    I never heard of Dalis in America. I now live in Israel. The salesman recommended them. I love them. They remind me of my old skool speakers my grandpa made some time mid century.

    I was a salesman for DALI speakers in the mid to late 80's. Back then they were partnered with NAD. I still own an original ( never been changed in any way) working pair today. BTW, I use OHNO speaker cables in my system because my integrated amp is wired with OHNO.

    @robertstolz2632 2 года назад +4

    Ok, I got a pair and my room acoustics might need some treatment. I am getting a lot of bass, so I pulled them 3 feet from front wall and now it's much better. I might try some acoustic foam on wall behind them but they sound great. Dali recommends 100 hrs of break in will see if they get even better. Running them on a Rotel rb990 bx amp with a parasound php 850 preamp. I do have a sub as well but don't have to set it to loud for the Oberons.

    • @mykandrew
      @mykandrew  2 года назад +1

      You gotta remember Oberon's have a 7 inch driver. It's going to be bassier than smaller bookshelf speakers

    • @robertstolz2632
      @robertstolz2632 2 года назад

      Yeah I realize that but the bass is to thick or muddy sounding, I had some paradigm 5se mkii with 8 inch woofers prior to this set up and they weren't as thick sounding, I'll try some different positioning. I have a rectangular room with front and back wall 3 times as long as side walls. I'll try setting them going the other way and see what that does.
      Thanks for the response.

    • @NeverTalkToCops1
      @NeverTalkToCops1 2 года назад

      Break in is NONSENSE. 100 hours is NONSENSE, where does that come from, demand an answer. If a speaker requires "break in" you are being bamboozled.

    • @robertstolz2632
      @robertstolz2632 2 года назад

      Ok I got them 2 feet from the front wall, and now they are perfect, love it. That's 2 feet from wall to front of drivers.

      @PhilipBallGarry 4 месяца назад

      I've had mine for four months now and they get better every session. At first, the difference from out of the box was minimal over the first 30 or so hours, then they improved exponentially after that. I prefer grills on and a slight treble boost Vs grilles off with a slight treble cut - especially in my tiny listening room

    Do these handle Movie dialogues well or Oberon Vokal is a must buy?
    Thinking if getting Oberon Vokal for 450 USD is worth it.

      @misteral1083 2 года назад +1

      In case you're still considering - I bought the 7s, along with a Vokal to replace my aging Yamaha 5.1 system. I wanted something that would be great for home theater but could also deliver music to a high enough standard. I have spent a lot of money on IEMs, headphones and a great digital audio player, so my mobile listening is audiophile/reference level. I have heard AMAZING speakers, but I cannot afford them.
      It's been two years with the Dalis. I am STILL marvelling at the quality of sound. I absolutely love them and feel no need to upgrade. I absolutely love them. They still make me stop and really listen. Amazing for 5.1, stunning for stereo. Imaging is something else! One of the best investments I have made, these will probably be with me for life (they were my present to myself on my 50th!)

      I had the Oberon 1’s and within 24 hours decided to take them back and get the Oberon 3’s.
      Oberon 1’s sounded great in the demo room at the retailers however were a little bit lost in my medium sized room. The Oberon 3’s are larger so if size is an issue maybe go for the Oberon 1’s. If size isn’t a problem I would definitely recommend the extra expense for the Oberon 3’s
