    Hi, I've got the 230s, paid £145 of Gumtree, mint condition boxed. They are a Fantastic speakers. I live in a back to back and listen at lower volumes, and they still sound full and enjoy everything I play on them comedy or music, I love them. I will be keeping these for a long time. I'm sure the other speakers are great though 👍

    Both are really good speakers but it depends from your taste.
    I prefer the Dali cause the sound is more open and the details are more clear. Mid and high are brighter too incl a good deep bass.

      @@UTILITARIANTVUK I had both and the Q accoustics need a big room and space around them to work but the Dalis will work better in small/ mediums rooms as long as you lift that speaker up a couple of inches by placing them spiked onto granite slabs.
      The 3050s are handicapped by a dull treble, a trait of all Q accoustics speakers and need to be played at high volume to come alive.

    I’ve listened to both in person. I much preferred Wharfedale 230. They balance better with a neutral sounding audiolab amp that can fill the midrange better than a Yamaha or marantz.

    I had a Zensor 1 and compared it with a wharfedale 10.1.
    I don't understand many positive reviews on dali as if it is a sound miracle. The sound is fairly balanced but certainly not detailed and the bass corresponds to the size of the speaker, so I don't understand the review.
    Wharfedale has a bigger sound stage, it sounds darker but it is still more detailed, stronger bass. . WHARFEDALE also has a quality crossover, which unfortunately cannot be said for Zensor/Oberon. the crossover is the heart of the sound. I cannot recommend Dalí.
    The Dali Oberon has almost the same sound as the Dali Zensor

    Dali £500 dearer than the 230s.dalis more refined and better organization,but you'd expect that for £750 vs £250.if you're on a budget then the wharfrdales are excellent value,if not then the Dali's will not disappoint.shop around because discounts are available.

    • @UTILITARIANTVUK
      @UTILITARIANTVUK  2 года назад +1

      On their initial release, the Dali's were £699 and 230's were £500. So only a £200 difference. Although, as you said, the 230s are good but the Dali's are far superior and even at 200 extra, still worth buying over the 230's. Also, if you take into account inflation, the Wharfedales would be around £600 at today's prices.
