In Reply to: I would narrow your list to these 2 posted by Lona on March 17, 2007 at 22:31:37:
Well from his list it would make more sense to narrow it toDali Helicon 400 - very enjoyable
since the Spendor in his opinion does not have enough bass.
IME bass is very important and you need enough of it seamlessly integrating with the rest of the sound to be happy long term. Thus while a lack of bass maybe ok for violin music and generally low volume listening - in the long run it is needed to create the experience believably. I have yet to hear a good sub work with music at any price - even set-up by the designers of the subs and a single sub cannot create a stereo image and when they are off to one side always creates a weight on that side no matter where they are crossed over. It just takes longer to detect the issue with suc set-ups.
I have not heard the Dali but if it is "very enjoyable" and has sufficient bass then I would start with that - scrap the rest of the list and then compare the Dali to everything else you can find for around the same money.
Always Always Always start with a speaker you think is "very enjoyable" and that you can't say much if anything bad about. The mistake is taking 8 speakers finding this one and stopping. Take that one and let it become the reference to compare all else against. And in time the Dali will either see off all the competitors or he will come across something that takes all the positives of the Dali and ups the anty to another level. Either way it's win win for the poster.
