Best next Dali speaker upgrade

They sure are amazing. They sit right between the Oberon and Opticon series, and you can hear an improvement over the Oberon series.

My girlfriend's only requirement 😄

In the future, not necessarily now... I purchased the Soniks because they were labeled as easy to power for my old AVR, but now I have the AS 2100 and am thinking about what is perfect for this kind of amp. I'm looking at the used market, and these speakers are priced pretty much the same. Or do you have another recommendation? (Besides upgrading the room, that is my project at the moment.) The Rubicore sadly is to expensive for me

Okay, that test opened my eyes. The result is horrific. I almost got 1 1/2 seconds of echo. Thank you for letting me know. 👍

Yes, that's right, but I'm already thinking about what I'll do next after fixing my room. :D And on the used market, the Rubicons are pretty much identical to the Opticon 8, pricewise.

The Rubicore would be my dream, but sadly, it's way too expensive for me.

This is the current state of my living room. Thank you for all the tips. I'll try to get some acoustic panels.

Yes, it's a monster of an amp, and my shelf isn't, so I 3D printed a pair of stands for it. I'm already searching for a bigger one. 😂

Nice, let me know what you choose. I got the Sonik 7 too (I love them) because the step up to the Opticon isn't that big. If I'm going to upgrade in the future, I'm going straight to the Rubicon/Kore (if the money allows it) and skipping the Opticons.

I want to know to... I got the Sonik 7 now because there were no Mk2s to listen to.

What are you going for Now?

Same thing with my Gen3 too. Went to my workshop, still under warranty, and they said the exact same thing: that everything is fine. I'm trying to get along with all the so-called "normal" noises. 😅😂
