Dali Rubikore 8
High-end floorstanding speaker from Dali, with hybrid dome and planar tweeter, designed for demanding hi-fi systems in natural walnut finish.
Description
The Dali Rubikore 8 is a 2.5-way + 0.5-way floorstanding speaker of bass-reflex design, positioned at the top of the Rubikore range. It is designed to reproduce a wide soundstage with good dynamics, as part of a high-end stereo or home cinema system.
Its configuration relies on three 165 mm drivers with Clarity Cone diaphragm and SMC Gen-2 technology: two woofers dedicated to bass and one midrange, a distribution that allows the acoustic tasks to be separated and limits interaction between the bass and midrange registers. The top of the spectrum is handled by a hybrid tweeter combining a 29 mm soft dome with a 50 mm magnetostatic planar super-tweeter, a combination intended to extend treble reproduction up to 34 kHz while retaining the smoothness of a classic dome within the audible range. The crossover frequencies, set at 500 Hz, 800 Hz, 2,400 Hz and 14,000 Hz, organise the transition between these four transducers. With a sensitivity of 90.5 dB and an impedance of 4 Ω, the Rubikore 8 accepts a recommended power of 40 to 250 W, leaving a comfortable margin for pairing with amplifiers of varying output.
This floorstanding speaker is aimed at enthusiasts seeking a reference speaker for demanding listening, whether for music or home cinema, in a living room where the natural walnut finish of the cabinet naturally finds its place.

What to check before buying used
On this type of floorstanding speaker, it is worth checking the condition of the bass and midrange driver suspensions, which can harden or crack over time, as well as the integrity of the Clarity Cone diaphragms and the tweeter dome. Checking the seal of the bass-reflex port and the fixing of the drivers within the cabinet also helps ensure no unwanted noise will disturb the sound reproduction.
