====================================================Mentor menuet is a far superior speaker to the ikon. My ikon audition endeds in less than 5 minutes. Could not stand how grainy the speaker was.
Thanks all for the input what about focal 806v music direct has recommended these the prob is I stay away from the city so auditions are a prob,do let me know your thoughts on focal and where I can get them.
Mentor menuet is a far superior speaker to the ikon. My ikon audition ended in less than 5 minutes. Could not stand how grainy the speaker was.
Focal 806v is a very nice speaker. You will need a bit of amping to get it to sing though. But if the speaker is fed enough power, it will sound very nice.
Also, Focal 806v is a much bright speaker in comparison to Dali Ikon.
Mentor Menuet is definitely a much better speaker, so long as one can live with the limitations imposed by the 4.5 inch midwoofer.
Could you recall what was the equipment you heard the Ikon with? I am pretty sure you are describing the electronics in the chain rather than the Dali Ikon speakers.
I have used Dali Ikon with extremely upstream components and I haven't come across any speaker inside USD 4000 that combines so many strong points as the Dali Ikon. Grainy is the last thing one can term Dali Ikon as. If it was grainy, it won't be able to keep company with USD 25k worth of electronics.
I even had the famous Tannoy supertweeter ST-200 in my system for an extended period of time. The highs from the Dali Ikon were more grainless than the Tannoy ST-200.
I wonder what is your basis of that comment.
Electronics was a Symphonic Line RG10 and an Ayon CD player. We even tried it with a Leben CS600. This audition was done at ARN systems bangalore.
None of these electronics is what I'd call unrefined or grainy. In fact there were a few more speakers at the showroom which sounded perfectly good with the same electronics.

Very odd. Hard to explain.
