What reviewers think
Bloggers and YouTubers have tried this product—so we've summarized their strongest opinions below. Links to full reviews follow.
Product Strengths
- The Asylab C6B offers exceptional value, rivaling and outperforming speakers costing two to five times as much
- The speaker provides a wide soundstage with precise imaging, maintaining focus even when toed out
- Neutral tonality suitable for various music genres, including Norah Jones, Michael Jackson, Dire Straits, rock, jazz, and rap
- Consistent horizontal radiation pattern with excellent depth layering
- Smooth frequency response allows for easy EQ adjustments to tailor sound to personal preferences
Product Considerations
- An amplifier capable of handling a 4-ohm load is required, with at least 100W or more recommended
- Limited SPL output capability, especially in the mid-bass, may require a subwoofer for extended low-frequency content
- The matte finish on the cabinet can be difficult to clean and may attract dust
- Bass response rolls off around 50 Hz in-room
Comparisons (according to reviewers)
- Vs Audio Physic Fidelia, the C6B offers a little more air in female vocals and cymbals, while the Fidelia has slightly more meat in the lower midrange
- Vs KEF Conerto Q Meta, the C6B sounds brighter and more detailed than the KEF Conerto Q Meta, which is described as sounding darker
- Vs Revel F35, the C6B has less intense high frequencies and comparable bass intensity
Takeaway: The Asylab C6B provides game-changing performance for its price point and will enhance the music listening experience. It is an exceptional value.
What are hifi reviews useful for? (1) Identifying products you should demo in person at a dealer. (2) Learning which products reviewers unanimously praise as the best they've heard (this means they probably are legitimately great). (3) Identifying a product's attributes that satisfy your idiosyncratic needs and tastes. Beyond that, we often discount what reviewers say because they heap praise on most products—and are often apprehensive about publishing strong criticism or comparisons between products. Further, they seldom have more than a few products on-hand, often relying on their memories to compare past products. Always listen for yourself.

Reviews
The DALI FAZON SAT is an elegant and stylish satellite speaker in die-cast aluminium. Its compact size makes it a discreet solution for any stereo, surround sound and TV setup.Die-Cast AluminiumThe organic lines of the die-cast aluminium enclosure combined with enhanced structural integrity, reduced vibration and non-parallel surfaces, are all key elements in the pure, musical tone.Wood Fibre ConesBased on the MENTOR and IKON series, low-loss FAZON series drivers feature low-mass paper cones with wood fibre reinforcement.Curved DesignThe curved lines of FAZON series cabinets eliminate reflections and standing waves.Secure TerminalsEvery speaker in the FAZON series features easy-to-use push button terminals for a secure connection that won't loosen over time.
DALI is a speaker brand known for its unique hybrid tweeter module that combines a soft dome and planar ribbon tweeter, along with proprietary Soft Magnetic Compound technology that reduces distortion. Their speakers feature distinctive wood fiber cones and are designed to be used without toe-in, which creates a broader, more even spread of sound across the listening area.
Expand Details
Product Strengths
- The DALI Fazon Sat has a curved chassis made from dense cast aluminum that does not resonate
- The DALI Fazon Sat has a locking gimbaled mount to point the speaker, and a knurled knob to lock the speaker into position
- The DALI Fazon Sat has a magnetic grille with no visible fasteners
- The DALI Fazon Sat has a simultaneously techy and elegant look
- The DALI Fazon Sat assembles fairly easily, whether wall-mounted or used on the stand
Product Considerations
- The tiny screw terminals on the Fazon Sat for the speaker cables proved a little cumbersome, and limit the use of thin cables
- Although the Fazon Sat's bass response is rated to 86 Hz, its 4 1?2-inch woofer cannot deliver much volume at that frequency without distorting
- A high crossover point is needed to reduce upper bass distortion with the Fazon Sat
Takeaway: The DALI Fazon Sat speakers have great build quality and are easy to mount. They are sleek and will look good in your home.
