DALI EPIKORE 9 Floor Standing Speakers with EVO-K Hybrid Tweeter - (Pair)

Overview

Hearing a triangle ring out cleanly and a bass drum land with weight, at any volume, is what separates a good loudspeaker from a world-class one, and it is the standard the DALI EPIKORE 9 is built to meet.

The DALI EPIKORE 9 is a high-end, 4-way floorstanding loudspeaker for large listening spaces. It pairs two 8-inch SMC Gen-2 woofers with a 6½-inch Clarity Cone midrange and DALI's EVO-K Hybrid Tweeter, in a curved real-wood veneer cabinet that DALI developed, designed and built in Denmark.

It is the natural evolution of the EPICON series and carries technology from DALI's flagship KORE. Frequency range is 29Hz to 34kHz (±3dB), sensitivity is 88dB, and maximum SPL is 112dB at 1m.

Simcoe Audio Video Insight

With a 4Ω nominal impedance and a recommended amplifier range of 40W to 500W, the EPIKORE 9 rewards a well-matched amplifier and a room with space to let its bass reflex ports breathe. We are glad to talk through amplification, placement and room setup before you decide.

Why the DALI EPIKORE 9 Stands Out

EVO-K Hybrid Tweeter

Developed originally for the DALI KORE, this module combines a 35mm in-house soft dome with an improved wide-dispersion planar element and powerful neodymium magnet motor systems for smooth, effortless highs at any volume.

SMC Gen-2 8-Inch Woofers

The EPIKORE 9 shares its 8-inch SMC Gen-2 woofers with the range-topping EPIKORE 11 for rich, powerful low-end fidelity in larger spaces.

Clarity Cone Midrange

A newly developed 6½-inch midrange driver with Clarity Cone technology dampens unwanted resonances for low-loss, low-distortion performance.

Continuous-Flare Bass Reflex Ports

DALI says the continuous-flare ports help the bass and midrange drivers deliver cleaner, deeper and more accurate bass.

Curved Real Wood Cabinet

Real wood veneer and piano-finish lacquer on a solid, inert enclosure give the drivers a stable, low-resonance home.

Developed and Built in Denmark

Designed, developed and built by DALI in Denmark, continuing four decades of high-end loudspeaker design.

Buyer's Guide

Who It's For

  • The Large-Room Listener: has a big space and wants a floorstander built to fill it with scale and control.
  • The KORE-Technology Admirer: wants flagship DALI drivers and tweeter technology in a more compact tower than the EPIKORE 11.
  • The Serious Two-Channel Enthusiast: runs quality amplification and wants a speaker with the detail to reward it.

How It Compares

Within the EPIKORE range, the EPIKORE 11 sits above the 9 as a 4½-way floorstander with four 8-inch woofers, while the EPIKORE 7 is a 3½-way compact floorstander for medium to large rooms. The EPIKORE 9 shares the 8-inch woofers of the 11 and the 6½-inch midrange driver, and uses two woofers rather than four.
