Dali's new range of speakers offer killer looks and great specs in a wallet-friendly package.
The Dali Sonik collection comes in a wide array of different sizes.
Danish audio brand DALI has unveiled a new range of speakers. Dubbed the Sonik collection, the range consists of five different sets of speakers plus on-wall and cinema options.
That includes two sets of standmount speakers – Sonik 1 and Sonik 3 – and three sets of floorstanding models – Sonik 5, Sonik 7 and Sonik 9. The range is said to be the most significant evolution of the brands approach since it launched the award-winning Oberon speakers back in 2018.
There are a range of proprietary technologies used to craft this collection. That includes an ultra-light 29mm soft dome tweeter, which has been engineered for a coherent upper midrange, and is supported by a new aluminium faceplate.
Those are paired with low-loss bass and midrange drivers, which come in either 5.25- or 7-inch variants. They also make use of DALI's Clarity Cone membrane, which is made from paper and wood fibre.
The range is designed to look just as good as it sounds, with a choice of four premium finishes. Users can opt for Black Ash, Walnut, Natural Oak or White finishes over a CNC-machined MDF cabinet.
The construction also makes use of separate chambers for the bass drivers, which reduces resonance and improves timing accuracy. For the floorstanding models, everything comes together upon a set of aluminium spike outriggers, which keep things nice and stable.
Pricing starts at just £449 / €498 / US$900 / AU$849 for a pair of the smallest Sonik 1 speakers, which is really exceptional value for such a prestigious brand.

All of those prices are for pairs, apart from the Sonik Cinema, which is priced as a single unit. Overall, that makes this collection serious value for money. We'll have to wait until we've tried some to pass any further judgement, but early signs look very good indeed.
