To recap

It might seem obvious that £3800 speakers are very good indeed, but expensive things are not always better. The Dali Epicon 2 speakers, however, are better than everyone we’ve tested or heard in our life in this price range. Sure, you can spend less - Dali has speakers that are more affordable - but we doubt there’s much that can come close to the overall performance of these speakers. If it helps, these are an investment and, more than likely, the only set of stereo speakers you’ll ever need.
