First unveiled at CES in Las Vegas in January, Dali's 25th Anniversary Limited Edition Helicon 400Mk2 speaker is now available for £5300 a pair.

The speakers are finished in high-gloss piano black and feature a gold badge on the front of the cabinet, plus a Limited Edition nameplate on the rear.

The Helicon 400 LE 25th features a proprietary 25mm Dali hybrid tweeter module, combining a ribbon and a low-mass, soft-dome, and two high-performance 16.5cm mid/woofer drivers with Class A magnet systems.

Internally, the crossover uses audiophile grade components similar to those used in Dali's Euphonia series.

And the speakers are fitted with dual sets of vice-grip screw terminals for biwiring or biamping.

The Helicons measure 102.7cm x 26.8 x 50.2cm (hwd), weigh 32Kg and are magnetically shielded. Nominal impedance is 4ohms, recommended amp power is 50-300w and sensitivity is 88db/w/m.
