DALI Callisto Speakers with BluOS Module Preview

Dali Callisto is such an innovative product that when I heard the floorstanding version, I immediately worked on getting a pair of the stand-mounted units, the 3-way, 2C.

The speakers are controlled by the DALI Sound Hub, the accompanying component that allows multiple inputs both analog and digital. The Hub is a modular design with available rear slots for two modules. My review units arrived with a slot occupied by the BluOS module giving the system access to the platform’s high-resolution audio and multiroom capability.

DALI incorporated Bluetooth, including Apt-X and Apt-X HD and with my BluOS app, I can control the system through my Wi-Fi. With the death of Aretha Franklin within days of receiving the system, I couldn’t help but listen to a bit of her voice and music. Note on the video the LED light bar along the bottom as it moves across indicating the volume level.

As a kid I wasn’t frugal with money, but so glad my brother was. He worked and saved to buy audio gear that I was able to enjoy. I was hooked on hifi. When I graduated from college, I rewarded myself with a pair of KEF speakers and a Denon Turntable and amplifier. They were my prized possessions. Today as an architect, my passion for music and film match my joy for architecture - art is art. Involved with Secrets for many years now, I’m able to enjoy some great gear and I do love it all, analog (vinyl and tubes) and digital (high-res and solid state). My approach to reviewing is with an openness and unbiased enthusiasm as I do think the art of high fidelity is subjective. Whether you believe the goal of hifi equipment is to capture the quality of a live performance or to faithfully reproduce the artist’s studio recording isn’t relevant, it’s the pure enjoyment at all levels that matter.
