These speakers are nice in appearance. They are the front speakers of my 6.1 system in my garage (no center channel speaker [by choice]. I now have about 150 hours on this system with two DALI Oberon 3 speakers as my front mains. Two Definite Technology D9’s as my rear speakers. Two Klipsch Dolby Atmos side speakers. And a Klipsch R-80SWI subwoofer. I stream music by WIFI using a Wiim Pro Streamer thru a Topping D50S DAC, with D50 Linear power supply to DAC and Streamer. Then is amplified through Denon S970H integrated AV Receiver. Bottom line - these DALI’s are smooth and warm sounding. But they lack midrange. Tweeters are a pleasure to listen to- no harse highs. The 7” woofers add nice front base ( enhancing my small 8” sub). But, my rear D9’s carry the midrange notes. I used Audyssey room correction. This system sounds excellent for a work shop/ garage surround sound. I may be able increase the front midrange manually. Hope so. These Dali’s sure are silky-smooth and warm sounding. “That’s all I have to say about that.”

I rarely rate products at 5 stars and this is the first time I have ever used or heard of the brand DALI. However, these DALI Oberon 3 bookshelf speakers absolutely stunned me and earned a 5 star rating. The build quality of the cabinet and connectors is excellent and the sound reproduction is nothing short of amazing. The sound stage is very wide. Vocals are crystal clear and mids and bass are excellent. However, the bass is not ground shaking. If you do prefer earth quaking bass I would recommend pairing these with a good powered subwoofer. With that being said, playing artists like Nora Jones, John Legend and even The Black Eyed Peas all sounded amazing. You will begin to hear sounds you didn't even know were in the songs. Also, when the volume is cranked up these speakers can get really loud and show no signs of sound distortion whatsoever. These DALI Oberon 3 bookshelf speakers have earned my highest recommendation. When used by themselves, or as part of a 2.1 system, I am confident they will absolutely wow you and all your friends. Great job DALI, you have just become one of my favorite brands.

I was unsure of how these speakers would sound with my existing system, but they integrated pretty seamlessly. Pros: - Easy setup: I was able to get these plugged in with no issue. Also, I was able to quickly find my "sweet" spot for the placement of the speakers by having them pulled away a bit from the wall. - Big Bass: The bass is solid and powerful without taking from the overall clarity. With so many things to observe while listening, it was good to know that the bass didn't compromise any other sound traits. - Elegant Look: Although sound is king, these speakers do carry a beautiful design that compliments any room. Cons: Dependent on Grill: There wasn't much to dislike, but I did notice that there was a large difference in sound quality when the grills were left off. Design-wise, I found the speakers more appealing bare, but I needed to keep the grill on to achieve the desired output that I wanted. Setup Dependent: Just like any speakers, they will always be dependent on your existent sound lineup, room size, receiver, and etc. I have a simplistic setup, but I hope they fit in when I acquire additional speakers. Overall, audiophiles or casual users should have a great, enhanced listening experience for the value.
