if you have to choose between kef, dynaudio, dali, what would you choose?
I'm looking for some speakers to pair with a Yamaha s2200. What kind of sound do you like?
@@catalinniculae5740 depends on what genres you're listening to. I noticed I start to enjoy more genres with Kef (especially rock & EDM) since they are very neutral, focused & coherent, has the best bass with great vocals & Imaging-- this is my personal 1st choice. My next choice would be Dali since they are just super rhythmic and exciting to listen to with jawdropping detail & clarity (can get bright though). Dynes are great too and are technically the better of the 3 but can be very expensive and the sound can sometimes get boring (though super refined) (vocals seem a bit dry). I havent heard the special 40 so my judgement is limited to the Excite X18. The Kefs have deeper & stronger bass than SP40 according to a friend who has owned both but the special 40 has better midbass & airier smoother more resolving highs.
@@catalinniculae5740 I am pairing Dalis with a-s2100. It is a bit tiring I must say. Try to find some speakers that sound relaxed. There is a video a-s 2100 paired with monitor audio gold 200 5g. I think that is a good match. And I must say Dalis match really well with hegel h360.
@@jazzabana how does the Dali sound on the hegel? much more balanced? does it have decent bass extension with the hegel?
@@mykeldg the most obvious difference is that the soundstage is deeper and music is not playing to your face. It is rather relaxed, soft and the soundstage is further away behind your speakers. I am not a bass head but it was pretty decent nothing less than a-s2100. I think Dali's bass range is already good enough for me. I recently changed my source to innuos zenmini mk3 and purchased audioquest nrg y3 mains cable for a-s2100. This was another good investment I would say. Again I can easily say dalis r a really good match if you like your system sounding relaxed and have the stage further away from you which I do, because than the whole experience turns into a passive listening rather than an active one. So it relaxes. ✌
Non è solo un fatto di dettagli o di maggiore analisi del segnale musicale. Ma di ricostruzione degli spazi, di prospettiva, di senso del tempo, di articolazione, di velocità nei transienti. In una parola di superiore musicalità. Assolutamente Dalì! Per tutto! Un saluto
To my ears Dalis have more space between instruments, wider soundstage with more air, without lacking in body. KEFs sound more forward and have bigger dynamic. This is a tough choice ! Excellent demo !
The BEST, rubicon2, for me.
agreed
me,too.
also I noticed the recording I used for the Rubicons are old & using silver cables (a bit bright on this demo). I will try to make an updated recording
Hi, planning on upgrading to Rubicon. Do you think they are bright or harsh sounding at all. From this demo I can say it is lively in the top end? Thank you
@@MrComand3r what amp and dac do you plan to use? Currently they are not that bright any more but I do find that they can be lean on the mids/vocals a bit if not positioned correctly or too close to the back wall or if paired with bright electronics. They are very revealing though--- its as if the woofers are very fast (kef sounds compressed beside the Rubicon) and that additional detail can be perceived at brightness for some people but in my opinion they are just very low distortion so much detail comes out. In my latest video, I am using a chord mojo DAC and removed the guitar in the corner, not as bright any more : th-cam.com/video/dLo499n6G44/w-d-xo.html but try to audition if possible because the level of detail from Rubicons I still have not found from any other speakers. (including dynaudio special 40)
Some instruments disappear in the background on the Dali's where on the KEF they are up front.
Cheers useful demo. Little girl is a good dancer! 😁
Да, благодаря маленькой девчушке кеф поинтереснее смотрелись, а дали заскучали в одиночестве. Люблю дали, но кеф звучали с этими композициями выгрышнее
Thanks for your great comparison vids with high sound quality 👍 Very helpful! I also have the Rubicon 2s, using an old modded Sugden Mystro (50w class a/b). Their character spoke to me right away - enhanced but natural sounding, something to do with the woofer's advanced SMC magnet system + wood fibre cone material - sort of the best worlds of paper (speed) and polypropylene (tonal saturation). Got them mint second hand ($1k) and only intended them as a temporary solution (wanted Blumenhofer 1722s, $10K german horns). Well, have had them for 10 months now and although I feel the upgrade bug, I really wouldn't know what to replace them with 😁 Have had Harbeth P3ESR, SHL5, SHL5 Plus 40th ANV, Graham Audio LS6, Monitor Audio GS60, Dynaudio Contour 20, ProAc, PMC, B&W, System Audio, you name it 😅 These just sound right, exciting yet non-fatiguing. I'm Danish and the closest speaker factory to my home town is the Dali-plant, 25 km away, and Dali's were always the common thing, good basic speakers, not very sexy. I listened to Dalis on my dad's stereo as a child, so they were never an interesting, exotic or sexy brand, plus their marketing is low budget (associated with and owned by Peter Lyngdorf who also founded and owns hifi-chain Hi-fi-klubben in northern Europe). However. They do the fundamentals right - low compression and low loss, easy to drive, good dispersion, lets music breathe - perhaps a bit like Exposure in amps, they're maybe not the best in one single area, but overall, they just sound natural. Longest comment yet! Anyway, keep up the good work on your channel, I for one will be following you further comparisons with excitement 😊
thanks! nice to know a fellow Dali fan. Even compared to the more expensive Dynaudio Special 40, which I have now, I sometimes still miss that musical lively Dali character full nuance and snap. Most of the most engaged I have been are with Dali speakers so far (more specific to Rubicon 2). Hoping to have epicons in the future but might be too poor for it at the moment :D cheers
BTW how do you rank the rubicon 2 against all the speakers you have now including the contours? If you love the Rubicon sound, you should hear the Epicon 2. Its a bit more balanced but still has that fluid Dali rhythm.
@@mykeldg Well, you said it - liveliness and snap! That’s what I think sets these apart, plus their overall tonal balance, that just seems so right and engaging. Most fast speakers suffers deficiencies in tonal balance, and most full sounding 2-way speakers are slower by comparison. That goes for Dynaudio and Harbeth, both use heavy silica reinforced polymers for the woofers. Fine speakers though that do certain things like bass weight and detail very well. A limiting factor in my setup regarding speaker choice has been my Sugden amp, that probably works best with lively speakers that don’t need a ton of power. The Contour 20’s worked better with more power - a Primaluna Dialogue Premium sounded good for instance - but it still was not as fast sounding as the Dali’s. I got bored with those (Named each speaker after beautiful but cold ex-girls, haha). Harbeths are wonderful speakers, but more ‘pretty’ sounding and again, needs a lot (100 w) of power. Will probably get a more powerful amp now - Exposure 3510 int. - that may affect things. But if a speaker is not fast enough to do timing and dynamics effortlessly, I tend to quickly loose interest. Also why I prefer 2-way standmounts to floorstanders. Have considered the Epicon 2s - have only heard them in shop, where they sounded a bit warm to my taste and with less zing on top. No doubt a more correct speaker though. A guy at the Dali factory said to they generally consider the Rubicon 2 the gem of thier entire speaker lineup for price/performance. I use them with a Rega P10 / Avid Pulsus pre + Mytek Brooklyn Bridge DAC and don’t think they are outclassed at all. These are something special. Cross over is simple - two caps and three coils, five resistors - but all cheap parts. Bought $300 worth of high quality caps and resistors with same values for the crossovers, but they take up more space and but have realised I’m not qualified to mess with new crossovers myself 😁 Will have to find a professional to do the upgrade.
@@mykeldg Update: Sold my Rubicons and got a pair of (six month old/new in mint condition) Epicon 2's - have to admit it is the better speaker; and maybe the best speaker I have heard? I know that's saying a lot, but the sheer musicality, naturalness, detail, transparency, speed and scale is incredible in a single package, belies the size AND the price in equal measure. I prefer it to Focal Sopra for instance (at twice the price). Fantastic :-) Only minor thing, in my system it has exposed a bright sounding interconnect (Ansuz Signalz X) that now needs replacing, because the speaker is much clearer and detailed on top than the Rubicons. Will try to post a video soon :-)
Soundapple I recommend you listen to the ATC-100.
Dali has wider soundstage, for me Dali Wins!!!
It also faster ( the woofer) giving everything more prat( pace rhythm and timing)
Yes Dali is abit brighter and i like it as especially with drums. But when it comes to the acoustic track the KEF presented the opening more accurately, or more neutral if you will. Just some initial impressions.
I also think the KEF are far more neutral and accurate to the source. You can also notice vocals are much more present & solid with the KEFs. Dali seems to have sprinkled some magic with its unique tonal balance and makes everything airy, rhythmic & engaging though (if you dont mind a bit non neutral)
@@mykeldg It seems that your taste changes with time. It tends to be. The finish will be very dry, fast and accurate German acoustics. It's like with wines, the finish is dry wine. Anyway, I like to look your way.
@ indeed it does. I went back to the Dalis eventually as the Kefs bored me lol.
Sweet baby Jesus, the Dalis sound magical! (albeit through headphones and YT compression)
What a thoughtfully laid out comparison.
they're still the champ from all the speakers i tried so far. (even after trying more expensive dynaudio special 40) i settled with them and stopped upgrading.
they sound warmer in person though. in this video its a bit bright because of room and weaker amp i had before during time of recording
@@mykeldg Might they pair well with the SMSL AO300?
@@MadLadsAnonymous I only tried the SMSL A300. its decent but probably not 50% of what the speakers are capable of. they will sound flatter dynamically and have less of that 3d soundstage in those amps but have will have great clarity. but dont take my word for it, i have a sound comparison of smsl amp vs traditional class AB amps here and see how you find it : th-cam.com/video/JBmH9uX4I0A/w-d-xo.htmlsi=_kpMpjE6G3ghSOf_
@@mykeldg I'll take a look! So, you don't believe the advice that Class D amps now can be as good as Class AB? I heard the D amps use amazing technology. New to all this.

I wish you could still buy the Kef R300... wow what a speaker, sounds perfect to me. Midrange, balance, detail and excitement.
Nice video buddy. I am considering buying the KEF R3. I definitely preferred the sound of the R300 over the Dali. Sounds like the treble in the Dali is tilted a little too high. R300 sounds more balanced. How do you think the Bowers & Wilkins 606 speakers you demoed some time back would sound compared to the KEF R300?
I prefer the Kef r300 by a large margin over the 606. I remember also preferring the q350 over the 606. probably the 706 is more comparable but I still prefer the Kefs over those since the bowers are brighter than the Dali. the uniq & imaging of the kefs need to be heard in person to be appreciated.
@@mykeldg Thanks for the reply and the offer. I am not in the Philippines. I'm in the United States. I will be considering buying the R3 soon. Have a great day.
@@Miguel8131981 Also consider Dynaudio if you have the Budget. I eventually got bored with the Kef and Went back to the Dalis. If you like neutral balanced sound with lots of bass go with R3. But I eventually found it sounds a bit compressed & less dynamic beside the Dali.
The Kef R3 are NOT the same as the R300....not even by a long shot! Pls don't bother with the R3s...trust me, I fell into that trap myself!
Even the Kef Q100 sound (much) better than the R3s !!!
@mykeldg, hey, have you ever compared Dali against Triangle or Sonus Faber? i think they have similar sound signature
I havent yet but i would love to. They do have similar low distortion and paper woofer natural sound so yes maybe ill like them too
the best
KEF is sounding kind of boxy but live like of a PA system used on live shows, whereas Dali is more detailed, relaxed but sounding like a more controlled or managed recorded music through electronics, live feeling is not there compared to KEF. Very different speaker to listen.
i had the R300. the midrange is colored, veiled and yet harsh in some frequencies. very fatiguing after an hour. had the iQ7 SE before and loved them, although they weren't perfect either.
yeah that is plausible. what did you replace them with? Kef sounds a bit metallic in the mids. must be the aluminum woofers. it just has a weird (non-organic) tonal characteristic I could not point my fingers on. it is a bit veiled and missing some layers. In this demo I was already using partial foam plugs
@@mykeldg i got an opportunity on some Sonus Faber Venere 1.5. they can be a bit 'boomy' at times, but it's a nice speaker to live with. currently looking into some Dynaudios. maybe the Special Forty or even Contour 20i.
Rubicons sound well mixed proffesionally, the kef is too mid heavy, at louder volumes the rubicons will please your soul and ears, the kef much better on transients though I have to admit, it’s the only thing the rubicon lacks, that and a some punchyness to the snares and drums ect. Like it’s less of a live feel and more musically mixed and balanced. But it’s not a bad thing at all because it’s very well balanced. Two different sound signatures
Its a tie. Both are very dynamic. Kef's are more revealing and brighter. Dali's are warmer and forgiving with the highs.
@@views8962 Agreed, hard to tell just from a recording but the Dali defiantly sounded more detailed to me and the KEF much more relaxed with a 'richer' sound. Maybe this could be solved with the addition of a sub, but it's difficult to draw conclusions without trying and listening in person. Very different sounding speakers for different tastes.
Hi, can you please tell me how the bass and treble are set during listening?
Hi. In this video the tone controls were set to bypass / direct mode / off on both speakers
Thinking about getting a used KEF R300 vs new Dali Opticon 2. How would you compare both of them? KEF is 25% more expensive. Thanks!
what genres do you listen to? I think it is safer to go with the Kef. it is a more balanced and complete sound with superior imaging. that said, Dali can be more engaging/rhythmic/natural/less-metallic at the expense of bass extension and midrange presence. Also I think the R300 is in a similar price class as the Rubicons which is a level higher than the opticons.
@@mykeldg I listen mostly jazz & funk, progressive rock, some reggae and a bit of classical. Just music, no TV. I'll listen to the Opticon tomorrow but sadly I've no chance to listen to the KEF. Thanks a lot for your answer!
@@mykeldg The most important is sound character, not the price. I had KEF Q300 and R300 and i was not happy with them. I preffer Opticon 2 over R300.
@@82ivaylo i agree!
@@82ivaylo I also got bored quickly with the R300. I went back to the Rubicon 2 which I find hard to replace.
Rubicon all the way 😎
No contest here !
Hi, would the Kef R300 be good for rock music? Thank you
Yes 100%
Kef!
easy win for me... Rubicons
I had KEF R300 and sold them. Aluminium sound to my ears with a lot of resonances compared to DALI speakers.
This is True. I am also selling the R300 and went back to the Dali. :D
Hello. Please tell me what is the speaker no.2 for you immediately after Rubicon 2 with the same signature or close. I find Rubicon a little pricey, what is a good offer for Rubicon in USA? Thank you
Hi, maybe Dynaudio X18. Kef R300 is very good too but for some like myself it was a bit dull and less revealing than Dynaudio & Dali and the timbre is not as natural. But if you really like Rubicon, try looking for them in the used market. I got mine for only $1200
@@mykeldg hi myke. I just bought a pair of Rubies sh, I don't have them yet, but soon will arrive. You said that the Rubicon bass reach 46htz in you room. What tool did you use to measure that. There is an phisical instrument or an app to install to your phone that you use? Thx
@@sebastiannegrus9007 I just used simple bass sweep video from you tube like this one (th-cam.com/video/M8gjsefNYpE/w-d-xo.html) and check until which freq it is audible. There is a clear drop off at around 50hz and 49hz to 41hz is still audible but probably -6db to -10db
@@sebastiannegrus9007 congrats on the rubicon BTW. hope you'll like thm. make sure you run them in and giv a few days to adjust to the very fast detailed sound.
@@mykeldg Thank you Myke. You have had quite an influence in my decision to finally choose Rubicon 2, after a lot of research,I really hope I would like them. Currently I have a Yamaha A-S500 amp to drive them, I look with interest in your new amp choice, I'm sure you will let as know if you find something better than Onkio as my next step I think will be for sure amp replacement. My listening condition is very similar to yours.
Nice, all the way through. Dali needs subwoofer/I like both though
sound stage is Dali is unreal, i don't mind KEF either but Dali works best to my ears, my dream is Dali Rubicon 6s.
love the Dalis. Sounds even better in person than in this recording. The kefs sounds compressed beside the dali.
@@mykeldg yes, completely agreed, Kef sounded veiled compared to Dali,
Kef is for enjoying music, dali is for listening to details. I like Kef.
Rubicon all the day!
what do u think compare to dyna and atc
in terms of preference it is Dali>Dynaudio>Kef>Atc. but maybe different for others preference, room and gear used.
I own r300 black they are great...
they're very good all rounder speaker with big sound!
DALI!!
i am surprised you didn't go with the KEF R3
maybe when they finally implement the meta tech to the R3 in the future. For the price of the r300 that can be had in the used market, its really a steal considering so much similarity with R3
Kf r300 way to go
Both have their attributes, but I prefer the tonal balance of the Dalis. I believe I would find the KEF fatiguing after a long period of listening.
Kef also has that bit of tonal color where it sounds like aluminum woofers.
KEF is the clear Winner...1-2 Leagues between them....
KEF R300 are more musical, deep bass and atmospheric/
Tough choice to make. Kef seems a bit more -in your face while the dali have a more laid back effect with more holographic representation. What's the price point between the two?
The Dali is about 30+% higher in cost. In person though, the Dalis are more forward & rhythmic. It probably sounds more forward in the recording for the Kef due to the waveguide & 3-way design. Both are great speakers with the Kef having advange in balance, vocals and bass. While the Dali is energetic, open and yes holographic.
Dali 👍👍
The Dalis sound like they don't have midrange. The Kefs sound much more natural.
They do have midrange, in fact their mids are more fleshed out than most speakers I have tried. Perhaps its just a bit leaner. Some say this is because it is much lower in distortion due to Dali SMC. Could also be because they are wide dispersion by design and a bit tilted up in the treble on axis. Could also be because The onkyo driving them (which are leaner in character) are exacerbating this trait.
Kef sounds more fun and alive!
But Dali sounded more audiophile and serious listening 👍
Other way around..
KEF WAS MORE SOLID,,,,,,,,DALI SOUNDED THIN .....100% FOR KEF
The Dali makes the KEF somewhat muffled. For me clarity & detail is important so Dali wins here.
Narrower vs wider dispersion. Some would say that narrower dispersion actually has more clarity and detail due to less room interaction. But you do notice that it isn't as "ear filling" in mid to treble.
@@RennieAsh perhaps u r rite but KEF has always been a tad muffled to me. Even the hi end Ref 1 which i heard driven by exp accuphase sounded veiled. I dun know abt u but for me a veiled sound is no good, wide dispersion or not
Dali is the better all round speaker here, an easy win.
KEF was more musical, immersive, and enjoyable 75% of the time. The Rubi2 shined on the last track and on segments where there was more space between notes.
Rubicon 2 or Buchardt s400
Rubicon 2 easily. but if you like bass extension, s400 has more of that
Dali more accurate bass and detailed high frequencies... better impulsive responce...no chance for kef!
Thoughts?
both are great and plays on different strengths. I honestly think the Dali is a bit higher level (it costs 50% more than the R300). The Dali is super rhythmic with lots of insight, microdynamics, energy, clarity and engagement. However, the sound can sometimes be too much for some people and the mids & bass can be lean on certain occasions(it has plenty of texture & nuance though). The Kef on the other hand seems warmish neutral with floor-stander level bass and unmatched imaging due to uniQ technology. Vocals are also very good to great. Its a much easy to live with sound but needs careful positioning so the sound will not be dull due to the strong bass (in this demo, I was already using partial foam plugs)
@@mykeldg thanks for the review 👍🏻
The other problem with KEF is they will no doubt be fitting Meta technology to their whole speaker range eventually.. so it's tempting to wait for those versions to arrive I think!
@@jules153 that is also the reason I skipped the r3 -- might as well wait for an updated version. that said, I didnt expect to like the r300 as much as I currently do. and for the low price you can get them in the used market, they are a steal.
The R3 is better than the LS50 Meta no question....
Also the LS50 sounds muddled with orchestral tracks. The concentric driver has its limits
I prefer Dali.
Kef vs Dynaudio
Dynaudio 😄👍
To me KEF sounds more forward, DALI is warmer…
kef
the kef is all around better
Have anyone compared these to Dynaudio EMIT 20 & Audiovector QR1. Cant decide. What a track list btw!
The QR1 really had rythm but the EMIT20 has the best bass I've ever heard from a speaker this size under 2000 EUR.
yup dynes are really great with bass. the X18 for me had better bass than even the Kef r300. a friend did say dynes (subjectively) lacked rhythm for him -- so I guess it depends on your preference & priorities. there is a new M20 so maybe you should audition that as well. unfortunately I haven't heard the audio vectors yet.
kef r300 vs wharfedale linton heritage
Kef R300 probably especially for imaging, detail & clarity. but if you want warm Big sound, the linton is massive speaker.
Dali is betther?
If you love the Dali sound,--- yes ---- Dali is way better. (More insight, clarity, super rhythmic, microdynamics). Kef strength is in the Bass, focus/coherence, vocals & Imaging and can be easily heard in this demo. Also the treble is also very detailed but does not become bright like the Dalis.
@@mykeldg hi, nice video. I am tempting to buy a second hand r300 at 700 euros. Room size 40 to 45cm2, current amp. Rotel RA1520 .

KEF is better.
winner dali :)
Dali can get fatiguing even with these super lean audiophile tracks. I can’t imagine sitting through Michael Jackson’s Beat It with either one of these “analytical” speakers. Sorry, most modern music has 30 times more layers than these audiophile songs with one guitar and one vocal and a polite drum that doesn’t demand much from the speaker’s crossover.
they are definitely less forgiving depending on the source track as it is more transparent. it is also less forgiving on placement (the room treatment I had when i did this video was horrible making it sound bright). out of all the speaker i tried, this one can handle the most complexity without the soundstage collapsing. But i believe complexity can easily be handled by any speaker above $500 if the amp and source are up to the task. i could not use super famous songs like MJ as they get muted due to copywrite.
@@mykeldg thanks!
Dalí is sooooo much better I don' t even know what we are talking about. It s like the kef has no upper midrange...the difference is incredible....
Kef loses in the upper frequencies in almost all tests.
Not really sure how useful a comparison like this is, or for that matter, listening to any speaker playing on a youtube video is. You're not really hearing the speakers. You're hearing the speakers the video is playing through. How those speakers really sound is not being faithfully rendered by this video. I guess you can get an idea...maybe, but that's about it. I still like watching the videos anyway.
Yup its just for fun. I guess you can hear the relative difference between the 2 speakers if u use neutral headphones. But its true nothing beats a personal demo especially when making big purchasing decisions.
@@mykeldg Thank you for not taking offense at my comment. As I said, I still enjoy watching and listening to these videos. Who is the artist playing the funk category. Reminds me of old Santana. Great stuff! The little girl is adorable. Thank you for the video.
You can clearly hear a difference in sound signature on youtube. Im absolutely sick of people leaving these smart ass comments criticising demo videos on TH-cam. Everyone knows TH-cam is compressed junk, EVERYONE. How else is the creater supposed to share his experience? Organise home visits for all youtube viewers. Piss off
KEF only has more artificial air to every music. I don't like it.
KEF is just head and shoulders above the Rubi2
I bought r 300 used them for a week and never used them again....they suck ls50 is Ok ...but have moved on from these cheap speakers...go for audiovector or trennel and friedels ARTS ......
yes they tend to sound a bit on the boring side. and timbre is a bit metallic.
Rubicon superior to KEF r300
