They’re nicely made, without quite giving off the quality feel of a pair of similarly priced Q Acoustics 3020s. Still, the panels line up well and general fit and attention to detail is good. There are two options for the finish: the walnut of our review sample or black ash. Both look smart. The Spektor 2s are pretty compact at just 29cm high and shouldn’t dominate a room, even if mounted (as they really should be) on some sturdy stands. MORE: Q Acoustics 3020 review Let them run in over a couple of days and supply them with a good system (we use Marantz’s CD6006 CD Player and Rega’s Brio amplifier alongside our usual reference Naim NDS/555PS and Gamut pre/power combination) and these speakers sparkle. Their rated sensitivity is a little on the low side - just over 84dB/W/m - and nominal impedance is 6ohms, so it wouldn’t hurt to partner them with an amplifier packing a decent amount of poke. Our usual recommendations of Onkyo’s A-9010 (£200), the Marantz PM6006 (£280) or Rega’s Brio (£600) will all work well. MORE: How to build the perfect hi-fi system Mounted on solid stands – Atacama’s Moseco 6 are recommended – these speakers display a breadth of talent few similarly priced alternatives can match. The big hitters in this part of the market are the £160 Mission LX2s and the aforementioned Q Acoustics’ 3020s (£200). Both are superb performers – the Missions excel at clarity and precision, while the 3020s offer an enviable combination of refinement and build quality. These Dalis tread the middle path between these rivals brilliantly, while adding greater verve and involvement to the proceedings. MORE: How to buy speakers and set them up for the best soundSound Play Aretha Franklin’s (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman and the Spektors excel with her distinctive and powerful vocals. They’re delivered with nuance and passion, each word crisply defined with no room for doubt as to the emotion behind the lyrics. We like the cohesive way these speakers handle the instrumental backdrop too - they deliver the music with considerable finesse, precision and energy. Moving to Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture shows the Spektors are capable of high volume levels and a decent degree of composure when pushed. There’s a pleasing level of resolution here, along with the ability to organise that information into an involving and musical whole. MORE: Best speaker deals - hi-fi, Bluetooth, wireless The way these speakers handle dynamics is impressive. They’re fluid and expressive, handling both large-scale swings and low-level subtleties with equal skill. The result is these Dalis have the ability to draw the listener into the music in a way that eludes even the best of their price-comparable rivals. We position the Dalis just a little out from the rear wall and fire them straight ahead, just as the company recommends. This results in an expansive and stable soundstage - but when it comes to scale and authority, the likes of Mission’s LX2s are capable of a little better. MORE: Best hi-fi speakers Tonally, the Spektor 2s have a full-bodied yet balanced presentation. There isn’t much sign of the over-enthusiastic treble we’ve been subjected to in some previous generations of budget Dalis. This means the 2s are easy to partner, and less fussy about poor or aggressive recordings. They’re not far off the sophisticated Q Acoustics 3020s in this regard. We finish with Bruce Springsteen’s Radio Nowhere and these boxes respond superbly. They deliver the song’s hard-charging rhythm with glee, lacking little in the way of drive, punch or power. This is a dense production, but these speakers have enough by way of insight and control to keep everything in check. MORE: How to build the perfect speakerVerdict If you’re looking for a top-class pair of budget standmounters, your choice just got bigger. The likes of the Mission and Q Acoustics remain strong options, but these Dalis offer a degree of entertainment even these talented performers struggle to match. They're highly recommended.

In the past I have been very happy with Wharfedale having owned the Diamond 210s (Happily on desk as the office), Diamond 10.7s (Sold) and Reva 4s (Currently in my theater setup). I wanted desktop monitors for a new room in my house that I would use for listening to music, mixing down old recordings, drinking whiskey... A sort of man cave. The Shootout: The Diamond 220s were a pretty balanced speaker top to bottom, but lacked excitement for me. The highs extended well past the Dentons, but not as high as the Specktors. This was not an issue for me because I already own the 210s and am very happy with them. It was the bottom end especially that disappointed me with the 220s. I have never liked their plinth port design (Also Featured on the Reva 4 which I also own, but absent on my 210s). It just sucks the life out of the bass of the speaker. It may make placement easier in a room, but what you are left with is a speaker with a lack in punch and presence in the low end. They have no authority. Kick drums are found bouncing around the room in every direction rather than slapping you in the chest. No. The Dentons were very warm and subtle. The bass was strong and very present. Mid range was excellent, and overall they were very smooth warm from top to bottom. They thrive with certain recordings and definitely prefer more natural analog material. Their notorious "Veiled" top end isn't so much veiled, the high details are certainly there, but you just have to find them. They don't jump out at you. I also must mention that to my surprise the Dentons did not image well. There was no wide sound stage to be found here. They were closed up and revealed no exciting center activity. All in all these speakers happened to be extremely well tamed and neutral, which for some professional and amateur engineers might be perfect. But I like to hear every detail in my recordings. I want every tiny mistake to be mine to find and correct, not the person down the road that happens to pick up a pair of the last speakers on my list and get a glimpse of what is really behind the "Veil". The Specktors are an exciting speaker. Their new tweeter that features an unusually thin and lightweight soft dome material was what originally drew me to them. I read about their new "Thin and light" approach on their website and thought "This sounds like a great design strategy. I need this.". Their woofer design also had me sold before I even submitted my order. I read that they are crafted from a mix of fine grained paper and wood fibre pulp. "F***, sign me up." I thought. I like my highs to be detailed, extended and transparent. Thin and light sounds like the way to get there. I like my lows to be warm and full and natural. Paper/Wood fibers sounds like the way to get there too. I was excited. When they arrived they were pretty much what I expected. The cabinets were unimpressive, which for me is usually a big problem. I consider myself a decent craftsmen and build furniture from time to time. I always appreciate a beautifully finished real wood veneer (like my old Monitor audio Silver 6s), but I was not aiming towards beauty for this room, so they were fine. As soon as I hooked them up I was impressed. I drive them through a modest Teac UD-301 and Adcom GFA-535ii straight from my Mac and they sing beautifully. Full and present bottom end with a real good punch. Crisp, clean and incredibly transparent highs. Great imaging. Honest and humble mid range. I am very happy with their performance. But I feel that their greatest strength, especially as this price point, is their ability to bring you right into the music. Their is no veil, there is no space whatsoever between you and the music. The vocals are right there. You can reach out and touch them. They are dead center and sound as if you might feel the wind from their breath. I believe it is this accuracy at the highest of highs of our very limited hearing spectrum that brings these vocal and instrumental details to the forefront. I and I believe that "thin and lightweight" were the building blocks of that strength. Read moreng part.... My speakers are powered via Cambridge Audio CXA61 Integrated Amp and after having tested 6 different pairs of speakers I stuck with these! I compared the Spektor 2 with KEF Q150, KEF Q350, Q Acoustics 30201, Q Acoustics 3030i, Klipsch RP500M and RP600M. Klipsch were the only ones that came close to the dynamics of Spektor 2. Highs were so clearly defined and bass is punchy enough for my office. Spektor 1
