No doubt about it Dali is the best in every aspects. Kef also sounds amazing but Dali just dominate the show.

[MrDwadi]

Ikon 6 I like bright speakers and also ribbons

[kapslar]

I'm a DALI fan and an owner but I think in this recording KEF has better control and balance of the sound.

[vaidasjakstonis]

I want to see comparisons:
Dali Ikon 6 vs dali opticon 6.
Dali opticon 6 vs focal chorus 726.

[eltonc]

Dali sounds more encompassing and draws you into the music... Kefs sound so muffled...

[sndpds]

Anyone notice the room itself create eco.

[tvmedia]

Somthing in the middle of them :) maybe focal aria 926 or 936.

[dangoh]

KEF the highs are aggressive & overall sound is not involing like the DALI!

[bvolmert]

Both not great.. but I would prefer the Kef in long term listening. Warmer, more relaxed.. Yes, one could say a bit boring but okay.
Imagine listening the Dali long and loud.. You will soon begin to make them "just a bit" quieter... because they are exhausting.
I also agree to the guy who said "maybe something between"

[radimpalus]

I prefer the DALI - they sound more opened, more detailed and full. The KEF sound a bit dull to me with the bass lacking precision.

[bassproable]

Take the pillows off those Kefs.Jeff. But seriously the Kefs are laid back while the Dalis are a bit forward, but I also prefer ribbons.

[paulk]

Dali sounded a little too ‘bright’ and ‘hollow’ to me over YT

[quadcopterhobbyshansie_fpv]

Dali makes the room sound bigger and more echo.. I do not like the accoustics of the room.

Dali Ikon 6 mk2 для ценителей творчества группы Кино. Предпочетателям "Sway" Frank Sinatra - KEF Q700

[happysoul]

KEF = Listening to speakers in a medium sized room. Vocals forwards. A bit in your face sometimes, aggressive sometimes. Fatiguing over long sessions.
DALI = Large sound-stage, reverbs mimicing a small hall. Pleasant but too laid back for some. Fatigue-free listening despite more inner details.
I prefer the DALIs in this shootout.

[petehardwick]

How on earth can you judge? Listening on at best your audio system and at worst your phone.
DALI's definitely. ;0)>

[MAXIMUS_UA]

У KEF звук более дорогой. Как на меня...Слушаю на SONY XA, в Sennheiser cx3.

[energyguruaustralia]

Hahahaha both sound bit muffled, Kef got face mask on, Dali is like adult being strangled by 3 year old child like someone press on the throat.

[kongislander]

Dali sounds like -> Donald Knopfler Duck, KEFs like a good allrounder for all kind of music, with nothing special. Nothing really good, nothing really bad.

[АлександрДевяткин-ощ]

KEF более полновеснее играет.  Dali  --  говно.
