DALI’s original Katch was a hit from the moment it went on sale. The company combined its driver know-how with a piece of industrial design that was a cut above the rest. When I did a Bluetooth speaker Group Test back in HFC 443, the Katch was comfortably the best. Time waits for nobody though, and DALI has been tweaking it to keep it competitive.
