DALI has released the top subwoofer DALI V-16 F – the model has become the culmination of the company's developments in the field of low frequency reproduction. The heart of the sub is the latest 16” driver, which is equipped with a T-shaped ventilated pole piece to ensure symmetrical distribution of magnetic flux through the voice coil. The ventilation hole in this tip expands at both ends, providing turbulent air flow, while two Faraday rings suppress flow modulation.
The voice coil of the bass driver uses a four-layer winding on a ventilated fiberglass former with ultra-low losses and prevention of eddy current accumulation. The woofer diaphragm is made of aluminum - and according to the company, this is the stiffest diaphragm ever installed on a branded drivers. The amplifier used is class D, with a power of 1,500 W (peak power - 2,500 W)
The DALI V-16 F subwoofer cabinet is made of 25 mm thick wood composite panels with 21 mm thick internal braces. Front panel is twice as thick at 50 mm, and the internal bracing supports the bass driver and four 350 mm Continuous Flare ports. The DALI V-16 F active subwoofer will be available in July 2025 for a suggested retail price of $5,999 / €4,999.

Octave Audio V 16 Single Ended – 2 × 8 W Integrated Amplifier
Octave Audio V 16 Single Ended – integrated amplifier with output power of 2 × 8 W, which can function both with highly sensitive loudspeakers and work as a high-quality headphone amplifier.
The CH Precision T10 10MHz Time Reference is Really Impressive
The CH Precision T10 10MHz Time Reference is a new premium clock that is suitable for both the “ultimate” upgrade of the CH Precision C10 Master DAC and for enhancing the sound of any high-end digital audio system. Independent clock domains between the transport and the DAC can introduce discrepancies that blur resolution and disrupt consistency. The CH Precision T10 external clock solves this problem head-on, providing an exceptionally pure 10MHz master clock designed with ultra-low phase noise and virtually eliminated jitter.
WELLFLOAT Delta Extreme II – Decoupling Equipment from the Floor Correctly
The decoupling system for acoustic systems and equipment WELLFLOAT Delta Extreme II offers a unique solution for vibration control. The model is based on a multi-stage pendulum system – similar to those used in physics to detect gravitational waves.
Hegel H150 – an Integrated Amplifier with a Damping Factor of 2,000
The Hegel H150 integrated amplifier has been announced – the model will replace the well-known Hegel H120. The new model will offer a power of 2 x 75 W with a damping factor of 2,000 – that is, there are simply no complex acoustic systems for the device. In addition, the Hegel H150 is equipped with a built-in phono preamplifier and an advanced streamer.
SV Audio GRO – High Performance Loudspeakers
Speakers of the SV Audio (Storgaard & Vestskov) GRO company are a classic two-way solution and are recommended for use in rooms from 15 to 60 m2. The model does not require high input power - the talents of the acoustics are revealed already with 25-watt amplification, since the sensitivity reaches 90 dB.
