By applying science, measurements, and extensive listening, DALI has made a budget speaker that doesn’t sound like a budget speaker. Both the woofer and tweeter are linear enough that the crossover is only needed to low pass to the woofer and high pass to the tweeter, without being used to smooth out the response curve.
But DALI had other ideas and added a one-inch soft dome tweeter which utilizes an ultra-lightweight fabric, about half the weight of the industry standard. This woofer alone is linear enough that it could have been a full-range driver. This reduces surface resonances, which also increases detail. They then embedded wood fibers into the woofer to not only increase rigidity but to also make for an uneven surface to the cone. The 5.25-inch woofer is a fine paper, low mass driver, which allows for fast response. Wide dispersion and neutral sound quality are a trademark of the DALI speaker tradition, and the SPEKTOR 2 does a credible job at meeting lofty design goals in an inexpensive monitor.ĭALI has packed a lot of goodness into a 9.26-pound box. DALI’s design goal is to have this woofer overlap with the one-inch soft dome tweeter with minimal loss to the crossover network.

It has the look and feel of a driver one would find in a more expensive monitor. In the case of the SPEKTOR 2, this woofer is 5.25 inches. The cornerstone of the SPEKTOR line of speakers is the woofer’s wood fiber cone. This is a lot to ask from a $400 pair of loudspeakers, but the SPEKTOR 2s are up to the task. They are also adept as main speakers or surrounds in a five or seven-channel home theater system. Its design goals were to allow for a variety of placements, from stand mounting to wall mounting to placement on a bookshelf, with a minimum of compromise. The DALI SPEKTOR 2 Bookshelf Loudspeaker is a fine example of an affordable loudspeaker that makes good music.
