On this episode of the AXPONA Audio Insider Podcast, Lenny Florentine sits down with the OG JZ—not the rapper, but Jay Zidle from DALI Speakers. From his early days cutting speaker wire in Montreal to helping grow one of Denmark's biggest audio exports, Jay shares his journey into high-end hi-fi. Learn how DALI (Danish Audiophile Loudspeaker Industries) became a global powerhouse with its groundbreaking SMC magnet system and wood fiber cone drivers that offer ultra-low distortion and wide dispersion—technology that even trickles down to their most affordable speakers. We also dive into DALI's newest RubiKore and EpiKore lines, the flagship Kore, and how their gear performs even in the most challenging listening conditions. Plus, we talk music: Bob Dylan, The Police, Eminem, Bruce Springsteen, and even Bossa Nova Guns N' Roses. If you're into two-channel, CI, or just want to hear what the OG JZ listens to at 2am after a UFC fight—this episode is a must.
