In a bold move that showcases its commitment to audio innovation, DALI has officially launched the EPIKORE Gen 2 Series of loudspeakers, a product line that epitomizes over 40 years of research and development in the realm of high-fidelity audio. Building on the success of the acclaimed EPICON series, the new EPIKORE Series merges state-of-the-art technology with exquisite craftsmanship to deliver an unparalleled musical experience for audiophiles and music lovers alike.

A revolutionary design

The EPIKORE Series introduces four meticulously crafted models, each designed to cater to different listening environments and aesthetic preferences. The line-up includes the EPIKORE 3, a 3-way stand-mount speaker; the EPIKORE 7, a 31⁄2-way floorstander; the EPIKORE 9, a sophisticated 4-way floorstander; and the flagship EPIKORE 11, a 41⁄2-way floorstander. Each model has been engineered to deliver exceptional audio performance, with a particular focus on low distortion and high dynamic range.

DALI has made a name for itself by emphasizing both performance and aesthetics, and the EPIKORE Series does not disappoint. The speakers are available in three exclusive high-gloss finishes: High Gloss Black, High Gloss Walnut, and High Gloss Maroon. This attention to visual detail complements their superior audio capabilities, making them as much a piece of art as they are instruments for sound.

Innovative technologies

At the heart of the EPIKORE Series lies a suite of advanced technologies designed to elevate sound reproduction. The EVO-KTM Hybrid Tweeter module is a standout feature, combining a 35 mm soft-dome tweeter with a 55 x 10 mm high-frequency planar element. This configuration ensures smooth, distortion-free high-frequency performance, capable of delivering intricate details without fatigue, even at higher volumes.

DALI’s proprietary SMCTM Gen-2 technology further enhances audio fidelity by minimizing distortion. Conventional magnetic systems often suffer from hysteresis, a phenomenon that can introduce unwanted noise and compromise audio clarity. The EPIKORE Series utilizes DALI’s second-generation Soft Magnetic Composite (SMC Gen-2) to significantly reduce hysteresis and other distortive factors, translating into a more dynamic and authentic sound experience.

Moreover, the speakers feature custom-made in-house drivers and Clarity Cone™ technology, which employs a unique paper and wood fiber cone structure. This design contributes to superior cone behavior, allowing for precise sound reproduction without the added weight that would otherwise compromise performance. The result is an audio experience that captures both subtle micro-details and the grandeur of live performances.

Tailored for every space

DALI understands that listening environments vary significantly, which is why the EPIKORE Series has been designed to excel in a wide range of settings. The EPIKORE 3 is ideal for smaller rooms, offering a compact yet powerful option for those who want exceptional sound without sacrificing space. Its 3-way architecture features a low-loss 7-inch bass/midrange driver and the EVO-KTM Hybrid Tweeter, ensuring that it performs remarkably well in intimate listening spaces.

In contrast, the EPIKORE 7 is suited for medium to large rooms and builds on the design principles of the EPICON and KORE series. This 31⁄2-way floorstander boasts two robust 7-inch bass/midrange drivers alongside the advanced tweeter module, providing a rich and immersive listening experience.

For larger environments, the EPIKORE 9 and EPIKORE 11 stand out as high-performance solutions. The EPIKORE 9 is a 4-way floorstander that utilizes dual 8-inch woofers and a 61⁄2-inch midrange driver, delivering remarkable bandwidth and low distortion. Its advanced cabinet construction and Continuous Flare bass reflex loading ensure that it performs admirably in expansive spaces.

Meanwhile, the EPIKORE 11 represents the pinnacle of DALI’s engineering prowess. This flagship model features four 8-inch woofers and a sophisticated crossover system, designed to handle even the most demanding audio tracks with grace and precision. It sets a new benchmark for high-end loudspeaker performance in large listening areas.

Craftsmanship meets functionality

Beyond the innovative technology and audio excellence, the EPIKORE Series is a testament to Danish design principles. Each speaker features a visually striking curved cabinet, constructed to minimize resonance and enhance rigidity. The luxurious finishes and custom high-end binding posts add an extra layer of sophistication, while adjustable aluminum outriggers ensure stability on varied surfaces.

DALI’s attention to detail extends to the optional EPIKORE STAND, which has been specifically designed for the EPIKORE 3. Available in matte black, this sand-fillable stand not only provides an elegant solution for stand-mounting but also features internal cable routing for a clean, clutter-free look.

Pricing and availability

The EPIKORE Series is now available for purchase, with pricing structured to reflect the exceptional quality and performance of each model. The EPIKORE 3 retails for £9,999 / €9,999 / $15,000, while the EPIKORE STAND is priced at £1,999 / €1,999 / $3,000. The EPIKORE 7 is available for £19,999 / €19,000 / $25,000, the EPIKORE 9 for £29,999 / €29,999 / $40,000, and the flagship EPIKORE 11 for £39,998 / €39,998 / $60,000.

I was playing vinyl when I was 3 years old. There was a song from the Rubettes that I liked a lot "Sugar Baby Love". My mother still cherishes the photo of me spinning that record! The audiophile was born. As an adult the video enthusiast in me woke up, making professional corporate movies. Here, at "Best of high end", I can indulge my audiovisual senses.
