DALI Helicon 400 Mk2 Loudspeaker (TAS 205)

Raising the performance bar that additional centimeter can be difficult in the case of a speaker that had already set a high standard. After all, the original Helicon 400, released some seven years ago, had garnered its share of accolades including our...

DALI Helicon 400 Loudspeaker

The $3900 DALI Helicon 400 is a medium-height floorstander that uncannily resembles this Danish firm's premium offering, the Euphonia MS4 [see Issue 146]. It sports the same voluptuous, curvaceous side panels. Internally, it mirrors much of the...

The Dali Helicon 400 are floorstanding main speakers. This 2-way system with two 6.5'' woofer/midrange units and the specially developed Helicon high frequency module containing a ribbon tweeter and a 1" soft dome tweeter is a true DALI Helicon. Each...

Dali Helicon 400

I have bought Helicon 400 for replacing Jamo D590. I have had also the opportunity to coddle Helicon 800 by 1 month. First of all some data – my listening room is almost 50 m2 (400 feet), really good muffled. CDP and amplifier – Audio Analogue,...

Great speakers for money, real hi-end in every detail, both build and sound. Music sounds in full harmony, you can hear everything called beauty if the record contain it. Soundstage is expetional. Brilliant high frequences. Reflect real information...

Let's call them 'features', not 'weaknesses' :-) ; Helicons like strong support from amplifier however can play really easy with weaker stuff. Overall presentation is rather warm than cold so maybe can not fit harsh death metal. They need time for to...

Dali Helicon 400

These speakers spanked the hell out my B&W Nautilus 804s. I had to give up the 804s because the highs often seemed harsh and although they sounded great in the store, they were hard too live with and started annoying me after listening to them for...

Stunningly beautiful in appearance, soundstage, and imaging. The openness of the double tweeter is jaw dropping and magical. The midrange is warm and full. The bass is fuller than most speakers of similar size. Instruments and vocals come alive and...

None except these speakers apparently are not ultra efficicient as they will not come alive with low powered amplifiers. Most audiophile grade amps with at least 100 Watts should drive these speakers well as did even my Haman Kardon 3480, but my...
