Offered is „Callisto 2C“ by DALI as exhibit from the category „Active Speaker“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 7125224420 ends on 21.10.2026 at 06:32 o'clock.
Timing matters a bit here because this is a wireless active design from the late-2010s era, so the value depends on whether the hub/module setup is complete and whether you want DALI’s system approach rather than a simpler passive speaker upgrade. At €1,398, this is fair to slightly strong versus the used floor shown by current market listings around €1,199 and well below the original €3,950 launch price, so it is not a bargain-basement score but it is still a sensible buy if condition is genuinely good.
What makes it worthwhile is the mix of clean DALI voicing, built-in amplification, and flexible inputs in a compact standmount format; these were positioned as serious active speakers with Bluetooth, digital/analog connectivity, and an optional BluOS path. In good condition, the upside is convenience and performance without needing a separate amp stack, and the asking price leaves room for a careful buyer to focus on accessories and whether the Sound Hub/control package is included, since that’s central to the system’s appeal.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
DALI, or Danish Audiophile Loudspeaker Industries, traces its roots to 1983, when Peter Lyngdorf founded the company in Denmark as the in-house speaker brand for his Hi-Fi Klubben retail chain, established three years earlier. Born in the back office of that operation, DALI quickly outgrew its origins, relocating to a dedicated factory in the small town of Nørager in 1986. There, it has since expanded fourfold, embodying Denmark's storied legacy in audio innovation—from the world's first electro-dynamic loudspeaker to a precise sonic balance that tempers robust bass with refined highs.
The brand's focus remains squarely on loudspeakers, offering nearly twenty lines spanning compact bookshelf models, floorstanders, soundbars, subwoofers, Atmos and in-wall systems, center channels, and wireless options, including portable Bluetooth variants. Each speaker is hand-assembled by a single craftsman, computer-calibrated for consistency, and often features DALI's proprietary wood-fiber cone material for a distinctive look and natural tonality. While production of entry-level models occurs at a Danish-managed facility in China, premium lines emerge from Nørager, upholding meticulous acoustic design under the Low Loss philosophy to minimize distortion.
DALI holds a commanding yet understated position as the world's second-largest cabinet speaker manufacturer, distributed in over 70 countries with undeniable audiophile credentials. Renowned for high-end performance like the MegaLine series, it spans accessible price points to premium tiers, blending Scandinavian design, reliability, and expressive dynamics. Though less heralded in North America, its global reputation among discerning buyers underscores versatile, installer-friendly excellence.
