How loud a loudspeaker can play and still sound good depends entirely on the signal it
has to reproduce. This means that it is not possible to define a specific signal level to
use when comparing different speakers.
Processing a pure, undistorted signal from a powerful amplifier is easier than
processing a distorted signal from a low-power amplifier pushed beyond its capacity.
The signal from a distorting (clipping) amplifier contains much more high-frequency
information than an undistorted signal, and therefore puts a heavy strain on the
tweeters. As a result, loudspeakers are often damaged by low-power amplifiers
that are forced to work too hard – and very rarely by powerful amplifiers, which are
practically running idle most of the time.
It is also worth noting that turning tone controls on your amplifier above the neutral
setting significantly burdens both loudspeakers and amplifier. On a good sound
system, tone controls should only be used to compensate for poor recordings and
not to permanently compensate for weaknesses elsewhere in the system.
For this reason, DALI recommends that the tone controls are generally set to
the neutral position. You can achieve your desired sound image by positioning the
loudspeakers correctly. Keep the volume low enough to keep the sound clear and
undistorted. This will minimise the load on the speakers and amplifier.
All DALI loudspeakers are designed with linear impedance for an optimal amplifier
load. The result is a significantly more open and detailed sonic image.

Every room has its own distinctive acoustics. These affect the way we experience
sound from a loudspeaker. The sound you hear is made up of direct sound from
the loudspeakers and reflected sound from the floor, ceiling and walls. The latter
affects the way you experience the sound. As a general rule, try to avoid large, hard,
reflective surfaces in the immediate vicinity of your loudspeakers, as these tend
to cause strong reflections that can affect the accuracy and spaciousness of the
sound reproduction. Reflections can be reduced by placing a plant between the
loudspeaker and the reflective surface. Soft objects such as carpets, curtains, etc.
may help if the sound is too bright. The amount and quality of deep bass depend on
the size and shape of the room and the position of the loudspeakers. Placing the
loudspeakers close to a side or back wall will emphasise the bass. Placing them in
corners will accentuate the bass even more, but will also increase reflections.
