Dali Menuet Special Edition
Compact bookshelf speaker from Dali, featuring a wild walnut cabinet and an audiophile-grade crossover with Mundorf capacitors.
Description
The Dali Menuet Special Edition is a compact 2-way bookshelf speaker, designed to deliver a refined sound despite its small footprint. It stands out for its wild walnut cabinet, whose finish gives each pair a unique wood appearance.
A 28 mm soft textile dome tweeter equips this speaker for treble reproduction, paired with an 11 cm wood fibre woofer for midrange and bass frequencies. The crossover, set at 3,000 Hz, incorporates audiophile-grade capacitors from Mundorf, selected following listening tests, on a circuit board chosen for its high electrical isolation limiting interference.
With a sensitivity of 86 dB and a nominal impedance of 4 ohms, the Menuet SE accepts a power handling of between 20 and 100 W, for a maximum sound level of 105 dB. Its frequency response spans from 59 Hz to 25 kHz (+/- 3 dB), a range consistent with the speaker's compact format, which prioritises precision over extension in deep bass.
This model is aimed at enthusiasts seeking a small bookshelf speaker, suited to near-field listening in a living room or office, particularly for those who value careful cabinet finishing as much as crossover quality.

What to check before buying used
The suspension of the 11 cm woofer deserves a visual check: on a speaker of this age, it can stiffen or crack, which affects bass reproduction. The tweeter's textile dome must be free of deformation or dents, an impact sufficient to alter its sound could be a concern. The walnut cabinetwork, unique to each pair, is worth examining from several angles to spot chipping, veneer lifting or discolouration of the varnish.
