Strength:
Warm, detailed sound. Wide soundstage. Superior instrument and voice separation. Beware, your familiar tunes will sound different: they won't sound like recorded music, they'll sound live! Upon listening, they make you forget they are there, as they dissapear. Great aestetics, impeccable finish, understated elegance. Value: a used pair is a steal.
Weakness:
Only banana plugs need apply. The holographic image and refined, detail presentation of the Grands can be scary. They make you forget that you are alone in the room, and places you right in front of the band/orchestra. I have them bi-amped at 105w (B&K) for the treble, and 200w (Adcom) for the mids and lows. Give them some power and they love you back: even at high volume there isn't a sign of distorsion nor harshness.

Strength:
Transparancy, detail, bass, warm sound, design...
Weakness:
none. The Dali Grand is really a truly amazing speaker. The combination with my Marantz PM-14 works out terrific. Probably this is the best combination I have ever heard, and it's just in my house!!! If you ever got the chance to buy these speakers, buy them. You won't be dissappointed... Similar Products Used: B&W 802 series 80. |

Strength:
Bass, treble, air.
Weakness:
If any it must be a laidback midrange. (If thats a weakness?) One of the best speakers around in their pricerange. I`ve been the satisfied owner of a pair of Dalis for 10 months and can recommend them to all music lovers. 5 stars overall!

Strength:
handfinished cabinets exquisite and the sound is sublime,
Weakness:
weight for moving them. Little known in the industry- so ignorance when seeking appropriate eqipment to partner them with. These speakers are awesome-(even in a smallish room, although they are designed for larger set up). Well balanced, magnificant range, supremely capable and revealing of so much fine detail. Handle everything from Led Zep to Arvo Part to Oscar Peterson to Rage against the machine. And pass the Ray Brown Double Bass test without a care.

Souund!, finish, Big sounding speaker which works excellent with every!!!
Weakness:
they don't work very well with a 50 watt amp... You got to have some power I love the sound from my Grand. But you need at rather large room witch I don't have (yet). They have spectacular stereo image. great for music and Home Theater Similar Products Used: Dali 808, pro audio, ++ |

The Dali Grands may look nice yes, but they`re awful loudspeakers!! Try knocking on the cabinet and you know how they will sound. They have lots of resonances and colouration in the cabinet, and in my opinion they are way too big compared to their price. The treble is nice and comfortable, but lacks detail and attack, making this speaker useless on modern music. It handles classical fairly well but instruments in the lower midrange sound way to big and "fat". And its not because of the room either, I auditioned them well set up in a well damped, dedicated listening room.In my opinion they sound like something in the 1000$ range, just a bit bigger and louder. |
