DALI Oberon 3 Bookshelf Speaker Pair Ash Black

Product Information

On the surface these may look like a posh pair of Spektor 2s, and there are certainly some strong visual similarities. But start listening to the Oberon 1s at the end of a suitably talented system and you’ll find they’re capable of sonic feats the junior speakers only hint at. But aside from the limitations of size, they produce a quality of sound only the very best at this level can get close to. The OBERON 3 is easy to integrate into any room. Both the driver materials and geometry applied in the OBERON 3 have been selected to achieve a wide dispersion pattern in the listening area. The same principles have been applied in the design of the crossover. Wood fibre cones — The stiff, lightweight structure of the reinforced wood fibre cone reproduces details that are uncoloured and highly accurate. All in all the Oberon 3 is a true showcase of Dali ideas, traditions and inventions - all wrapped in an elegant and modern design. Oberon 3 is easy to integrate into any room. Both the driver materials and geometry applied in the Oberon 3 have been selected to achieve a wide dispersion pattern in the listening area. The same principles have been applied in the design of the crossover. Oberon Series Large enough to produce a powerful sound but compact enough not to overwhelm the room, the DALI Oberon 3 strikes the perfect balance.

compared to a lower max handling speaker. Loudness or the sound level is also impacted by parameters OBERON 3 ofrece lo mejor de ambos mundos. El tamaño del chasis permite un balance óptimo entre el volumen interno para el rendimiento de bajos, y una aparencia compacta para salas pequeñas, configuraciones de audio discretas o montaje en pared. Combina el gran sonido de un altavoz de suelo con el diseño compacto de un soporte de montaje. OBERON 3 se ajusta perfectamente a cualquier soporte o o estantería. It was clear that the DALI Oberon 3 allowed the different voices of the Clones Audio and NAD to shine through while retaining a convincing full-bodied and colorful sound. The Clones 25iRX integrated amplifier is rated at 30 Watts per channel (into 8 Ohms) while the NAD outputs 50 Watts into 4 or 8 Ohms and both had no problem driving the Oberon 3 as loud as I cared to listen. In terms of preference, I found the Clones Audio 25iRX integrated amplifier a bit more exciting with greater clarity and resolution but we are getting into horses for courses territory while ignoring the significant price differential between these two fine integrated amplifiers.AB31, AB32, AB33, AB34, AB35, AB36, AB37, AB38, AB41, AB42, AB43, AB44, AB45, AB46, AB47, AB48, AB49, AB50, AB51, AB52, AB53, AB54, AB55, AB56 We chose a 7" driver, as its membrane has a 15% larger dimension than the common 6½ market standard. The larger cone area allows a lower voice coil excursion at the same sound pressure level compared to a 6½ woofer. It also allows a higher maximum sound pressure level, which leads to an effortless reproduction of the dynamics in the music. And cables, I've read all this about cables doing nothing which may be true for loudspeakers but I'm not sure.

The rounded edges and rustic fabric of these new DALI front grilles add a lighter and more contemporary visual look to the OBERON series. This look is enhanced by the elegantly shaped aluminium base mounted on the two floor-standing models. The magnet motor itself consists of a large ferrite magnet that sorrounds a pole piece made with a unique combination of iron and SMC. The iron ferrrite forms the lower base of the pole cylinder, topped of with 10 mm SMC disk to crown the pole piece. This combination minimises the negative effects of the iron, while placing the SMC disk right in the main working area of the 4-layer voice coil. This placement ensures the maximum effect from the SMC on the voice coils environment, resulting in a greatly improved constant flux field. TWEETER One of the nice things about passive loudspeakers is the ability to tailor their sound to your liking with the gear you choose to associate them with. Of course, this means more boxes than a pair of active or powered loudspeakers, but sometimes more is, well, more. Next up on the partner parade was the more affordable NAD C 338, using the Primare NP5 network player as Roon Ready streamer. The overall sound signature shifted with the NAD toward a fuller, less resolution-rich presentation. Acoustic guitar gained body and weight down low, albeit with less clarity as compared to the Clones 25iRX. Kid Koala’s Music To Draw To: Satellite from 2017 features Emilíana Torrini on (stunning) vocals over wavy amorphous and ambient synths, guitars, and other machines and the NAD / DALI combination put more weight on tone and body as opposed to the resolution and texture that’s more than apparent with the Clones Audio in charge of the driving.

The membrane terminates in a rubber surround that is chosen for its soft and very flexible properties. This gives the membrane free movement with a very low dampening effect, and leaves the magnet motor to control the membrane movement. SMC

So, I guess that as expected I am stepping up from what I originally wanted to get, let's see where this takes meThe second is that you don't have an existing reference point to compare speaker sounds against other than the sound from your TV. Ideally when auditioning speakers I would take my existing speakers to compare against. Audio memory is very short and can't be relied on.
