Dali Menuet SE

PASSIVE SPEAKERS

₨1,65,000

For those who are tight on space, the choice of speakers is pretty limited. One of our favourite options here is the long-running Dali Menuet range. We originally reviewed them more than a decade ago, and they have remained essentially unchanged since then. Rather than replace them, Dali has now added this SE model. It’s clear that the company didn’t want to mess with a winning recipe, so changes are subtle.

Immensely solid feel

On the outside, there’s a lovely Wild Walnut real wood veneer covered in an immaculately applied high gloss finish. It’s the only option at the moment. The rest of the tiny 25cm-tall cabinet remains unchanged. It’s about a big as a shoebox and feels immensely solid. Overall build is excellent, and we can think of no similarly priced alternative that does better.
