#27 DALI Zensor 1: $249 per pair Discontinued eBay
Newer model: the DALI Sonik 1, ranked lower, estimated 3.9/5.
Pros: A budget two-way with a 5.25” wood fiber woofer and 25mm soft dome tweeter. The only Spinorama data shows a listening window within 1.9dB from 300Hz to 5kHz, low on-axis deviation (0.34) and wide horizontal coverage (about ±70 degrees), for a preference score of 4.70 that reaches 7.14 with an ideal subwoofer. Measured bass extension of 86.0Hz (-3dB).
Cons: That data is low quality, digitized from a third-party chart. Bass rolls off at 86.0Hz (-3dB). DALI replaced Zensor with Spektor and then Sonik. Discontinued.
How it compares: Just above it: ELAC Debut 3.0 DB53 - $150 more, 0.5Hz lower bass extension (-3dB). Just below it: DALI Sonik 1 - $651 more, 0.5Hz lower bass extension (-3dB).
