    Great review! I have just bought (2 weeks ago) some Rubikore 6s. Wow! They were amazing immediately..... but after 50-60 hours of running in they are totally incredible!

      For sure even the 2s are amazing..... but the 6s are another level. Listen to Anouar Brahem on ECM's 'Madar' and Cassandra Wilson's 'Redbone' on Blue Note's 'Blue Light Till Dawn' album.

    Great review. I ordered a pair of these today. I had the Rubicon 2 before (before my previous LS50 Meta) so I hope that these Rubikores are even better. I also hope that my A1 (2023) will be enough to drive them.

      Can you compare the directly to the Rubicon 2? How do you like them in comparison?

      @007soedal Месяц назад

      @@SalvadorZerker Can't compare directly.since Its 4-5 years since I had the Rubicons. I hope that the Rubikores have less energy in the 4KHz region as this was a bit problematic with the Rubicons.The measurements in Mads review would indicate that the frequency response is a bit better with the Rubicore 2s.

    • @RennieAsh
      @RennieAsh Месяц назад

      Those measurements are very smoothed.
      Erin's Audio Corner measured a bigger Rubikore speaker on the Klippel; Dali has a house sound so it's likely that the bookshelf will be somewhat similar to those

    • @MadAudiofficial
      @MadAudiofficial  Месяц назад

      @ You’re right, the measurements are smoothed, and that’s intentional. I don’t focus too much on small dips or peaks because they can often be distractions from the bigger picture. As Dr. Siegfried Linkwitz once said, vision and hearing are two different senses, what you see in measurements isn’t always exactly what you’re hearing. I use basic measurements to quickly compare speakers after listening tests, just to see if what I perceive aligns with the data. Ultimately, my goal is to focus on the listening experience, not getting too caught up in every little fluctuation in the graph.

    Very nice review, thank you!
    I've heard Rubikore 2s at Zagreb "TooLoud" Audio Festival, connected to a Musical Fidelity A1 amp. I liked that combination very much, especially the fulness of presentation, having in mind that the listening room was 100+ m2.
    I am very sensitive to "over-cooked" treble, but nothing was bothering me with that combination, so I was wondering what exactly you thought was wrong with it?
    Thanks!
