Review 5 of 13

Price Paid:  $500.00 from Hifi-Klubi

Summary:
Now that I have owned a pair of 808's for more than two years, I have never regretted my decision.

As a Hip Hop fan my first requirement for speakers was powerful and deep bass sound even when played at low volume (and especially when played at higher level :) . Dali was basically the only real brand to consider in my limited budget.

Some might argue that the bass suffocates all the other elements, but I haven't found this as a real problem. Even when listening to occasional funk or jazz records. Dali suites just fine also for my home theater needs. I certainly don't have to buy any subwoofer to go along with the system.

I'm positive that there are better speakers out there somewhere, but for my needs and my money these were the perfect solution!

Strengths:
Deep bass & massive over-all sound.

Weaknesses:
separation ability

Marantz MA-9S2 Reference Series Power Amplifiers Review

Marantz MA-9S2 Power AmplifierThe list above has one tenet that I continue to hold true: high powered amplifiers are necessary to reproduce the full dynamic range of music with most speakers. This became apparent when I changed from the 100 Watt per channel Bella Extreme 100 to the 250 Watt.....

Lowther’s DX-65 driver in the Teresonic Magus XR Review

A new driver from Lowther is real news. A new five inch driver is even rarer news, so it was with great anticipation that I waited on this pair of speakers to arrive.

Aune Mini Headphone DAC User Review

The unit arrived from China well packed and everything seem to be in place. No external abuse by the carriers. The only problem was the power supply it came with. The box came with a cheap step-down converter.

The Aural Symphonics Chrono b2 is more a study in contrasts than most cables. Chrono b2 refers to balanced version 2.
