Sounding like something from an Ian Fleming novel, the Spektor 6 is the Danish company’s most affordable floorstander. Despite this, few of the company’s design flourishes seem to have been omitted on what sounds like a speaker that’s more expensive than its sticker price.
It has a pair of 165mm mid/bass drivers and a 25mm tweeter, the former using paper cones reinforced with wood fibre, said to minimise resonance. The tweeter is a woven fabric soft-dome design claimed to weigh half the average of its market rivals, at 0.056mg/mm 2 ; this should bring faster transients and higher efficiency. The drivers are carefully matched so the crossover doesn’t need to be as complex as it would otherwise be, the maker explains.
A fairly easy-to-drive design with a quoted sensitivity of 88.5dB, DALI puts its nominal impedance at 6ohm, which is a little lower than some here. Frequency response is quoted at 43Hz – 26kHz (+/-3 dB). The bass reflex-loaded cabinet is reasonably well made and finished, although not the sleekest looking here; a choice of three vinyl wrap finishes are offered – black ash, walnut and white.
