Montreal Audiofest 2025

Lenbrook Americas was demoing a couple of systems in its room, all DALI–NAD–Kimber Kable configurations.

The one I sat down to listen to was the main one abutting the far wall, which consisted of a 200Wpc NAD M23 Master Series power amp ($4899) and M66 streaming preamp ($7499) feeding a pair of DALI EPIKORE-9 speakers ($50,000/pair). Cabling was by Kimber Kable from the company’s Carbon line.

As I’ve come to expect from the synergy between the DALI and NAD gear, the sound was robust, detailed, transparent, and bass-propelled, with a well-delineated soundstage populated by bold, distinct images.
