{"product_id":"daliepikore9white","title":"DALI Epikore 9 Floorstanding Speakers, Gloss White (Pair)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe DALI Epikore 9 is a 4-way floorstanding speaker from the Danish Epikore series with an EVO-K hybrid tweeter and dual 20 cm bass – in this version under a pure, multi-layer polished Gloss White.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhite is the newest finish in the Epikore range, and it has a practical advantage: a 1.31-metre-tall tower looks noticeably lighter in a bright lacquer than its actual 64 kilograms. Underneath the lacquer sits the same technology as in every Epikore 9 variant – tweeter module, 6.5-inch midrange driver, two 8-inch woofers with SMC Gen 2 magnet system, all made in Denmark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Epikore 9?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause four ways are more than a number on a spec sheet. Every frequency range gets its own specialist, split at 400, 3,100 and 12,500 Hz. The hybrid module made of a 35 mm dome and planar magnetostat reaches up to 34 kHz, the two 20 cm woofers reach down to 29 Hz. Nothing in between is left unattended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you hear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrecision without coldness. The Epikore 9 resolves very finely, yet never sounds analytical – that Danish school of thought. With large orchestras the order stays intact where smaller speakers have long since given up. With 88 dB sensitivity and 4 Ω nominal impedance it has a healthy appetite; DALI states 40 to 500 watts as a sensible range. HD Zürisee in Wädenswil helps you work out which amplifier within that range actually fits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Epikore 9 suitable for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLet's be clear: for large, well-furnished rooms from about 30 square metres upwards – and for people willing to spend a few weekends on placement. In small rooms or on an underpowered amplifier, plenty of potential goes to waste. But if you have the space and a proper amp, you almost certainly won't need another speaker afterwards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Gloss White, the Epikore 9 is the most homely variant of a very serious design – large, but surprisingly unobtrusive to look at. The specialist press confirms that the technology behind it delivers: \"Recommended Reference Component\" at SoundStage!

The pure white under piano lacquer visually lightens a 1.31-metre-tall tower and harmonises with bright walls, oak floors and plenty of daylight. The grilles are magnetic and lift off without a trace – without them, the speaker shows off its four drivers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much amplifier power does the Epikore 9 need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDALI states 40 to 500 watts. But what matters isn't the wattage figure so much as stability at 4 Ω: two 20 cm woofers per side draw a fair amount of current under transient load. An amplifier with a strong power supply sounds more composed driving this speaker than a pure spec-sheet monster with a high rated output.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow many ways does the Epikore 9 really have?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFour. DALI crosses over at 400, 3,100 and 12,500 Hz, giving four branches: two 8-inch woofers, one 6.5-inch midrange driver, the 35 mm soft-dome, and above it the 10 × 55 mm planar magnetostat. So the treble range itself is split again – that's the core idea of the EVO-K module.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the Epikore 9 in white from HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause with us you have a contact who actually knows the speaker.
