The DALI SONIK 9 is the flagship floorstanding model in DALI’s SONIK series, designed for large rooms and high-performance stereo or home theater use. It combines three 7-inch Clarity Cone™ low-loss bass/midrange drivers with DALI’s Hybrid Tweeter system (17 x 45 mm planar magnetostatic tweeter plus 29 mm soft dome tweeter) for wide dispersion, strong dynamics, and extended high-frequency detail. It uses DALI’s SMC™ essential magnet system to reduce distortion and improve linearity, and a rear-ported bass reflex cabinet tuned for deep bass performance. Pricing is listed as $4,500 per pair.
