Brand highlights
We analyzed reviewers' thoughts of the brand's entire lineup—not just this product—and what stands out most is the following:
Select products
Every model pairs a 1 inch dome tweeter with a deep waveguide and a 1.1 kHz crossover, which lowers distortion in a compact cabinet. The C6B is the entry model and suits a small room. The F6B in the middle swaps in an SB Acoustics fiber cone woofer and an aluminum tweeter at the same size. The A6B at the top adds a Purifi woofer and dual passive radiators, so bass reaches 38 Hz at the 6 dB point and it plays louder in a bigger room.
- Start here. A first buyer with a small room and under $500 to spend should take the C6B, which has the full waveguide design and bass to 50 Hz.
- Sweet spot. The F6B suits a listener who wants an SB Acoustics driver and the same 50 Hz bass reach as the C6B while paying well under the A6B bracket.
- All in. The A6B costs well above the F6B and is a bigger bass take on the same design, giving a large room buyer deeper bass and 105 dB peaks from its added bass drivers.

- Astonishing build quality with robust and weighty die-cast aluminium enclosures and a luxurious finish

Takeaway: The Apex system offers detailed and powerful sound, with an astonishing build quality. It is a great choice for those seeking audiophile-level sound in a compact and stylish package.

Our take on the brand
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.
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.
