August 2025 – Danish Audiophile Loudspeaker Industries (DALI) has officially introduced the KUPID, a bold new compact loudspeaker that blends Scandinavian design, advanced driver technology, and authentic hi-fi performance into an approachable package. With a launch price of £299 per pair, KUPID aims to redefine what’s possible in the entry-level hi-fi category.

“KUPID is about simplicity and sound,” explains Krestian Pedersen, DALI’s Head of Product Management. “It’s for anyone who wants a real Hi-Fi experience without fuss. We’ve distilled decades of speaker design expertise into something easy to live with, easy to love, and capable of making the most of your music.”

Small Form, Big Performance

Though compact enough to sit comfortably on shelves or just an inch from a wall, the KUPID carries the same DNA as DALI’s flagship KORE and EPIKORE loudspeakers. Its 4.5-inch wood-fibre cone mid/bass driver, paired with a custom 26mm soft-dome tweeter, delivers a sound that’s fast, open, and naturally detailed. The drivers are supported by a ferrite magnet system, low-loss rubber surrounds, and precision-tuned crossovers, all working together to create a balanced, room-filling soundstage.

Bass performance, often the Achilles’ heel of small speakers, is handled by DALI’s dual-flare bass reflex port, which reduces turbulence and distortion while extending low-end reach well beyond what you’d expect from this size. Whether played quietly or at higher volumes, KUPID promises clarity, depth, and the unmistakable DALI sound signature.

Scandinavian Design, Playful Finishes

True to DALI’s design ethos, KUPID is built to blend seamlessly into modern living spaces while offering enough visual personality to stand out. It comes in five fresh finishes — Black Ash, Walnut, Caramel White, Golden Yellow, and Chilly Blue — with color-matched cones and magnetic grilles for a clean, minimalist look.

This makes KUPID as much a piece of interior design as a hi-fi component — equally at home in a living room, bedroom, or creative workspace.

Five colorful speakers in a row on a white background; colors include black, yellow, blue, brown, and beige, each with unique patterns.

Plug, Play, and Enjoy

Designed around a “keep it simple” philosophy, KUPID avoids confusing product tiers or technical complexity. It works effortlessly with any amplifier over 4 ohms — from budget-friendly integrateds to premium all-in-one streamer/amp systems. Rubber feet and wall brackets are included for flexible placement, whether you want a desktop system, bookshelf setup, or wall-mounted solution.

At its core, KUPID is amplifier-friendly and fuss-free — an accessible starting point for anyone curious about high-quality sound without the intimidation factor.

A New Chapter for DALI

For DALI, KUPID isn’t just another product launch — it’s a mission statement. By combining authentic hi-fi sound, premium materials, and fresh design at an attainable price, the brand hopes to inspire a new wave of listeners to rediscover music’s magic.

“KUPID is about falling in love with music again,” adds Pedersen. “It’s pure DALI—distilled, simplified, and reimagined for today’s listener.”
