DALI Celebrates a Record Four EISA Awards for 2026-2027

DALI VEGA all-in-one wireless hi-fi system, DALI EISA Awards winner

DALI VEGA

DALI has taken home a record four DALI EISA Awards for 2026-2027, with the Expert Imaging and Sound Association recognising the KUPID, SONIK, V-16 F and VEGA across four separate categories. Between a compact entry-level loudspeaker, a full home cinema series, the brand’s most powerful subwoofer yet and an all-in-one lifestyle system, these DALI EISA Awards span the Danish manufacturer’s entire range, from a first hi-fi purchase to a serious home theatre upgrade.

  • DALI KUPID: EISA Compact Loudspeaker
  • DALI SONIK: EISA Loudspeaker Series
  • DALI V-16 F: EISA Premium Subwoofer
  • DALI VEGA: EISA Lifestyle Music System
  • Pricing and availability
  • Key specifications

DALI KUPID: EISA Compact Loudspeaker

The DALI KUPID picks up the EISA Compact Loudspeaker 2026-2027 award as what DALI positions as its newest entry point into hi-fi. Compact, colourful and designed to live comfortably on a shelf rather than disappear into a dedicated listening room, KUPID is built to carry DALI’s house sound to listeners who might otherwise never own a proper pair of speakers. It is one of four DALI EISA Awards this year, and the one most squarely aimed at bringing new listeners into the hobby.

DALI SONIK: EISA Loudspeaker Series

DALI’s new SONIK range wins EISA Loudspeaker Series 2026-2027, built on the brand’s long-standing expertise in accessible, high-performance loudspeakers. SONIK is a complete range spanning both stereo music listening and home cinema duty, pairing DALI’s established driver and cabinet technologies with a more contemporary design language than the ranges around it. Among this year’s DALI EISA Awards, SONIK’s series win reflects breadth rather than a single standout model: floorstanders, standmounts and centre channels all built to work together as one coherent home cinema or two-channel system.

DALI V-16 F: EISA Premium Subwoofer

The DALI V-16 F, the most powerful subwoofer DALI has built to date, is crowned EISA Premium Subwoofer 2026-2027. It combines a 16-inch driver with 1500W of Class-D amplification, aimed at delivering deep, controlled bass with exceptionally low distortion for large rooms and demanding home cinema systems. Of all four DALI EISA Awards this year, the V-16 F is the clearest statement of engineering ambition, built for listeners who have already outgrown a standard subwoofer.

DALI VEGA: EISA Lifestyle Music System

Completing DALI’s four-award haul, the DALI VEGA wins EISA Lifestyle Music System 2026-2027. VEGA is an all-in-one wireless hi-fi system designed to make DALI’s sound easy to live with, adapting to modern living spaces without demanding a dedicated system or a rack of separates. DALI Head of Product Management Krestian Pedersen said the whole team are very proud, noting that each of the four winning products is the result of years of research, development and testing, and that the brand is looking forward to sharing the DALI EISA Awards with even bigger audiences.

Pricing and availability

The KUPID, SONIK, V-16 F and VEGA are all available now through DALI’s international dealer network, following on from the original DALI VEGA launch; full pricing and regional availability for all four models can be found on DALI’s website. As with previous DALI launches, pricing varies by market and finish, with dealers able to confirm exact figures for each model.

Key specifications

  • DALI KUPID: EISA Compact Loudspeaker 2026-2027, compact entry-level shelf speaker
  • DALI SONIK: EISA Loudspeaker Series 2026-2027, full range for stereo and home cinema
  • DALI V-16 F: EISA Premium Subwoofer 2026-2027, 16-inch driver, 1500W Class-D amplification
  • DALI VEGA: EISA Lifestyle Music System 2026-2027, all-in-one wireless hi-fi system
  • All four models part of DALI’s 2026-2027 EISA Awards-winning line-up

Publisher

Marco Lisi is the publisher of Best of High End, part of AV Concepts BV. His path into audio started early: as a teenager he was drawn into the world of free radio, presenting shows and living immersed in music every day. In his early twenties he ran his own production studio for five years, creating jingles and commercials — hands-on training in sound design, pro-audio workflows, and critical listening through studio monitors that still shapes how he evaluates gear today. He also spent years DJing in clubs before moving into publishing, first at two earlier online magazines before founding Best of High End. His hi-fi and home cinema passion was inherited from his father, an inveterate system-swapper. Marco's first setup — a confirmation gift — paired AKAI separates with entry-level Bowers & Wilkins speakers, a brand he stayed loyal to for years as his system grew from stereo into full surround and home cinema. Like many enthusiasts, he went through an extended "audiophile" phase chasing the next upgrade, before settling into a more grounded view: gear as a means to enjoy music and film, not an end in itself. Years of critical listening have given him a well-trained ear — the ability to characterize a system or pinpoint a change in the chain quickly and accurately. Just as important, his teaching background (a Belgian "regent" degree in Dutch language) gives him the tools to translate those listening impressions into clear, readable writing.
