Solid audio quality? Yep. During testing we found the speakers delivered wonderful agile and articulate audio across all the genres we threw at them, which included rumbling 12-bar blues, bopping pop and even the odd bit of heavy metal. In each instance the sound held impressive levels of detail and expression for such an affordable pair of speakers.

Unfussy nature? You bet. Matching hi-fi separates is a bit of an art and understandably scary for people just getting into hi-fi. Thankfully the Spektor 2’s unfussy nature meant they played nice with every price compatible amp we tested them with, making them a great option for newbies.

Good looks? This one’s in the eye of the beholder, but we think their wood finish in particular looks quite nice…

That’s why continue to stand by our reviewers' conclusion:

“If you’re looking for a top-class pair of budget standmounters, your choice just got bigger. The likes of the Mission and Q Acoustics remain strong options, but these Dalis offer a degree of entertainment even these talented performers struggle to match. They're highly recommended.”
