DALI Rubikore 6 vs Klipsch Klipschorn AK7

Short answer: the DALI Rubikore 6. It ranks #194 of 226 floorstanding speakers by sound quality, rated 3.3/5, at $8,000; the Klipsch Klipschorn AK7 ranks #208, rated 3.0/5, and costs $18,999.98, which makes this an easy call rather than a real tradeoff.

What the DALI Rubikore 6 does well: Unusual 2.5-plus-half-way, four-driver configuration: two woofers overlap up to 800Hz, then one continues alone to about 2600Hz where the tweeter takes over, followed by a supertweeter engaging at 14kHz. The catch: On-axis, the treble sits 3-5dB above the midrange (especially around 4kHz), giving a sibilant, hot top end that the manufacturer itself recommends compensating for with 30° of toe-out (firing the speakers straight into the room rather than at the listener).

The case for the Klipsch Klipschorn AK7: Klipsch’s corner horn, with every driver horn-loaded: a K-771 compression tweeter, a new 3” K-1133-HP midrange compression driver on a Tractrix horn and a 15” woofer in a fully enclosed folded bass horn that uses the room corner as part of the horn. The tradeoff: No independent measurements yet, so its tonal balance and directivity can’t be compared directly with measured speakers; the rating is estimated from Klipsch’s measured Heritage models.

Buy the DALI Rubikore 6. It is rated higher for sound quality than the Klipsch Klipschorn AK7 and costs less, which makes it the one to get unless you need something the other one does better.

Worth knowing: the Klipsch Klipschorn AK7 has not been measured yet. Its rating is estimated from related models, with a likely range of 2.4 to 3.6, so treat this verdict as provisional.

Same family: the DALI Rubikore 2 (bookshelf, estimated 3.2/5), the DALI Rubikore 8 (larger floorstanding, ranked higher, estimated 3.4/5) and the DALI Rubikore Cinema (center, estimated 3.1/5).

Pros: Unusual 2.5-plus-half-way, four-driver configuration: two woofers overlap up to 800Hz, then one continues alone to about 2600Hz where the tweeter takes over, followed by a supertweeter engaging at 14kHz. A design layout the reviewer says he’d never encountered before. Bass extension reaches a solid 40-45Hz in-room. Distortion is quite low overall, with an especially impressive gap between second- and third-order harmonic distortion in the midwoofers. Wide horizontal radiation of about ±75°, close to the reviewer’s preferred range for an enveloping soundstage. Very good dynamic range, holding up to about 26dB of level increase (70dB to 102dB) with distortion staying within the reviewer’s 3% threshold even at full output. Multiple attractive finish options, including bi-wireable connections. Measured bass extension of 43Hz (-3dB), with a measured sensitivity of 86.4dB.

Cons: On-axis, the treble sits 3-5dB above the midrange (especially around 4kHz), giving a sibilant, hot top end that the manufacturer itself recommends compensating for with 30° of toe-out (firing the speakers straight into the room rather than at the listener). Even with that toe-out, the midrange still reads as somewhat scooped and recessed: the reviewer needed a wide, +2dB EQ boost around 2.5kHz to bring vocals back into proper balance. A high-Q resonance appears around 590Hz, and another shows up around 800Hz in burst decay measurements. Best combined with sidewall absorption to help tame the elevated 4-5kHz energy, adding to setup complexity. Needs specific listening-height positioning: ears should be at the tweeter (not supertweeter) level for the most accurate sound. Without EQ or acoustic treatment, the reviewer found the combination of a hot tweeter and recessed midrange a “tough sale” despite otherwise strong measured performance.

Klipsch Klipschorn AK7: $18,999.98 per pair Estimated Audio Advice eBay

Same family: the Klipsch Heresy IV (smaller floorstanding, ranked lower, rated 2.3/5), the Klipsch Forte IV (smaller floorstanding, ranked higher, rated 4/5), the Klipsch Cornwall IV (smaller floorstanding, ranked lower, estimated 2.8/5) and the Klipsch La Scala AL6 (smaller floorstanding, ranked lower, estimated 2.8/5).

Pros: Klipsch’s corner horn, with every driver horn-loaded: a K-771 compression tweeter, a new 3” K-1133-HP midrange compression driver on a Tractrix horn and a 15” woofer in a fully enclosed folded bass horn that uses the room corner as part of the horn. It reaches 34Hz (±3dB) with 103dB sensitivity, so very little amplifier power produces large, effortless output.

Cons: No independent measurements yet, so its tonal balance and directivity can’t be compared directly with measured speakers; the rating is estimated from Klipsch’s measured Heritage models. It must sit in a room corner to work as designed, it stands 1353mm tall and weighs 118kg, and horn speakers of this kind usually sound midrange forward.
