D&M Holdings has added a new finish “MENUET SE Natural Walnut” to DALI’s compact speaker “MENUET SE” series. Priced at ¥308,000 (pair, tax included), released on November 26, 2025.
Responding to Trends Emphasizing Interior Harmony
The new “Natural Walnut” finish features a matte, natural walnut appearance, added in response to current trends emphasizing harmony with interior design.
This brings the “MENUET SE” series to a two-finish lineup, including the existing “Wild Walnut.” While Wild Walnut emphasizes the beauty of wood grain, Natural Walnut offers a more natural and subdued impression.
Authentic Sound Despite Compact Size
The “MENUET SE” series is an evolution of the “MENUET,” which gained popularity for its compact size that fits any room and rich, musical sound that defies its appearance.
Despite being a small speaker, DALI’s technology is generously applied, giving it the ability to faithfully reproduce musical details. The bass presence, midrange warmth, and high-frequency extension are harmoniously balanced.
Compatible with Wide Range of Interior Styles
The addition of the new “Natural Walnut” finish allows the “MENUET SE” to be compatible with an even wider range of interior styles.
The natural texture matches not only modern spaces but also Japanese-style rooms and Scandinavian interiors, harmonizing beautifully as part of the space beyond just enjoying music.
Evolution from MENUET to MENUET SE
The “MENUET” has been a long-beloved compact speaker model in DALI’s lineup. Its sound quality and ease of use have received support from many audio enthusiasts.
The “MENUET SE” is an evolved model that inherits this design philosophy while achieving further sound quality improvements. Refinements to the driver units and crossover circuit realize more sophisticated sound.
