About the MENUET SE
The DALI MENUET SE is a special edition of the compact MENUET bookshelf speaker, designed for high-end stereo setups in smaller rooms. It features a 2-way bass reflex design with a 4.5-inch (114.3mm / 115mm) wood fibre woofer and a 28mm (1.1-inch) oversized soft dome tweeter. Upgrades include a fibreglass voice-coil former to minimize distortion, premium Mundorf capacitors on an insulated crossover board, high-end gold-plated EPICON series terminals, and silver-plated internal wiring. The cabinet is handcrafted with unique wild walnut high gloss or natural walnut veneer, hand-assembled and signed by a DALI technician.
