The Epikore 11 incorporates low-loss technology to deliver effortless explosive dynamic response from the subtlest of micro details to the grand scale of a live concert. The tall, luxurious form of the Epikore 11 with laminated real wood veneer and luxurious piano-finish lacquering is a masterpiece of construction. The completely inert and stiff structure also creates the perfect low-resonance environment for an astoundingly authentic musical reproduction.
Introduced in flagship DALI KORE loudspeaker, SMC Gen-2 is the latest generation of patented magnet material technology, providing astonishingly low levels of loss and distortion for a highly dynamic and authentic sound reproduction. SMC Gen-2 is incorporated into the Epikore bass and midrange drivers, as well as in the crossover inductor cores. The ultimate goal of SMC technology is to make the reproduction of sound so free of distortion that you aren't able to tell the difference between a live or recorded performance.
The Epikore 11 includes signature paper and wood fibre cone technology, which reduces weight and adds stiffness to help promote non-resonant break-up characteristics. With wood fibre cone technology, the Epikore 11 produces the finest musical details and dynamics.

Together with extremely powerful neodymium magnet motor systems, they deliver a crystal clear, high-frequency reproduction at any volume. It is rare to find such loudspeakers that combine wonderful look and great music and Dali should very high on your list if you want top speakers. ■
