I know these demo videos are frowned upon in this forum. but if anyone is interested, I did a quick compare to the well-revered schiit aegir and another decent Class AB Amplifier I had (Onkyo 9150). The A300 is a surprise and quite decent. Sounds quite focused and composed and not harsh (as the...

My Dali Rubicon 2s have L/R labelled at each speaker. Dali website also recommends following the respective labels. I tried experimenting swapping the 2 speakers to see if could get an audible difference. Funny enough, I did and preferred the sound of the L/R in the wrong orientation (left on...

here is a quick sound comparison between Rubicon 2 & Special 40 I have made. im fully aware that this is a very flawed comparison due to multitude of factors -- its just for fun and can give every one a hint of the sound sig differences (if listened through semi-decent/neutral headphones/IEM):

I tried to side grade / upgrade away from the Rubicons (tried KEF R series, Dyn Excite, Dyn Special 40, ATC) but I kept coming back to Dali. The only speaker I have on my list now are the Epicons which will surely never happen as I can't afford it :D The KEF R series are excellent in their own...

Was able to borrow Rubicon 2. aaaand I just put my special 40s on sale. side by side with the Rubicon 2, its no contest for me. there is just an abundance of life, drive and the midrange is much more coherent with the highs & lows. dali also has the upper hand in soundstage depth and layering...

Its been 6 months since I have upgraded from the Dali Rubicon 2 to the Dynaudio Special 40. Not a single week goes by where I sometimes wonder if I was happier with the Dali. The Special 40s are the superior speaker but there is something about that Dali rhythm (from the SMC woofer) that is...

The Dali Rubicon 2s are great. Ive had the R300, Dynaudio x18, Wharfedales, B&Ws, also able to borrow ATC scm11. Personally still prefer the Rubicon 2 over all the speakers ive heard so far. very underrated brand outside of the EU. I really believe they are on to something with their SMC...

Awesome!

how's the polarity? is it fixed?

Thanks this is enlightening and Appreciated.

Thanks for the Interesting blind test here is what i got. Curious to know about the result 1 + 2 - 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 - 8 - 9 - 10 + 11 + 12 +

superb thanks! i'll play it in my system and record it as well continuously without any cuts once i get the chance later tonight. would be an interesting blind test.

that would be interesting if it is not much trouble. the songs I used were:

both should electrically/ fundamentally be the same thing as switching cables though. Its nice that you dont hear a difference. I wish I didn't as well. I did my own experiment though, recorded it and shared it to everyone here--- and the change can be heard from a lossy recorder, lossy...

Sounds nice but But doesn't that take the speakers out of the equation? i'm afraid, it would be irrelevant for my use-case.
