall or ceiling cavity as an acoustic working volume, with an optimum rear volume of 20 litres and an acceptable range of 10 to 35 litres. A solid MDF front baffle with added thickness on the outer baffle edges improves the mechanical connection between the speaker and the mounting surface, lowering transmitted vibration and further reducing distortion. DALI's wide dispersion engineering ensures that the H-60 projects consistent, high-quality sound off-axis as well as on-axis, making it a convincing full-room listener experience from any position in the room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAudiophile-Grade Crossover with PPTC Thermal Protection\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery component in the Phantom H-60's crossover has been individually selected for audiophile-grade performance. The PPTC (Polymeric Positive Temperature Coefficient) resettable fuse protects the driver components from overheating during extended high-volume use in unsupervised custom installation environments, such as background music systems where volume may be turned up accidentally without a listener present. Unlike a conventional fuse, the PPTC resets automatically when the speaker returns to normal operating temperature, requiring no manual intervention. All internal wiring is routed and secured to eliminate the possibility of rattling, maintaining clean, interference-free signal delivery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e6.5-inch Wood Fibre Cone Woofer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paper pulp and wood fibre cone with low-loss rubber surround and long-excursion spider.

It features a 6.5-inch wood fibre cone woofer with a powerful low-loss magnet system and a 28 mm soft dome tweeter, crossing over at 1,900 Hz. Its frequency range extends from 51 Hz to 25,000 Hz at 89 dB sensitivity with a 107 dB maximum SPL. It uses an open-back enclosure design with an optimum rear cavity volume of 20 litres, accommodates wall or ceiling thicknesses of 10 to 70 mm, and is sold individually for in-wall or in-ceiling installation in small to medium rooms. It is designed as a true full-range speaker that operates without a supplemental subwoofer in most small to medium room applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the DALI Phantom H-60 compare to the Phantom H-60 R and Phantom H-80?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Phantom H-60 and Phantom H-60 R share identical drivers, crossover, and specifications, differing only in cabinet shape: the H-60 is square at 300 mm x 300 mm, suited to both in-wall and in-ceiling installation including ceiling tile grids, while the H-60 R is rectangular at 414 mm x 244 mm, designed primarily for in-wall use where a horizontal format integrates more naturally with room proportions. The H-60 R also benefits from reduced cabinet edge diffraction due to its rectangular baffle geometry. Compared to the Phantom H-80, the H-60 uses a 6.5-inch woofer versus the H-80's 8-inch woofer, giving the H-80 a lower frequency limit of 46 Hz versus 51 Hz and a higher maximum SPL of 109 dB versus 107 dB, making the H-80 better suited to medium and large rooms while the H-60 is optimised for small to medium rooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the DALI Phantom H-60 be installed in the ceiling as well as the wall?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the DALI Phantom H-60 is designed for both in-wall and in-ceiling installation. Its square 264 mm x 264 mm cut-out is particularly well suited to ceiling tile grid systems and standard ceiling drywall installations. In ceiling use, the wide dispersion design ensures sound is distributed broadly throughout the room from above, and the recommended 10 to 35 litre cavity volume is typically available in standard domestic ceiling voids. DALI lists ceiling, front, centre, and surround as recommended placement positions for the H-60, reflecting its flexibility across different system configurations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the DALI Phantom H-60 require a subwoofer?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Phantom H-60 is designed as a true full-range in-wall speaker that can operate without a subwoofer in small to medium rooms. Its 6.5-inch woofer reaches down to 51 Hz, covering the bass range of most music genres and a wide range of home cinema dialogue and effects content. For home cinema installations in medium rooms reproducing demanding low-frequency soundtrack content, or where maximum bass impact is a priority, pairing with a DALI subwoofer adds the deep bass extension and dynamic headroom the H-60 cannot provide at its driver size. For background music, distributed audio systems, and moderate stereo listening, the H-60 performs as a standalone full-range system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the DALI Phantom H-60 in Toronto or Canada?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Phantom H-60 is available at Vinyl Sound, an authorised DALI dealer in Toronto, Canada. Vinyl Sound carries the full DALI Phantom H series and can assist with cavity volume planning, cut-out templates, amplifier matching, and multi-channel or distributed audio system design for custom installation projects. Purchasing from an authorised Canadian dealer ensures full DALI manufacturer warranty coverage and access to experienced local professional support throughout the installation process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat amplifier suits the DALI Phantom H-60?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Phantom H-60 is rated for 30 to 150 watts at a 6-ohm nominal impedance. Its 89 dB sensitivity makes it easy to drive from a wide range of amplifiers and AV receivers. AV receivers and multi-channel amplifiers from brands such as Yamaha, Denon, Marantz, and Arcam with 6-ohm rated outputs in the 50 to 100 watt per channel range are well matched for home cinema multi-channel configurations. For distributed background music and multi-room audio systems, amplifiers as modest as 30 watts per channel provide adequate output in smaller room installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much wall or ceiling cavity space does the DALI Phantom H-60 need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Phantom H-60 specifies a recommended rear volume of 10 to 35 litres, with an optimum of 20 litres. In standard timber stud wall construction, a single stud bay typically provides 15 to 25 litres depending on stud spacing and cavity depth, placing most standard installations within or near the optimum range. The dogleg mounting system accepts wall or ceiling thicknesses of 10 to 70 mm. In ceiling installations with a standard floor void above, the available volume typically exceeds the minimum requirement, allowing the woofer to reach its full bass extension comfortably.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dali","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46846415339772,"sku":null,"price":700.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0116\/1773\/0617\/files\/DaliPhantomH-60VinylSound2.webp?v=1737934666"},{"product_id":"dali-phantom-h50","title":"Dali Phantom H‑50 In‑Wall Speaker (Each)","description":"\u003ch1\u003eDALI Phantom H-50 In-Wall Speaker at Vinyl Sound Toronto Canada\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Phantom H-50 is the most compact speaker in DALI's Phantom H in-wall series, designed and engineered in Hobro, Denmark and available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada. Despite its small form factor, the H-50 delivers impressive clarity and a surprising quantity of bass from a \u003cstrong\u003e5.25-inch wood fibre woofer\u003c\/strong\u003e driven by a powerful low-loss magnet system, paired with a \u003cstrong\u003e28 mm ultra-lightweight soft dome tweeter\u003c\/strong\u003e positioned for optimum driver integration.

An audiophile-grade crossover with PPTC thermal protection, a solid MDF front baffle with thickened outer edges, and DALI's wide dispersion design complete the specification. Sold individually, it suits in-wall and in-ceiling installation equally well and is an ideal choice for small room stereo pairs, home cinema surround channels, height speakers, or distributed background music zones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e5.25-inch Wood Fibre Woofer: Compact Driver with Outsized Performance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Phantom H-50's 5.25-inch woofer uses DALI's signature paper pulp and wood fibre cone, a lightweight material with a deliberately non-uniform fibre structure that reproduces fine musical detail without the coloration of heavier or more rigid cones. A low-loss rubber surround and long-excursion spider allow the cone to travel freely through its full range of movement without mechanical stress, enabling the small woofer to generate bass output from 52 Hz that is disproportionate to its physical size. The powerful low-loss magnet system delivers precise motor control, ensuring the cone starts and stops accurately in response to the audio signal for tight, well-timed bass rather than the soft, poorly defined low-end that can characterise underpowered small-format in-wall speakers. Speaker terminals are located directly on the crossover board for the shortest signal path, with spring-loaded grips ensuring a secure, long-lasting cable connection in the wall environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e28 mm Soft Dome Tweeter with Close-Coupled Faceplate Design\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe H-50's 28 mm soft dome tweeter uses an ultra-lightweight woven fabric diaphragm paired with a ferrite-driven magnet motor that handles power efficiently and disperses voice coil heat rapidly, reducing power compression under sustained high-frequency output at elevated listening levels. The tweeter front plate is shaped and positioned as close as possible to the dome, optimising the dome's operating conditions for an extended frequency response, low coloration, and wide horizontal dispersion. Placing the tweeter physically adjacent to the woofer on the front baffle minimises the acoustic distance between drivers, improving time alignment at the 2,450 Hz crossover point and producing a seamless, coherent acoustic summation between the bass and treble sections. The result is a highly detailed, clear, and natural soundstage that outperforms the physical scale of the speaker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSolid MDF Front Baffle with PPTC Crossover Protection\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Phantom H-50's front baffle is constructed from solid MDF, providing a rigid, acoustically damped platform for both drivers. Extra thickness is added to the outer edges of the baffle trim, improving the mechanical contact between the speaker and the mounting surface and increasing overall assembly rigidity. This tighter wall interface further reduces transmitted vibration, lowering distortion and maintaining clean acoustic performance in long-term installations. An audiophile-grade crossover with all components individually selected for performance includes a PPTC (Polymeric Positive Temperature Coefficient) resettable fuse. In unsupervised custom installation environments such as background music systems, the PPTC limits current to the drivers if they risk overheating, preventing permanent damage without requiring manual fuse replacement. All internal wiring is routed and secured to prevent rattling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSquare Format for In-Wall and In-Ceiling Flexibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Phantom H-50's square 275 mm x 275 mm format with a 239 mm x 239 mm cut-out suits both in-wall and in-ceiling installation, including compatibility with standard ceiling tile grid dimensions. Its recommended rear cavity volume of 5 to 25 litres, with an optimum of 12 litres, is the smallest working volume in the Phantom H series, reflecting the 5.25-inch woofer's more compact acoustic environment needs. This smaller cavity requirement means the H-50 is practical in wall cavities that would be insufficient for the larger H-60 or H-80 models. The dogleg clamp mounting system accepts wall or ceiling thicknesses of 10 to 70 mm for compatibility with a wide range of standard construction types. DALI's wide dispersion design ensures that sound is distributed broadly and consistently off-axis in both in-wall and in-ceiling positions, creating a large and even listening area from any seating position in the room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5.25-inch Wood Fibre Cone Woofer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paper pulp and wood fibre cone with low-loss rubber surround and long-excursion spider.

It is a two-way open-back in-wall and in-ceiling speaker featuring a 5.25-inch wood fibre cone woofer with a powerful low-loss magnet system and a 28 mm soft dome tweeter, crossing over at 2,450 Hz. Its frequency range extends from 52 Hz to 25,000 Hz at 88 dB sensitivity with a 105 dB maximum SPL. It requires a rear cavity volume of 5 to 25 litres with an optimum of 12 litres, and accommodates wall or ceiling thicknesses of 10 to 70 mm. Sold individually for in-wall or in-ceiling installation, it is designed as a true full-range speaker suited to small rooms without a supplemental subwoofer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the DALI Phantom H-50 compare to the Phantom H-60 and Phantom H-80?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Phantom H-50 is the smallest and most compact model in the Phantom H series. Compared to the H-60, the H-50 uses a 5.25-inch woofer versus the H-60's 6.5-inch driver, giving the H-60 a slightly lower frequency limit of 51 Hz versus 52 Hz and a higher maximum SPL of 107 dB versus 105 dB. The H-50 also has a smaller optimum rear volume of 12 litres versus 20 litres, making it practical in tighter wall or ceiling cavities where the H-60 cannot be used. The H-80 steps up to an 8-inch woofer with a 46 Hz lower limit and 109 dB maximum SPL, suited to medium and large rooms. The H-50 is the correct choice for small rooms, height speaker positions, distributed background audio, and any application where the H-60 or H-80 cut-out dimensions are too large.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the DALI Phantom H-50 be installed in the ceiling as well as the wall?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the DALI Phantom H-50 is designed for both in-wall and in-ceiling installation. Its compact square 9.41-inch x 9.41-inch cut-out is well suited to ceiling tile grid systems and standard ceiling drywall installations. In ceiling use, the small 5 to 25 litre required rear volume is typically available even in ceiling voids with limited depth, and the wide dispersion design ensures sound is distributed broadly throughout the room from above. DALI lists ceiling, front, centre, and surround as recommended placement positions for the H-50, reflecting its flexibility across different system configurations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the DALI Phantom H-50 require a subwoofer?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Phantom H-50 is designed as a true full-range in-wall speaker that can operate without a subwoofer in small rooms. Its 5.25-inch woofer and long-excursion design reach down to 52 Hz, covering most musical bass content and home cinema dialogue and general effects in small-room applications. For more demanding home cinema use in larger spaces, or where deep low-frequency impact is a priority, pairing with a DALI subwoofer adds the extension and headroom that the H-50's driver size cannot provide. For background music, distributed audio, stereo listening in small rooms, and height or surround speaker positions in multi-channel systems, the H-50 performs as a standalone full-range speaker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the DALI Phantom H-50 in Toronto or Canada?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Phantom H-50 is available at Vinyl Sound, an authorised DALI dealer in Toronto, Canada. Vinyl Sound carries the full DALI Phantom H series and can assist with cavity volume planning, cut-out templates, amplifier matching, and multi-channel or distributed audio system design for custom installation projects. Purchasing from an authorised Canadian dealer ensures full DALI manufacturer warranty coverage and local professional support throughout the installation process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat amplifier suits the DALI Phantom H-50?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Phantom H-50 is rated for 30 to 120 watts at a 6-ohm nominal impedance. Its 88 dB sensitivity is modest but adequate for small room installations from a wide range of AV receivers and custom install amplifiers. AV receivers from brands such as Yamaha, Denon, and Marantz with 6-ohm rated outputs in the 50 to 100 watt per channel range work well for home cinema multi-channel use. For distributed background music and multi-room audio systems, amplifiers at the lower end of the power range are sufficient for small room coverage. The PPTC thermal protection in the crossover adds a layer of safety for unsupervised volume levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the smallest wall or ceiling cavity that works with the DALI Phantom H-50?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Phantom H-50 requires a minimum rear cavity volume of 5 litres, with an optimum of 12 litres and an upper limit of 25 litres. At 5 litres minimum, this is the most accommodating specification in the DALI Phantom H series, making the H-50 practical in narrow stud bay constructions, shallow ceiling voids, and partition wall installations where the larger models cannot be used. The 92 mm mounting depth and dogleg mounting system accommodating 10 to 70 mm wall or ceiling thickness give it broad compatibility across standard domestic construction types without modification.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dali","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46846415372540,"sku":null,"price":550.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0116\/1773\/0617\/files\/DaliPhantomH-50VinylSound2.webp?v=1737935105"},{"product_id":"dali-phantom-iw-sub-s100","title":"Dali Phantom IW Sub S-100 Subwoofer (Each)","description":"\u003ch1\u003eDALI PHANTOM IW SUB S-100 In-Wall Subwoofer at Vinyl Sound Toronto Canada\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe PHANTOM IW SUB S-100 is a 10-inch in-wall, on-wall, and floor-mount subwoofer from DALI (Danish Audiophile Loudspeaker Industries, Allerød, Denmark), available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada. Introduced at CEDIA Expo 2023 in Denver and the first DALI speaker to feature Constant Surface Surround (CSS) technology co-developed with Purifi Audio in Denmark, the SUB S-100 brings audiophile-grade bass to architecturally invisible installations.

The fully enclosed integrated backbox requires no separate cavity preparation, and eight spring-loaded dogleg brackets secure it into almost any standard wall. The SUB S-100 is engineered to be paired exclusively with the PHANTOM CI AMP-2500 DSP amplifier for perfectly matched, DSP-optimised performance in any custom installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eConstant Surface Surround (CSS) Technology: Low Distortion, High Excursion\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PHANTOM IW SUB S-100 is the first DALI speaker to incorporate Constant Surface Surround technology, co-developed with Purifi Audio in Denmark and previously exclusive to standalone subwoofer driver applications. CSS replaces the conventional half-roll surround geometry with a unique pattern of alternating positive and negative stepped and curved sections. The result is a surround that maintains a constant radiating surface area regardless of the position of the diaphragm, eliminating the surround modulation distortion mechanism that affects conventional driver designs. The SUB S-100 driver shares design principles with the bass driver in the ultra-shallow DALI PHANTOM K-60 LP in-wall speaker, combining long-throw excursion capability with a profile shallow enough for standard wall installation. The custom aluminum cone is engineered for exceptional stiffness, preserving cone rigidity under the high-excursion demands of bass reproduction at elevated output levels without flexing or deforming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eUltra-Shallow Profile and Integrated Backbox: Effortless Installation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SUB S-100's fully enclosed cabinet has a mounting depth of just 102 mm, making it compatible with almost any standard residential wall construction without modification. Unlike most in-wall subwoofers that require a separately built backbox, the PHANTOM IW SUB S-100 ships as a complete, self-contained unit with its own rigid, low-resonance enclosure integrated into the speaker body. A supplied cut-out template ensures precise positioning, and eight spring-loaded dogleg brackets lock the unit securely into the wall opening without tools or additional hardware. For installations where wall mounting is not possible or preferred, the optional DALI on-wall frame allows the SUB S-100 to be placed on the floor beneath a sofa, TV console, or cabinetry, maintaining a discreet profile while delivering full bass performance. All three installation configurations, in-wall, on-wall, and floor placement, are supported from the same unit without modification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey

It features a custom long-throw aluminum CSS driver, an integrated backbox, a 102 mm mounting depth, a frequency range of 26 Hz to 250 Hz, and a maximum SPL of 110 dB. Introduced at CEDIA Expo 2023 and awarded the TNT Award by CE Pro and Commercial Integrator at ISE 2024, the SUB S-100 is designed for discreet in-wall, on-wall, or floor installation in both home cinema and high-performance stereo environments, and is engineered to be driven exclusively by the PHANTOM CI AMP-2500 DSP amplifier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the DALI PHANTOM IW SUB S-100 compare to the KEF Ci200RLb and SVS in-wall subwoofers?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI PHANTOM IW SUB S-100 differentiates itself from the KEF Ci200RLb and SVS in-wall subwoofer offerings in two key areas: driver technology and system integration. The KEF Ci200RLb uses a conventional rubber surround and relies on its passive radiator design for extension, while SVS in-wall subwoofers are typically paired with external plate amplifiers of the customer's choice. The PHANTOM IW SUB S-100 is the only in-wall subwoofer in its class to use Constant Surface Surround technology co-developed with Purifi Audio, which eliminates surround modulation distortion at the driver level. It is also designed as a closed-loop system with the CI AMP-2500 DSP amplifier, which includes model-specific DSP presets tuned to the SUB S-100's exact acoustic profile, offering a level of factory-matched optimisation that generic amplifier pairings cannot replicate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the DALI PHANTOM IW SUB S-100 be used on-wall or on the floor instead of in a wall?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the DALI PHANTOM IW SUB S-100 supports three installation configurations: in-wall, on-wall, and floor placement. For on-wall and floor installations, the optional DALI on-wall frame is required. This allows the SUB S-100 to be positioned beneath a sofa, TV console, or piece of furniture for a visually hidden installation in rooms where wall mounting is not practical or permitted. All three configurations use the same hardware unit without modification, providing significant flexibility for retrofit installations and rental properties where wall cutting is not possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is Constant Surface Surround (CSS) technology in the SUB S-100?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConstant Surface Surround is a driver surround technology co-developed by DALI and Purifi Audio that uses a geometric pattern of alternating positive and negative stepped and curved sections in the rubber surround. This pattern keeps the driver's radiating surface area constant throughout the full excursion cycle, regardless of whether the cone is moving inward or outward. A conventional half-roll surround changes shape asymmetrically during excursion, which varies the effective radiating area and introduces distortion. CSS eliminates this distortion mechanism entirely, producing measurably cleaner bass at all output levels. The PHANTOM IW SUB S-100 was the first DALI speaker to use this technology, which has since been deployed in the flagship DALI SUB V-16 F.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat amplifier does the DALI PHANTOM IW SUB S-100 require?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI PHANTOM IW SUB S-100 is engineered for exclusive use with the PHANTOM CI AMP-2500 DSP amplifier. The CI AMP-2500 DSP delivers 2 x 500 watts of Class-D amplification and can be bridged to 1,000 watts mono. A single CI AMP-2500 DSP can drive up to four SUB S-100 units simultaneously, making it suitable for both single-subwoofer stereo installations and multi-subwoofer large home cinema configurations. The amplifier includes model-specific DSP presets pre-loaded for the SUB S-100, along with parametric EQ, audio limiters, driver alignment delay, phase control, and a web-based configurator interface accessible via the DALI CONFIGURATOR app on any Wi-Fi-enabled device.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the DALI PHANTOM IW SUB S-100 in Toronto or Canada?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI PHANTOM IW SUB S-100 is available in Toronto and across Canada at Vinyl Sound, an authorised DALI dealer. Vinyl Sound can advise on installation configurations, PHANTOM series speaker matching, and the complete DALI PHANTOM CI home cinema solution including the CI AMP-2500 DSP amplifier. Purchasing from an authorised dealer ensures full DALI manufacturer warranty coverage and access to professional installation support throughout Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow many DALI PHANTOM IW SUB S-100 units do I need for a large home cinema?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA single DALI PHANTOM IW SUB S-100 is suitable for small to medium rooms, while larger dedicated home cinema environments benefit from two or more units for improved bass distribution and increased maximum output headroom. A single PHANTOM CI AMP-2500 DSP amplifier can power up to four SUB S-100 subwoofers simultaneously, making it straightforward to scale from a 2.1 or 5.1 installation up to a more ambitious multi-subwoofer configuration without additional amplifier hardware. Vinyl Sound can recommend the appropriate number of units based on room size, seating position, and target output level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the DALI PHANTOM IW SUB S-100 suitable for a stereo hi-fi system as well as home cinema?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the DALI PHANTOM IW SUB S-100 is equally suited to high-performance stereo systems and multichannel home cinema setups. Its wide frequency range of 26 Hz to 250 Hz and low distortion CSS driver make it capable of reproducing the low-frequency fundamentals of acoustic instruments, jazz, classical, and rock recordings with the speed and pitch accuracy that music listening demands. For rooms where a conventional freestanding subwoofer is aesthetically incompatible, the SUB S-100 provides a discreet alternative that delivers comparable performance without occupying floor space or disrupting interior design.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dali","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46846415405308,"sku":null,"price":3000.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0116\/1773\/0617\/files\/DaliPhantomIWSubS-100VinylSound2.webp?v=1737936364"},{"product_id":"dali-phantom-ci-amp2500","title":"Dali Phantom Ci Amp-2500 Amplifier","description":"\u003ch1\u003eDALI Phantom CI AMP-2500 DSP Amplifier at Vinyl Sound Toronto Canada\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Phantom CI AMP-2500 DSP is a two-channel custom installation power amplifier from DALI (Struer, Denmark), available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada.

This driver lineage ensures that the IO-8 reproduces music with the same low-loss, low-coloration character that defines DALI's loudspeaker sound. Hi-Res Audio certification confirms that the IO-8 meets the Japan Audio Society's standard for high-resolution playback, validating its 10 Hz to 43,000 Hz frequency range and 24-bit audio handling for listeners who demand the full resolution of high-resolution music files and streaming services.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAudiophile Active Noise Cancellation and Sound Modes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe IO-8's Audiophile Active Noise Cancellation is tuned specifically by DALI's engineers to remove ambient distractions without introducing the tonal colouration or soundstage compression that affects many competing ANC implementations.

Two onboard sound modes, Hi-Fi and Bass, provide a choice between a tonally accurate presentation faithful to the recording and a bass-weighted character suited to genres that benefit from enhanced low-frequency impact.

It covers a frequency range of 10 Hz to 43,000 Hz, supports 24-bit audio at 96 kHz, weighs 325 g, and is available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the DALI IO-8 compare to the IO-12?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI IO-8 and IO-12 share the same 50 mm paper fibre cone driver architecture, Bluetooth 5.2 with aptX Adaptive, three-mode Audiophile ANC, 35-hour battery life, and Hi-Fi and Bass sound modes. The key distinction is that the IO-12 adds DALI's patented SMC (Soft Magnetic Composite) magnet system to the driver, the world's first application of this technology to a headphone, which further reduces eddy current and hysteresis distortion for even lower harmonic distortion and greater musical detail retrieval. The IO-12 also extends frequency response to 48,000 Hz versus the IO-8's 43,000 Hz and uses real leather ear pads and headband versus the IO-8's textile construction. The IO-8 inherits the IO-12's electronics and is lighter at 325 g versus 370 g.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does Hi-Res Audio certification mean for the DALI IO-8?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHi-Res Audio certification, awarded by the Japan Audio Society, confirms that the DALI IO-8 meets a defined technical standard for high-resolution audio playback. Certified products must reproduce audio content at a minimum of 40,000 Hz frequency response and support 24-bit digital audio, thresholds that the IO-8 meets with its 10 Hz to 43,000 Hz range and 16 to 24-bit input format support. For listeners streaming from Tidal, Qobuz, or Apple Music Lossless, or playing locally stored high-resolution files, the IO-8's Hi-Res certification confirms it is technically capable of resolving the full content of those recordings without limitation from the headphone hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does DALI's Audiophile Active Noise Cancellation differ from standard ANC?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDALI's Audiophile Active Noise Cancellation is distinguished from standard consumer ANC by its tuning priority. Most consumer ANC systems are optimised primarily for maximum noise attenuation, sometimes at the cost of tonal accuracy, dynamic naturalness, or soundstage width in the audio signal. DALI's approach tunes the ANC processing specifically to preserve the musical integrity of the audio passing through the IO-8's drivers, ensuring that noise cancellation does not introduce colouration or compression into the listening experience. Three selectable modes allow the balance between attenuation depth and audio transparency to be adjusted for different environments, from quiet home listening to noisier commuting conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the DALI IO-8 be used without the battery charged?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the DALI IO-8 operates in passive wired mode via the 3.5 mm mini jack when the battery is depleted or when a direct analog connection is preferred. In passive mode the impedance is 25 ohms, making the IO-8 compatible with most headphone outputs on integrated amplifiers, AV receivers, and portable audio players. Active functions including Bluetooth wireless, ANC, and sound mode switching require battery power and are unavailable in passive mode. USB-C wired digital audio input also requires the battery to be active for signal processing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the DALI IO-8 in Toronto or Canada?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI IO-8 is available at Vinyl Sound, an authorised DALI dealer in Toronto, Canada. Vinyl Sound serves customers across the Greater Toronto Area and ships throughout Canada. Vinyl Sound also carries the DALI IO-12 flagship headphones and the full DALI loudspeaker portfolio for customers building a complete DALI audio system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat amplifier or source works best with the DALI IO-8 in wired mode?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI IO-8 operates at 25 ohms impedance in passive wired mode, making it straightforward to drive from virtually any headphone output. Dedicated headphone amplifiers such as the iFi Audio Zen CAN, Chord Mojo 2, or Schiit Magni pair well for home Hi-Fi listening and allow the IO-8's full resolution capability to be realised from high-quality digital sources. For turntable and vinyl listening, connecting via the headphone output of an integrated amplifier with a built-in phono stage, such as the NAD C 338 or Cambridge Audio AXA35, provides a straightforward and high-quality wired listening path. USB-C digital connection to a computer or streamer bypasses the source device's analog output stage for a cleaner signal path when the source supports USB audio output.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dali","offers":[{"title":"Iron Black","offer_id":46846415667452,"sku":null,"price":899.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Caramel White","offer_id":46846415700220,"sku":null,"price":899.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0116\/1773\/0617\/files\/DaliIO-8VinylSoundIronBlack2.webp?v=1737950665"},{"product_id":"dali-io-12","title":"Dali Io-12 Wireless Over-Ear Headphones","description":"\u003ch1\u003eDALI IO-12 Wireless Over-Ear Headphones at Vinyl Sound Toronto Canada\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI IO-12 are flagship wireless over-ear headphones from DALI (Struer, Denmark), available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada.

With real leather headband and ear pads, Hi-Fi and Bass sound mode switching, and full wired operation via 3.5 mm jack or USB-C, the IO-12 is engineered to be the only pair of headphones a serious music listener will ever need.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWorld-First SMC Driver Technology\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI IO-12 is the world's first headphone to incorporate an SMC-based magnet system in its driver. Soft Magnetic Composite is the same proprietary material used in the magnet assemblies of DALI's reference EPICON cabinet speakers, and its application to headphone driver design represents a fundamental engineering advance in personal audio. Conventional ferrite and neodymium magnet systems generate eddy currents and magnetic hysteresis as the voice coil moves through the magnetic field, producing uneven harmonic distortion that colours the sound and obscures low-level musical detail. SMC dramatically reduces both phenomena by offering a high magnetic permeability with very low electrical conductivity, resulting in a measurably cleaner, lower-distortion magnetic circuit. The 50 mm driver pairs this SMC magnet system with a rigid paper fibre cone and a low-loss rubber surround, applying the same low-loss design principles that define DALI's full-size loudspeaker engineering to a headphone driver for the first time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAudiophile Active Noise Cancellation and Sound Modes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe IO-12's Audiophile Active Noise Cancellation system offers three selectable AANC modes that can be tailored to the listening environment, whether at home, commuting, or in an open office. The system targets low-frequency noise, the most acoustically fatiguing component of ambient sound, while preserving the transparency of the audio signal passing through the headphone drivers. Two onboard sound modes, Hi-Fi and Bass, allow the frequency response character to be switched between a tonally accurate Hi-Fi presentation faithful to the recording and a more bass-weighted profile for listeners who prefer enhanced low-frequency impact. Both modes operate in wired and wireless configurations, giving the listener full control over the listening experience regardless of source.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWired and Wireless Versatility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI IO-12 connects via Bluetooth 5.2 with support for AAC, aptX, aptX HD, and aptX Adaptive codecs, the last of which delivers adaptive bitrate wireless audio up to 24-bit resolution at sample rates from 32 kHz to 96 kHz. For wired listening with a Hi-Fi source or turntable setup, a 3.5 mm mini jack input provides passive analog connectivity at 25 ohms impedance, while USB-C enables both digital audio input and charging from a single cable. Battery life reaches up to 35 hours of wireless playback from the integrated lithium-ion cell, with battery-level LEDs and an onboard voice prompt system providing charge status at a glance.

It supports wired listening via 3.5 mm jack and USB-C and is available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the DALI IO-12 compare to other premium wireless headphones?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI IO-12 occupies a distinct position among premium wireless headphones through its use of SMC magnet driver technology, a feature not available in any competing headphone. Alternatives such as the Sony WH-1000XM5, Bowers and Wilkins Px8, and Sennheiser Momentum 4 Wireless all offer active noise cancellation and high-quality Bluetooth codecs but use conventional ferrite or neodymium magnet driver systems that do not address eddy current and hysteresis distortion at the driver level. The IO-12's 10 Hz to 48,000 Hz frequency range also exceeds the specified range of most competitors, and its real leather construction and Hi-Fi sound mode tuning reflect a prioritisation of audiophile listening quality over consumer feature sets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is SMC and why does it matter in the DALI IO-12?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSMC, or Soft Magnetic Composite, is a proprietary DALI magnet material used in the IO-12's headphone driver and previously in DALI's reference EPICON loudspeaker series. In conventional headphone drivers, the alternating magnetic fields generated by voice coil movement induce eddy currents in the magnet assembly, and the magnetic domains within the magnet material resist realignment with each current cycle, a phenomenon called hysteresis. Both effects introduce non-linear distortion into the driver's output. SMC offers high magnetic permeability combined with very low electrical conductivity, dramatically reducing eddy currents, and its composite grain structure minimises hysteresis losses. The audible result is measurably lower harmonic distortion and greater retrieval of fine musical detail compared to conventional magnet systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the DALI IO-12 support high-resolution audio wirelessly?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the DALI IO-12 supports high-resolution wireless audio through its implementation of Bluetooth aptX Adaptive. AptX Adaptive is an adaptive bitrate codec that scales from 279 kbps to 420 kbps and supports 24-bit audio at sample rates up to 96 kHz, covering the full resolution of high-resolution music files from streaming services such as Tidal and Qobuz and local high-resolution libraries. Wired USB-C connection also accepts 16 to 24-bit audio at 32, 44.1, 48, and 96 kHz sample rates. A compatible aptX Adaptive source device is required for wireless high-resolution playback.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Audiophile Active Noise Cancellation on the IO-12 work?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI IO-12 Audiophile Active Noise Cancellation system uses external microphones to sample ambient sound and generates an inverse waveform that cancels incoming noise before it reaches the listener's ear. The system offers three selectable AANC modes that adjust the intensity and character of the noise cancellation to suit different environments, from a fully immersive home listening mode to a commute-optimised setting that attenuates low-frequency transport noise while maintaining some awareness of the surroundings. DALI's Audiophile designation reflects a design priority of preserving the transparency and tonal accuracy of the audio signal through the ANC processing, avoiding the soundstage compression and coloration that affects some competing ANC implementations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the DALI IO-12 in Toronto or Canada?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI IO-12 is available at Vinyl Sound, an authorised DALI dealer in Toronto, Canada. Vinyl Sound serves customers across the Greater Toronto Area and ships throughout Canada. Vinyl Sound also carries the broader DALI IO headphone range and DALI loudspeaker portfolio for customers looking to build a complete DALI audio system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the DALI IO-12 be used passively without battery power?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the DALI IO-12 can be used in passive wired mode via the 3.5 mm mini jack input when the battery is depleted or when a direct analog connection to a Hi-Fi amplifier or headphone amplifier is preferred. In passive mode the impedance is 25 ohms, making the IO-12 compatible with most headphone outputs on integrated amplifiers, AV receivers, and portable digital audio players without requiring a dedicated high-powered headphone amplifier. Active features including Bluetooth, ANC, and sound mode switching are unavailable in passive mode.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dali","offers":[{"title":"Dark Chocolate","offer_id":46846415732988,"sku":null,"price":1299.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Mocha Grey","offer_id":48724314980604,"sku":null,"price":1299.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0116\/1773\/0617\/files\/DaliIO-12VinylSoundDarkChoclate5.webp?v=1737966839"},{"product_id":"dali-sonik-9-floorstanding-speakers","title":"Dali SONIK 9 Floorstanding Speakers (Pair)","description":"\u003ch1\u003eDALI SONIK 9 Floorstanding Speakers at Vinyl Sound Toronto Canada\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe SONIK 9 is the flagship floorstanding speaker from DALI (Hobro, Denmark), available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada.

At 90 dB sensitivity and a recommended amplifier power of 50 to 300 watts, the SONIK 9 drives with ease while scaling impressively with high-quality amplification. The SONIK series represents the most significant evolution of DALI's accessible hi-fi philosophy since the globally successful OBERON range, incorporating technology derived directly from DALI's flagship KORE, EPIKORE, and EPICON loudspeaker families.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHybrid Tweeter Module: First Time in a DALI Accessible Speaker\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SONIK 9 marks the first time DALI has brought its renowned Hybrid Tweeter module to a speaker at this performance level. A 29 mm ultra-light soft dome tweeter is paired with a 17 x 45 mm planar magnetostatic tweeter, both mounted on a newly developed aluminium faceplate for enhanced structural rigidity, bandwidth, and thermal performance. The soft dome handles the core treble range with pistonic speed and dynamic impact, while the planar element is configured to take over at 14,000 Hz, delivering the exceptional air, finesse, and dispersion extension that define the upper registers of live musical performances. Together they create a wide listening window, making the entire room the sweet spot rather than restricting fine high-frequency detail to a narrow on-axis position.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eClarity Cone Woofers with SMC Essential Magnet Technology\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll three 7-inch bass and midrange drivers in the SONIK 9 use DALI's Clarity Cone technology, a proprietary paper and wood-fibre cone construction developed for controlled resonance behaviour, low coloration, and natural midrange coherence. Each driver is powered by a dual-magnet motor system featuring a ferrite ring surrounding a hybrid iron and SMC (Soft Magnetic Composite) pole piece. By placing the SMC material directly in the voice coil's working zone, DALI's patented SMC Essential system dramatically reduces magnetic hysteresis and eddy current distortion, the principal sources of non-linear, third-order harmonic distortion in conventional driver designs. The result is a more relaxed, effortless midrange character and finer retrieval of low-level musical detail, especially at higher playback levels where conventional motors tend to compress and harden in character. Exclusively for the SONIK 9, each 7-inch woofer is fitted with a larger diaphragm and powerful double magnets to provide additional focused magnetic field strength, lower mechanical loss, and extra dynamic headroom beyond what the smaller models in the SONIK range offer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCabinet Engineering and Structural Design\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SONIK 9 enclosure is constructed from CNC-machined MDF with rigid internal bracing throughout. Separate internal chambers are provided for the bass drivers, reducing unwanted acoustic interaction between drivers and improving timing accuracy and bass definition. The front baffle features aluminium tweeter faceplates inspired by DALI's EPIKORE series, and drivers are recessed into the baffle for optimal stability and airflow. Aluminium spike outriggers fitted to the base provide rock-solid mechanical stability on any floor surface while contributing to the speaker's understated Scandinavian aesthetic.

It is a three-and-a-half-way bass reflex design featuring three 7-inch Clarity Cone woofers with dual-magnet SMC Essential motors, and a Hybrid Tweeter module combining a 29 mm soft dome with a 17 x 45 mm planar magnetostatic tweeter. The SONIK 9 covers a frequency range of 34 Hz to 30,000 Hz, achieves 90 dB sensitivity, and handles amplifier power from 50 to 300 watts. It is the natural successor to the globally successful DALI OBERON series and is engineered specifically for large rooms and high-performance listening environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the DALI SONIK 9 compare to the DALI OBERON 9 and OPTICON 8 MK2?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI SONIK 9 replaces and substantially improves upon the OBERON 9 in DALI's product range. Compared to the OBERON 9, the SONIK 9 adds the Hybrid Tweeter module with its planar magnetostatic element, Clarity Cone driver technology with the embossed five-spoke pattern for reduced break-up modes, and the dual-magnet SMC Essential motor system, all of which were not present in the OBERON range. Compared to the OPTICON 8 MK2, the SONIK 9 is positioned below it in DALI's lineup, but the SONIK 9 features three 7-inch drivers versus the OPTICON 8 MK2's two 8-inch woofers, slightly higher sensitivity at 90 dB, and extends lower to 34 Hz. The OPTICON 8 MK2 brings a dedicated 6.5-inch midrange driver and a hand-assembled Danish build for a step up in driver separation and construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the DALI SONIK 9 be used as a front speaker in a home cinema system?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the DALI SONIK 9 is well suited to home cinema use as front left and right channels. Its wide bandwidth of 34 Hz to 30,000 Hz, 111 dB maximum SPL, and the broad horizontal dispersion of its Hybrid Tweeter module make it equally capable in multi-channel surround configurations as in two-channel stereo listening. DALI has positioned the entire SONIK series as a true all-rounder for music and movies, and the SONIK 9's dynamic headroom and bass authority make it a natural anchor for high-performance home theatre front channels. It pairs directly with the SONIK CINEMA centre channel speaker for a cohesive DALI system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the Clarity Cone technology in the SONIK 9?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClarity Cone is DALI's proprietary driver diaphragm technology used in the SONIK 9's three 7-inch woofers. It is constructed from a carefully tuned blend of paper and wood fibre, shaped into a lightweight cone with an embossed five-spoke pattern pressed into the diaphragm surface. This pattern, derived from technology in DALI's flagship EPIKORE series, controls the resonance break-up modes of the cone at higher frequencies, reducing coloration and improving midrange coherence. The result is a driver that plays cleanly and naturally across a wide dynamic range, with minimal added texture or distortion from the cone itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the DALI SONIK 9 in Toronto or Canada?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI SONIK 9 is available at Vinyl Sound, an authorised DALI dealer in Toronto, Canada. Vinyl Sound carries the full DALI SONIK series and can assist with in-store demonstrations, system matching consultation, and delivery across Canada. Purchasing from an authorised Canadian dealer ensures full manufacturer warranty coverage and access to local after-sales support from a knowledgeable team.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat amplifier pairs well with the DALI SONIK 9?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI SONIK 9 works with amplifiers rated between 50 and 300 watts into a 4-ohm load. Its 90 dB sensitivity is higher than average for a speaker of this size, meaning it reaches comfortable listening levels with relatively modest amplification. The SMC Essential magnet system also produces a smooth impedance curve that is described as particularly amplifier-friendly. Integrated amplifiers from brands such as NAD, Rotel, Cambridge Audio, and Hegel in the 80 to 150 watt per channel range are a strong match, while the SONIK 9 scales well with high-quality power amplifiers in more ambitious systems. A stable current delivery into 4 ohms is beneficial at higher listening levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow far from the rear wall should the DALI SONIK 9 be placed?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDALI recommends positioning the SONIK 9 between 20 and 120 cm from the rear wall. This range gives considerable flexibility depending on room size and acoustics. Placing the speakers closer to the rear wall reinforces bass weight and can suit rooms with more absorption, while pulling them further into the room opens up the soundstage, improves stereo image depth, and allows the bass reflex port to breathe freely. A toe-in angle can be adjusted to taste: slight toe-in tightens the stereo image for a focused listening position, while reduced toe-in takes advantage of the Hybrid Tweeter's wide dispersion to create a broader, more diffuse soundstage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the DALI SONIK 9 a significant upgrade over the DALI OBERON 9?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the SONIK 9 represents a substantial generational improvement over the OBERON 9. The most meaningful additions are the Hybrid Tweeter module with its planar magnetostatic element, which was not available in any OBERON model, and the Clarity Cone driver technology with its embossed resonance-control pattern inherited from the EPIKORE flagship series. The dual-magnet SMC Essential motor system in the SONIK 9's woofers also provides a more focused magnetic field and greater dynamic headroom than the single-magnet configuration used in the OBERON range. Press coverage from Audio T noted noticeably improved clarity, greater dynamic expression, and lower perceived distortion when comparing SONIK models directly against their OBERON predecessors.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dali","offers":[{"title":"Natural Oak","offer_id":48724295287036,"sku":null,"price":4500.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White","offer_id":48724295319804,"sku":null,"price":4500.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black Ash","offer_id":48724295352572,"sku":null,"price":4500.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Walnut","offer_id":48724295385340,"sku":null,"price":4500.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0116\/1773\/0617\/files\/DaliSONIK9FloorstandingSpeakers_Pair_1.png?v=1769827620"},{"product_id":"dali-sonik-7-floorstanding-speakers-pair","title":"Dali SONIK 7 Floorstanding Speakers (Pair)","description":"\u003ch1\u003eDALI SONIK 7 Floorstanding Speakers at Vinyl Sound Toronto Canada\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI SONIK 7 is a 2.5-way floorstanding loudspeaker from DALI (Skive, Denmark), available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada.

The soft dome handles the critical upper midrange and lower treble from 2,300Hz, providing wide horizontal dispersion and a smooth, natural high-frequency character suited to both music and cinematic content. The planar ribbon super-tweeter takes over from 14,000Hz, extending response to 30kHz with the characteristic speed and air of planar magnetostatic technology, reproducing the harmonic overtones and spatial information in the upper octaves that contribute to the sense of presence and natural instrument timbre in music playback. The combination delivers wide, consistent dispersion across the treble range, ensuring that listeners seated off-axis enjoy the same clarity and detail as those positioned directly on the primary listening axis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDual 7-Inch Clarity Cone SMC Essential Drivers and 2.5-Way Architecture\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SONIK 7's dual 7-inch bass and midrange drivers apply DALI's KORE-inspired Clarity Cone Technology and SMC Essential magnet system in a larger driver format than the SONIK 5, providing the bass surface area and cone excursion capacity required for controlled, textured low-frequency reproduction in medium to large rooms. The 2.5-way crossover architecture at 2,300Hz and 14,000Hz introduces a progressive bass crossover that rolls off one of the two 7-inch drivers at a lower frequency than the other, distributing the low-frequency workload to reduce cone excursion and intermodulation distortion in the driver transitioning toward midrange operation. Clarity Cone Technology paper and wood fibre diaphragms maintain low mass, high stiffness, and non-resonant breakup characteristics across both drivers, ensuring coherent, natural handover from bass to midrange and a seamless transition to the soft dome at 2,300Hz. The SMC Essential magnet system's hybrid iron and SMC pole piece minimizes hysteresis and eddy currents in both drivers' working zones, delivering cleaner and more detailed midrange performance than conventional all-ferrite motor designs achieve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBass Reflex Design and Room Placement Flexibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SONIK 7's bass reflex enclosure is tuned to 39Hz, supporting its 36Hz lower frequency limit and enabling the deep, punchy bass performance that its dual 7-inch drivers are capable of delivering within the cabinet's 304mm wide, 1,006mm tall proportions. DALI recommends positioning the SONIK 7 between 20cm and 100cm from the rear wall, a practical range for medium and large domestic room layouts that provides flexibility for listeners who cannot position speakers far into the room. The SONIK 7's 16.2kg per speaker weight makes it manageable for two-person placement and repositioning, while its 304mm cabinet width maintains a proportionate presence in medium to large rooms without the visual dominance of wider floorstander designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDALI Hybrid Tweeter Module:\u003c\/strong\u003e 29mm low-loss soft dome tweeter paired with a 17 x 45mm planar magnetostatic ribbon element, delivering wide-dispersion high-frequency reproduction from 2,300Hz through 30kHz for clear, detailed treble at any listening position.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDual 7-Inch Clarity Cone SMC Essential Drivers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Two bass and midrange drivers with KORE-inspired Clarity Cone Technology paper and wood fibre diaphragms and SMC Essential hybrid iron and SMC pole piece magnet systems, providing deep, controlled, and low-distortion bass and midrange reproduction for medium and large rooms.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2.5-Way Crossover at 2,300Hz and 14,000Hz:\u003c\/strong\u003e Two crossover points distribute bass, midrange, dome tweeter, and planar ribbon operations to minimize intermodulation distortion and maximize driver specialization across the SONIK 7's full frequency range.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSMC Essential Magnet System:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ferrite ring surrounding a hybrid iron and SMC pole piece places Soft Magnetic Compound directly in the voice coil's working zone, minimizing hysteresis and eddy currents for cleaner, more relaxed midrange performance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClarity Cone Technology:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paper and wood fibre composite diaphragms with lightweight rigidity and superior resonance control ensure coherent, natural driver-to-driver handover and uncolored upper midrange reproduction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e36Hz-30kHz Frequency Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wide bandwidth from deep bass through the planar ribbon's 30kHz ceiling, capturing the full harmonic content of music and cinematic source material in medium to large rooms.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e110dB Maximum SPL:\u003c\/strong\u003e High dynamic headroom for realistic reproduction of demanding musical and cinematic content at reference listening levels in medium to large rooms.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e88.5dB Sensitivity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Compatible with amplifiers from 30W upward at 6-ohm nominal impedance, making the SONIK 7 accessible to a broad range of integrated amplifiers and stereo receivers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBass Reflex Tuned to 39Hz:\u003c\/strong\u003e Port tuning supports the 36Hz lower frequency limit for deep, punchy bass reproduction suited to both music and home theatre content.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e20-100cm Rear Wall Placement Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e Practical placement flexibility for medium and large domestic room layouts and home theatre installations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDanish Design in Four Premium Finishes:\u003c\/strong\u003e DALI's design sensibility in a proportionate floorstanding cabinet available in four premium finishes for versatile room integration.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCrossover Principle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.5-Way\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrequency Range (+\/-3dB)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e36Hz -

It covers 36Hz to 30kHz with 88.5dB sensitivity, 6-ohm nominal impedance, and 110dB maximum SPL, in a 304mm wide cabinet weighing 16.2kg per speaker. Designed for medium to large rooms, it is available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the DALI SONIK 7 compare to the SONIK 5 and the DALI RUBIKORE 6?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI SONIK 7 is the flagship of the SONIK series, stepping up from the SONIK 5 in three key areas: larger dual 7-inch drivers versus 5.25-inch, a 2.5-way crossover versus 2-way, and the addition of a 17 x 45mm planar ribbon super-tweeter extending response to 30kHz versus the SONIK 5's 26kHz soft dome ceiling. The SONIK 7's 36Hz lower limit improves on the SONIK 5's 39Hz, and its 110dB maximum SPL matches the RUBIKORE 6's output capability at a more accessible price point. The RUBIKORE 6 steps further with SMC-KORE crossover inductors, a ferrofluid-free dome tweeter, and a 4-ohm load suited to high-current amplification, while the SONIK 7's 6-ohm impedance makes it compatible with a broader range of integrated amplifiers and stereo receivers from 30W upward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between the SONIK 7 and SONIK 5 tweeter systems?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SONIK 5 uses a single 29mm low-loss soft dome tweeter covering from 2,200Hz through 26kHz. The SONIK 7 upgrades to DALI's Hybrid Tweeter module, adding a 17 x 45mm planar magnetostatic ribbon element that takes over from 14,000Hz and extends response to 30kHz. The ribbon's planar magnetostatic technology delivers the high-frequency speed and air above 14kHz that a soft dome cannot match, reproducing the harmonic overtones and spatial information in the uppermost audio octave that contribute to natural instrument timbre and acoustic space in music playback. The combination of dome and ribbon also provides wider and more consistent horizontal dispersion than a dome tweeter alone, ensuring off-axis listeners enjoy the same treble clarity as those seated on the primary listening axis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the DALI SONIK 7 suitable for home theatre?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the SONIK 7 is well suited to home theatre front-channel use in medium to large rooms. Its 36Hz bass extension, 110dB maximum SPL, and wide-dispersion Hybrid Tweeter deliver the frequency range, dynamic headroom, and spatial coverage required for cinematic content at reference listening levels. The 20-100cm rear wall placement range accommodates typical home theatre room layouts, and the SONIK 7's balanced, rich audio character ensures it anchors a home theatre soundstage with authority and clarity across both music and film soundtracks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat amplifier power does the DALI SONIK 7 need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI SONIK 7 is rated for amplifiers delivering between 30W and 180W into its 6-ohm nominal load. Its 88.5dB sensitivity makes it responsive to moderate amplifier power in most medium to large rooms, and its 6-ohm impedance is compatible with the vast majority of quality integrated amplifiers and stereo receivers. A clean, well-designed amplifier in the 50-150W range at 6 ohms is appropriate for most listening environments. Vinyl Sound can advise on specific amplifier pairings suited to the SONIK 7 and your room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the DALI SONIK 7 in Toronto or Canada?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DALI SONIK 7 is available at Vinyl Sound, an authorized DALI dealer in Toronto, Canada.
