REVIEW

Ultimately, though, there’s not what you’d describe as a huge difference between the performance of the Rubicon 6C with Sound Hub and a pair of passive Rubicon 6 driven by something like a Naim Nait XS3 integrated amplifier at a broadly similar price. Granted these are different solutions creating very different systems and connectivity options, but this misses the point. This is a wireless system that takes on a highly-respected ‘conventional’ audio system and stands toe-to-toe with it on performance terms. We started wireless on convenience terms, but just look how far we’ve come!

Take it on its own terms and there’s plenty to admire about the DALI Rubicon 6C system. It combines an extensive specification (with upgrade potential), impressive workmanship (especially in the loudspeakers themselves, naturally), and expansive, robust and impressively balanced sound. Leveraging the power of BluOS makes it a very potent performer in sonic terms, too. If this is the future of wireless audio, it’s in good hands.
