What’s your opinion about Dali speakers?

I’m about to replace all the  speakers in my surround room.  One possibility is to one possibility are the Dali speakers but I’ve heard mixed opinions about Dali.

i will appreciate your thoughts about Dali  including the subwoofer,  any recommendations about other brands will be very much appreciated as long as your recommendations are about the same price range as the Dali.

The RUBIKORE line does appear outstanding on paper. Currently using Epicon 6s that are about twelve years old. My electronics, cables, etc., are finally up to their performance level.

Elliot Midwood of Acoustic Image in Studio City, Ca. has been selling Dali speakers since forever. Every time I've been to his place they always sounded fabulous. Yes, he carries other brands but he told me they just sound so much like the real thing and he's played in an orchestra and advises others on how to achieve the best sound they can. 

He even has a Remington that he cast himself from an original (the bucking horse with rider). His talents are many and refined.

All the best,
Nonoise

I have a pair of Dali menuet SE’s. I have many of the darling speakers. Ls50 r3 metas, Dynaudio special 40, etc. Though those speakers are very good, I’m simply amazed how,these litte speakers can sound so good. The bass is incredible from such a 4” woofer. Like it’s been said somehow Dali get the right mix of detail and musicality perfect.

I’ve had Dali Mentor 6s since around 2012 and I’ve never felt the need to upgrade them on my mid-fi system, even as I have changed amps, sources, cabling, rooms, etc. they seem to handle everything I throw at them well. Excellent bass, smooth treble, very musical, excellent imaging, etc. I agree they are better at moderate to high volumes. I was hooked on Dali adder hearing Epicon 6s at AVSF — couldn’t afford them at the time and I found the Mentors (demo) at a good price and figured I’d upgrade later. Haven’t seen the need, but the Rubikores do tempt me.  
 

of note, they improved when I went bi-wire (I never tried jumpers) and they really improved when I mounted IsoAcoustic Gaia iiis.

I've heard a few of the higher up Dali models and they all seemed excellent. The entry level stuff never really excited me but that's about par for the course for that price range. If I was shopping for new speaker I would certainly try to get my hands/ears on something from Dali's higher tiers if at all possible.
