Dali is a high-end Danish hi-fi manufacturer with a history dating back to the early 1980s. The brand, which stands for “Danish Audiophile Loudspeaker Industries,” specializes in extremely high-end loudspeakers — its flagship Kore floorstanders, for example, command a price tag upwards of $120,000.
Flipping expectations on their head, the revered audio maker just announced an affordable pair of bookshelf speakers, named the Kupid, which it claims represent “a new entry point to genuine hi-fi sound.”

Entry-level price
Let’s start with the price — the Dali Kupid are £299 or €338 per pair, which comes out to around $400. It’s a far cry from the brand’s other most recent pair of bookshelf speakers, the Epikore 3, which go for $15,000.
Despite the accessible price, Dali claims that the Kupid loudspeakers share the same DNA as its higher-end Kore and Epikore loudspeaker lines, but “delivers it in a smaller, more approachable package ideal for modern living spaces.”
