Wharfedale AstonvsDali Rubicon 2
The Dali Rubicon 2 stands 35.3 cm tall — about 1.3 cm more than the Wharfedale Aston at 34.0 cm. At 87 dB against 86 dB, the Dali Rubicon 2 is the easier load to drive and plays louder from the same amplifier. The Dali Rubicon 2 reaches deeper in the bass, down to 50 Hz versus 55 Hz. Low frequencies come from a 150 mm cone on the Wharfedale Aston and a 165 mm cone on the Dali Rubicon 2. Both land in a similar price bracket, around $3,000 a pair.
