DALI SPEKTOR 2 Compact Speakers (Pair)

Wonderful speakers for problematic room setup

These speakers replaced my Paradigm Studio 20s. The Paradigms are too big for the room and don't have the wide dispersion characteristics of the Dalis. Impressed by how well balanced the sound is as well as the punch of the low end. They mate well with my Rel subwoofer. An amazing bargain!

Speakers that turn the head of a headphone enthusiast

I love headphones and happiness is a long evening of listening to jazz through one of my favorite pairs. Too much dependency on headphones, however, can trigger neck strain. So, under doctor's orders, I went looking for a desktop speaker system. II decided to experiment with a pair of Spektor 2s powered by a Bluesound Powernode 2i. Boy did I guess right! I was worried about the bass from such a small pair of speakers, but even with the back of the speakers more than a foot away from the wall, the bass is deep and full. I was also worried about sound stage and imaging, but situated four feet away from each other on my desktop, the Spektor 2s do an impressive job of creating a near field monitor effect. I close my eyes and hear a tight sound field with a surprising amount of separation between the instruments being played. I think the ultimate compliment I can give these speakers is that I have twenty pairs of headphones in the room yet I have been listening to these speakers for five days straight.
