DALI Unveils KUPID: A Hi-Fi Loudspeaker for Every Music Lover

Experience authentic DALI sound with the compact, stylish KUPID loudspeaker designed for true hi-fi enjoyment at an accessible price.

A Fresh Tune in Hi-Fi: Meet KUPID

If you're like me, someone who treasures the rich layers of music but doesn’t always have space for bulky gear, DALI’s latest launch is music to your ears. August 2025 saw the arrival of the KUPID, a compact powerhouse that’s shaking up the hi-fi scene with its blend of performance, style, and affordability.

Priced at just £299 per pair, KUPID isn’t just another speaker; it’s a gateway to genuine high-fidelity sound. DALI, known for its meticulous craftsmanship and sonic precision, has taken everything they know and distilled it into this approachable, modern speaker. As Krestian Pedersen, DALI’s Head of Product Management, puts it, “KUPID is about simplicity and sound. It’s for anyone who wants a real Hi-Fi experience without any fuss."

Authentic DALI Sound in a Compact Package

What excites me most is how KUPID carries the DNA of DALI’s high-end models like the KORE and EPIKORE. It’s not watered down—it's the same philosophy of precision and musicality, but tailored for a smaller, more livable size.

Imagine a speaker that can sit just an inch from your wall, seamlessly blending into your space without compromising sound quality. That’s KUPID. Its textured magnetic grilles not only look sleek but add to the minimalist Scandinavian design that DALI is famous for.

The color options are a refreshing breath of air for audiophiles and interior designers alike: Black Ash, Walnut, Caramel White, Golden Yellow, and Chilly Blue. Each finish features color-matched bass/midrange cones and grilles, making KUPID as much a visual statement as a sonic one—whether you want to stand out or keep things subtle.

Keep It Simple, Keep It Real

For many, diving into hi-fi can feel like decoding a secret language. KUPID tosses out the jargon and product tiers. There’s just one model, designed to be straightforward for first-time buyers and veterans alike.

Under the hood, it’s packed with DALI’s proprietary tech. The 4½-inch paper and wood fiber bass/midrange driver is a personal favorite element, giving bass that’s tight and fast with a dynamic midrange that really brings vocals and instruments to life.

And the tweeter? A custom 26mm ultra-light soft dome that delivers crisp, extended highs without harshness, wrapped in a baffle design tuned for a seamless soundstage. The result is a balanced, natural listening experience that’s rare at this price.

The dual flare bass reflex port optimizes airflow and cuts down resonance, so the bass hits deeper than you’d expect from a speaker this size—perfect for everything from intimate jazz sessions to your favorite rock anthems.

Plug and Play: Music Made Easy

One of the best parts about KUPID is how it’s designed to work effortlessly with nearly any amplifier. Whether you’ve got a budget-friendly hi-fi amp or an all-in-one streamer system, KUPID rolls with it smoothly, thanks to its consistent impedance above 4 ohms.

Setting it up is a breeze, too—KUPID comes with wall brackets and rubber feet, so you can mount these beauties on the wall or place them on a desk or shelf with equal ease. It fits into your life, not the other way around.

A New Chapter for Hi-Fi Access

KUPID represents more than just a new product; it’s a statement from DALI about making quality sound accessible. By focusing on what really matters—sound quality, build integrity, and timeless design—they’ve stripped away everything unnecessary.

“KUPID is about falling in love with music again. It’s pure DALI—just distilled, simplified and reimagined for today’s listener.”

— Krestian Pedersen, DALI Head of Product Management

Starting October 1st, 2025, KUPID will be available for £299 per pair, or €169 per speaker (€338 per pair), inviting everyone to step into the world of real hi-fi without the intimidation or premium price tag.
