Dellichord FR6


FR6 (2) coming soon

Huge bass & difficult spaces – Welcome to innovative acoustic engineering. The Dellichord FR6 Stand Mount Speakers are crafted for a great performance and huge bass even in acoustically challenging spaces. Engineered specifically so that no seperate subwoofer is needed. You will wonder “how does so much bass come from such a small box?

Dual mid-bass drivers in isobaric formation – The secret is the dual, mid-bass drivers in isobaric formation and an oval passive radiator working together in a compact real wood enclosure.

Dellichord FR6 – Great living spaces can be difficult listening spaces

The main goal was to achieve a full-range, accurate, and detailed sound that could perform well even in difficult acoustic environments. This is especially true for our modern, open plan, tiled and glass living spaces, overly bright or damped rooms. The speakers needed to sound smooth and easy to listen to in our own homes. In this way, the FR6 speakers fit seamlessly into any space, blending classic sophistication with a fatigue free, live music experience.

Although aesthetics and tactile quality are important in loudspeakers, sound quality must always be the number one priority. In that regard, the FR6 uses high-quality drive units, crossover components, and ETI binding posts. The real engineering innovation is in the cabinet design, which allows the FR6 to achieve an exceptionally wide frequency response from a modest, bookshelf-sized enclosure.

The FR6 is a deceptively complex little speaker. It employs TWO mid bass drive units – one hidden inside the enclosure in an “isobaric” compound arrangement, and the other visible on the front baffle. On the back is an oval passive radiator that looks like another drive unit but actually provides turbulence-free, extra-deep bass instead of using a reflex port.

The isobaric arrangement allows for a smaller cabinet while still providing substantial low bass extension.The passive radiator avoids the “chuffing” or port noise of a port, again without requiring a larger enclosure.

These two main factors allowing the FR6 to reach deep into the bass range like a large subwoofer, yet it can easily fit on a TV cabinet or bookshelf.

Tweeter – has a wide surround 29mm soft dome offering a very sweet sound with every delicate detail of the music reproduced clearly. The dispersion pattern at higher frequencies is also less likely to excite reflections in modern rooms. It has its own small rear chamber which imbues it with a very low resonant frequency. The FR6 employs a relatively low cross over frequency of 1700Hz. Accurate third order filter slopes on both the bass units and tweeter allow the tweeter to perform flawlessly in a distortion free manner.

Stereo Imaging – The cross over is constructed (designed and assembled in-house) on a fibreglass circuit board. The goal is consistency to ensure stereo imaging is always as good as it can possibly be through perfect matching of one loudspeaker to the next. The components employed are of premium quality including metal film resistors, polypropylene capacitors and both air cored and P cored inductors.

Speaker stands – The size of the Dellichord FR6 speakers allows use on TV cabinets or shelves, however they will produce the most stable stereo image when properly positioned on quality speaker stands. Using stands also enhances the already impressively fast and agile base of the FR6. This is thanks to its 2-driver, 1-passive design.

Value for Money

88/100

Dellichord’s FR6 delivers deep bass, a natural midrange, and unusually expansive soundstage depth for a compact standmount. Edgar Kramer praised its musical ease and full-bodied scale, while Marc Rushton highlighted its big-sounding poise and refinement, making this a seriously capable, carefully built speaker with real audiophile appeal.

What Reviewers Are Saying

"small speaker, big sound."

SoundStage Solo — Edgar Kramer

Pros

Delivers unusually deep, controlled bass for a standmount, with scale that can resemble a small floorstander.

Produces a natural, musical midrange with excellent timbral reproduction and no obvious brightness.

Soundstage depth, width, and height are strongly praised, with convincing separation and ambient decay.

Cabinet fit, finish, and overall build quality are described as impeccable.

&

Cons

Needs a quality, high-current amplifier to fully reveal its bass, dynamics, and detail.

Low sensitivity and 4-ohm impedance suggest it is not an easy load for modest amplification.

The recessed binding-post panel may make cable termination a little awkward with stiff connectors.

SOUND QUALITY PERFORMANCE 93/100

Reviewers describe the FR6 as musical, natural, and full-bodied, with a presentation that favors ease over etched detail. It is repeatedly praised for combining refinement with substantial scale, and one review specifically notes that it sounds bigger than a small standmount ought to.

Bass

95/100

The bass is a major calling card. Reviewer commentary calls it deceptively deep, superbly controlled, and strong enough to feel like a small or even mid-sized floorstander, with no sense of sloppy mid-bass bloat.

Mid

93/100

The midrange is described as superb for the price, with excellent timbral reproduction and a natural, well-balanced character. Voices and instruments are portrayed as coherent and pleasing rather than overly analytical.

Treble

90/100

Treble is presented as part of an overall balanced and natural signature rather than something flashy or edgy. The available review comments suggest good detail and refinement, with no complaints about brightness or harshness.

Soundstage Imaging

95/100

Soundfield reproduction is singled out as among the best the reviewer has heard from a standmount, with especially strong depth. Width and height are also said to be impressive, along with good separation and convincing ambient decay.

Dynamics

91/100

The FR6 is described as scaling well and delivering strong dynamic ability, though the reviewer also notes it wants a capable, high-current amplifier to fully wake up. That suggests real punch and headroom for the size, with some system dependence.

Assessments of Build Quality, Usability, and Overall Propositions.

Build Quality

95/100

The cabinet work and finish are praised as impeccable, and the crossover is described as thoughtfully designed with high-quality parts. Reviewers also note the solid fit and finish, which supports the sense of a carefully made speaker.

Value for Money

88/100

The review language is favorable about the FR6 being impressive at its price point, with the midrange and overall execution described as excellent for what it costs. No review calls it cheap, but the tone is that it offers enough quality and scale to justify itself against competing standmounts.
