Interestingly, the AF-1.9’s extended high-energy treble and horn-augmented bass power kept the geometric center (footnote 4) of the Hagen2’s passband in approximately the same relative position as that of my Falcon Gold Badges, making the two speakers sound surprisingly similar. The Falcon’s narrower bandwidth rolls off symmetrically top to bottom. The same is true of the wider-bandwidth Hagens.

If you’re an LS3/5a person, you will immediately get what these Hagens are about. Similarly, the Hagen2’s sound character reminded me of what I regard as my #1 most accurate best-imaging in-house transducer: RAAL’s full-range Requisite SR1a ribbon headphones. They do transients, image purity, and uncompressed dynamics with a remarkably similar feel.

Among bookshelf, or stand mount speakers, the DALI Epikore 3 has no equal in my experience. They play with as much or more bass than many towers I’ve heard and render music with a precision you won’t find outside a high-end electrostat. They’re gorgeous to look at too with a finish on a level with the finest furniture.

My biggest takeaway is how easy they are to listen to. Many speakers impress for an hour or two until fatigue sets in. The Epikore 3s have none of that. I listened for many hours at a stretch, at high volume levels, to tracks both bad and good, and never tired. The best music moved me, and I always felt as though a live performance was taking place. It really doesn’t get much better than that.
