Reviewer score 84%The Dali Spektor 2 are one of the best passive speakers on the market. Despite having no dedicated sub, the bass performance is impressive too, delivering just the right amount to keep things crisp. Given their relatively small size, they can easily fill a large room with more volume than you’re ever likely to need.

Reviewer score 75%Dali's Spektor 2s have a full-bodied yet balanced presentation. Sound is fluid and expressive, handling both large-scale swings and low-level subtleties with equal skill. Big hitters in this part of the market are the £160 Mission LX2s and Q Acoustics' 3020s.
