Guest Old Man Rubber Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 According to the Dali website: Quote This is a speaker that will give you real DALI high quality sound reproduction at the same time as it will be able to wake up, not just your next door neighbour, but the entire neighbourhood Sounds like they need something punchy to drive them (and your neighbours). If you aren't happy with them, is your amp up to the job? Or did the neighbours start complaining Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jt301 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 I listened to these speakers back in 2006 when I first became interested in this hobby and was looking for my first set of speakers. From memory, the concept range was Dali’s budget range. The Concept 10 was either the top or second top speaker in that range. Dali is a respected Danish loudspeaker manufacturer. Personally I found another speaker in the same price range that I liked more but really all that’s important is whether you like the speakers or not.

Jhsg Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Dali is good but follow your ears above all else. Sometimes a $1k set of speakers will sound better to your ears than a $50k set. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qik_shift Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 I've heard good things about them. But as others have said, you should trust your ears. If you're happy with how they sound then you should be happy with them. If you're curious, then take some time to listening to other setups to compare and learn about what you're after in your setup. You may find even after that you're quite happy with what you have and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that! Enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are the biggest of the concept range and need some room from the wall. If you can give them some room they are decent for the budget Dali range. I had a pair for a while but couldn't give them the room they need. They also like a decent amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattyW Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 A shame the VAF DC-X63 are no longer available. A mate of mine ditched his Concept 10 in favor of them and loves the VAF's. I've never heard such deep, clean bass before either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gstav23 Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 If you decide against your Concept 10's Im happy to consider them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshua Leha Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 I've had a set of the concept 10 and they were nice sounding speaker. I prefer the Dali ikon 7 if you wanted to stick with Dali this could be a possible upgrade. There is also the Dali zensor 7 which I haven't heard. I did own a pair of the zensor 5 though and was extremely impressed by their huge sound and rather small footprint (wife friendly) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryT Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 I had the Ikon 2s for years and never felt like I needed more, I added a small subwoofer at one point but it stayed unplugged most of the time. I never got to hear the 7s, but I imagine they were just more of a good thing. Now I have the Opticon 8s and I cant see myself replacing them anytime soon.

Tony Martello Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 I have a pair of Dali 109’s that I bought new back in 1995. I had the foams and cones fixed/upgraded a few years back and added a bespoke tweeter on top. They still sound fantastic and go VERY loud with a quality powerful amplifier. I recently bought a pair of ATC SCM40 speakers because the size is far more civilised. I’ll be reluctantly selling the 109’s when the restrictions are over. If anyone out there prefers pure, clean sound over ‘looks’, and if you can live with the huge size, they are a great bargain buy. They out perform more expensive speakers for sheer power. They can go a fair bit louder than the ATCs and that’s saying something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Martello Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 There’s a bit of size difference 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audio Influence Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 The Concept range are the entry level range in the Dali lineup. JB Hi Fi used to sell thousands of them in their prime. A well priced banger box. I have the Dali Helicon 400mk2 made in Denmark. An amazing speaker as they are individually signed at the back by the engineer. regards Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wadiman Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 I have a pair of Euphonia MS4s and am really enjoying them - especially with my valve pre (Conrad Johnson ET3SE). The bass in particular is very impressive. Any fellow Euphonia owners here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nadg63 Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Currently running Dali Concept 6 fronts, Concept Centre and Concept 1 surrounds, (along with a couple of Dali subs and Yamaha ic600 for Atmos):- would swapping out the Concept 6's for either Dali Oberon 5, Ikon 6, or Zensor 7 upset the balance with the remaining Concepts?

However, I’m tempted to upgrade to the Rubicon 8 or the Epicon 6. James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Prowse Hi-Fi Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 Just received Epicon 2 onto the showroom. Jeez they're pretty... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryT Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 I had the Ikon 2 MK1 for several years and loved them. Nothing I listened to quite had the same high end as they did for anywhere near the price. Mid last year I did some hunting around for my next upgrade but ended up back at Dali again and got a set of Opticon 8 Mk1s. I haven't had my subwoofer plugged in since then and I don't miss it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
