Dali launches the Rubicon loudspeaker family-- a range of 5 models claiming to push "mid-price" hi-fi speakers further by packing innovations from the flagship Epicon range.

The Rubicon lineup consists of the compact Rubicon 2, the floorstanding Rubicon 5, 6 and 8 and the on-wall Rubicon LCR. All carry 16.5cm wood fibre cones and Dali's SMC (soft magnetic compound) magnet motor system derived from the Epicon series, and bass ports for each woofer.

The Rubicon 5, 6, 8 and LCR also carry the Dali hybrid tweeter module-- a combination of 29mm soft dome and high performance ribbon tweeter the company says helps with sound dispersion.

Interestingly the LCR features a rotating tweeter module for use as a centre channel in a a surround setup, and a bass output powerful enough to replace the need for a separate subwoofer.

All Rubicon loudspeakers feature solid MDF cabinets. The floorstanders  carry bi-wire connections and the Rubicon 2 and LCR having single-ended speaker inputs.

The range will be available from June 2014 in 4 finishes-- walnut, rosso, high-gloss white and high-gloss black.
