Overview
The MS5 (MS for Main Speaker) is the flagship of the Euphonia Series. At 124 cm tall and a dead weight of 69 kg, this is an armor-crushing giant of a loudspeaker.
Essentially, the MS 5 is a three-way bass reflex speaker with 2 x 8" bass woofers, 1x 6.5” midrange driver and DALI´s proprietary ribbon/soft dome hybrid tweeter module.
In fact, it is more a three-and-a half-way design, as the dome and the ribbon do not cover the same frequency range. The Hybrid Tweeter Module and the paper/woodfiber cone drivers can be said to be the heart of the Euphonia Series as they are employed throughout the DALI speaker range...
Nothing but seeing and hearing the Euphonia MS5 can describe it! The next best thing is to read other people´s reactions to the MS5 - here are some quotes on the MS5 from Hi-Fi magazines around the world.
The Euphonia Series is the top of the DALI range, developed from scratch using the experience and know-how acquired from the development of the MegaLine and applying them to an all-new design, both visually and sonically.
The development of the Euphonia Series went further than using already known speaker technology. It introduced the new (patent pending) "Hornflex" low resonance cabinet technology and the hybrid tweeter module (now famous from the Helicon and IKON series) where the advantages of a soft dome and a ribbon tweeter are combined in a complete high frequency solution.
The Euphonia Series is developed, designed, hand-built, assembled and individually tested at the DALI factory in Denmark.

*******************************************
Nothing but seeing and hearing the Euphonia MS5 can describe it! The next best thing is to read other people´s reactions to the MS5 - here are some quotes on the MS5 from Hi-Fi magazines around the world.
Stereophile magazine (USA): "For the first time, the moderate volume level that seems, for me, congruent for image size and distance on the recording can clearly be heard."
"Superb value for dollar, rich and full sound at lower volume levels, engaging detail and musicality,"
Udo Pipper from Stereo magazine (Germany): "Thanks to the ingenious tweeter conception the Euphonia´s (MS5) resounded with ardent clarity and transparency."
"Indeed a terrific loudspeaker...somewhat more "joyful" than its little brother (MS4), yet unmistakably superior"
"In terms of measured performance an almost perfect transducer."
Hi-Fi & Musik Magazine (Sweden): "This is definitely a loudspeaker we can unconditionally recommend."
"DALI Euphonia MS5 is such a multi-facetted loudspeaker that no listener will come away disappointed."
"...the upper frequencies - It is without a rival and is perhaps the finest upper range we have heard in this test series. Offhand, we cannot name any speaker that does it better"
