DALI OBERON 5 2-way Slim Floorstanding Speakers with 29mm Tweeter and Dual 5 1/4" Driver (Pair) - Open Box

After weeks of research I bought these to replace my Celestion F2s that were over 25 years old! I've had them around 2 months and I have to say that I am impressed by their performance, they have enough bass without overshadowing the mid and highs and there's plenty of detail. I have them paired with an Audiolab 6000 and they make a good match. I would highly recommend.

Just when you've heard a song a millions times before. Think again. Surprise! Its like hearing them again for the first time. You hear everything. EVERYTHING. The whispers in the background, the instrument adjustments, the vocal scratchiness under the notes. Incredible. They are also a foot smaller than I anticipated, standing 33" off the floor. Also according to the instructions, you can mount them on the wall. A great buy! I did have some shipping issues, but Amazon took charge. Then I bought thru Crutchfield via Amazon as a thirdparty seller. Im playing a CD thru an old Sony CD changer into an Arcam SA10 with a built in DAC. The digital to Analogue is magical.

Amazing sound stage

These speakers sounds amazing. Clear, powerful and crisp sound. Paired with my Cambridge Audio equipment, now Im 100% allset with the quality of sound.If you need a truly great speakers at a reasonable price- you will not be disappointed.

I have now had these speakers long enough to give a full review. They replaced a pair of Castle Conway's, which were nearly 25 years old, and had never given anything but good service being a high end offering at the time of original purchase. I wanted to see if the technology had advanced the reproduction in 25 years.The performance of the Dali's was not remarkable different from the Castle's despite there age which showed their original quality. The Dali's had a slightly clearer top end and the bass extension was lower, but only marginally so. Overall they give an extremely satisfying performance. However there is one aspect in which they stand out notably. This is in their remarkable wide distribution of sound which extend to at least 180 degrees with clarity. In this respect they exceed the Castle speakers completely as they were more directional.As a consequence of the Dali's non directional sound and modest size they are extremely suited to a smaller room or one where the placing of the speakers may not be idea as the sound will fill the whole area wonderfully.
