Overview
The MENTOR 6 is the first floor standing speaker in the MENTOR Series.
The driver configuration of MENTOR 6 is a 2½ way bass reflex speaker with 2 x 6.5" proprietary bass/midrange drivers and the newest generation of the proprietary DALI ribbon/soft dome hybrid tweeter module. However, as the dome and the ribbon do not cover the same frequency range, one could call it a 2½ plus ½ way. The advantage is accurate sound with high frequencies suitable for SACD and DVD-Audio recordings.
As all MENTOR models, the MENTOR 6 features a luxurious matt laquer and real wood veneer finish, curved front and rear as well as paper/wood fibre cones and the hybrid tweeter module.
The MENTOR Series is developed, designed, hand-built, assembled and individually tested at the DALI factory in Denmark.

About the brand
Since 1983 DALI - Danish Audiophile Loudspeaker Industries - has designed, developed and produced hi-fi loudspeakers with one goal only. To fulfill our vision of how loudspeakers should sound, look and feel.
At DALI we are driven by raw enthusiasm and optimism on a never-ending journey to satisfy our audiophile ideas of what good loudspeakers are.
When we write "In Admiration Of Music" it is much more than a nice sounding motto. It is the very foundation on which we develop and produce speakers. We love music, we love sound, which is why we strive for the ultimate in sound reproduction in every DALI product.
We know that we have reached our goal - so will you when you listen to our loudspeakers.

Lyd & Bilde, December 2006, Norway:
"These loudspeakers are almost criminally good at the asking price. And that’s not something we often say about speakers in this price range. The new DALI Mentor 6 could even teach some expensive High End’ers a trick or two."
"With costly solutions at a reasonable price, those speakers offered genuine hi-fi sound without squeezing your wallet."
"They are among the best we have ever encountered at any price."
"The solid terminals take banana plugs and spade lugs, as well as bare wire and you can tighten them to your heart’s content. This is a good example of how DALI is above using off-the-shelf solutions just to save a few pennies."
"Just as a capable subwoofer can add an extra octave at the bottom end, it feels almost as if DALI adds an extra octave at the top end."
"Mentor 6 is very nearly the perfect all-round loudspeaker."
"Mentor 6 is among the finest loudspeakers that we have reviewed this year and can definitely make life rough, not only for the competition, but also for DALI’s own line-up."
