Dali Oberon 5
Denmark is a small country and the Danes seem to love audio and as a result Denmark is home to many major speaker manufacturers, including Bang & Olufsen, Gryphon, Borresen, Dynaudio and Dali.
What makes the Oberon the best speaker at $1500?
Dali approach loudspeakers with an aggressive engineering mindset. They are music lovers and are doing things in service to the music, but they clearly believe they can use various kinds of engineering science to get closer to the absolute sound.
Danish speaker know-how at work. DALI Oberon speakers are special for their innovative use of a patented SMC (Soft Magnetic Compound) technology in the woofer to minimize distortion, a lightweight wood fibre cone that produces highly detailed and accurate sound
The results speak for themselves in real rooms
They have an ability to deliver wide dispersion for an excellent stereo image even when off-axis. The series also offers stylish, modern designs with contemporary fabric grilles.
Reviews
What Hi-Fi? Awards Winner
"Superb floorstanders, right up there with the best. The Oberons have the dynamic subtlety, rhythmic precision and sheer transparency to make the most of such things and pull the listener into the musical experience.
They’re detailed too, revealing low level instrumental strands with ease, but also managing to arrange that information in a composed and organised way. The leading edges of notes are well defined, but not highlighted unnaturally. The sound simply flows in an organic and convincing manner"
