Bookshelf Speakers — DALI RUBICON 2 C

The RUBICON 2 C brings DALI's more accomplished current engineering to a compact active loudspeaker format.

Key specs that matter

Rated response is 46Hz to 26,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. Internal amplification delivers a substantial 250W - considerably more than DALI's more accessible OBERON active models.

Sound and use context

Expect explosive dynamic headroom reflecting the substantial 250W internal amplification, combined with the refined driver engineering DALI's premium Rubicon series is known for throughout its passive and active offerings.

Pairing

As a fully active design, the RUBICON 2 C requires no external power amplifier, connecting directly to a source component or preamplifier with line-level or wireless streaming input.

Alternatives

DALI's more accessible OBERON 1 C offers a lower-cost active alternative with more modest internal amplification, worth considering instead if the RUBICON 2 C's premium positioning exceeds what a specific budget requires.
