DALI Oberon On-Wall Speakers (Pair) (Dark Walnut)

Están muy bien hechos y ocupan poco espacio, este es el motivo de su compra, la falta de espacio. Suenan bien, con algo de resonancia. No se desenvuelven bien con música dura, pero si con acusticos, blues... música más tranquila. Los comparé con unos sony sencillos de tres vias, de los años 90 y los Dali suenan más definidos, pero con algo menos de graves. La mejora no es muy notoria en sonido, si en acabados. En resumen, si tienes poco espacio, quieres unos altavoces bonitos, que no cuesten mucho y no eres muy exigente acusticamente, estos Dali están bien para su precio.

Firstly, With regards to hanging them on a solid wall, I found that although there are two keyhole slots placed vertically on the rear of the speakers, using just the top slot was all that was needed. Two Brown plugs and two 1 3/4 inch Pan head screws did the trick (there are no screws or plugs included). After slight adjustment, the screws only protrude less than 1/4 inch so comfortably support the weight. It also allows you to use a level once hung to get them perfectly level rather than rely on the perfect placement of two screws positioned vertically. I was disappointed with the sound at first. They sounded rather flat with very little soundstage. After about ten hours use, I noticed the sound really improved and they now sound fantastic, so giving them time to break in before judging pays dividends.I Really recommend these if you have a small room that doesn't have space for speaker stands or floorstanders, although they are a bit pricey.

Bisher hatte ich ein Set von Canton im Einsatz: Ergo 91 dc als Frontlautsprecher, AV 950 als Center und Karat 920 dc als Rears. Dazu einen Subwoofer der Firma Nubert ( Nubox AW 443) Ich war mit den Lautsprechern eigentlich immer sehr zufrieden. Nur der Surroundbereich war wegen der nicht optimalen Aufstellung der Rears (Sitzplatz direkt an der Wand) ein bisschen problematisch. Ich bin dann auf die On wall Lautsprecher der Marke Dali gestoßen und hatte ursprünglich vor, diese nur als Surround-Lautsprecher einzusetzen. Da die bisherigen Standlautsprecher optisch und auch akustisch sehr dominant in unserem relativ kleinen Wohnzimmer waren, entschieden wir, die On Walls auch als Fronts einzusetzen und dazu einen Oberon Vokal als Center zu bestellen Nach der Installtion mit dem AVR (Denon 1500) eingemessen, und probegehört. Wir stellten sofort fest, dass das Set in Punkto Sprachverständlichkeit, Auflösung und auch Pegel absolut gute Arbeit leistet. Die Basswiedergabe ist gemessen am relativ geringen Volumen der Boxen und der kleinen Chassis schon sehr gut und vor allen Dingen schön knackig. Hätte ich so nicht erwartet. Die in Testberichten häufig gemachte Aussage "klingen größer, als sie sind" kann ich aus eigener Erfahrung nur unterschreiben. Ich bin sehr froh, dass wir uns für dieses Boxenset entschieden haben. Für mich eine tolle Lösung in Räumen mit nicht ganz soviel Platz und Einschränkungen bei der Platzierung der Lautsprecher. Von mir eine absolute Empfehlung

I recently acquired a pair of Dali Oberon On-Wall speakers for my home office, so that I could have relatively high-quality music reproduction playing in the background while I work. I chose the Dali Oberons for several reasons: * They are narrow enough to fit in the space I had available on the wall on either side of a storage closet in my office, opposite my seating position; * They are aesthetically attractive and come in several finishes, one of which nicely matches my existing office furniture; * The drivers are high-quality and the speakers have an innovative downward-firing port to extend bass response; and * Dali generally has a good reputation for build quality and sound reproduction. Because I bought these from Amazon, and had never heard them, I was taking sort of a “flyer” on the sound quality — I relied mostly on reviews from other purchasers and Dali’s general reputation. More on the sound a little later. When I ordered the speakers, Amazon gave me the free option of using disguised outer boxing, because the box the speakers ship in from Dali identifies the contents. Having had past experience with electronic purchases “disappearing” en route (shipped via both Amazon and UPS), I took Amazon up on the option (in fairness to Amazon, on those occasions refunds or re-shipping occurred swiftly and without hassle — but the experience is still annoying). The speakers arrived double-boxed in good order, without incident. The interior box, from Dali, was sturdy and the speakers were carefully packaged to avoid damage. They arrived intact, and absolutely gorgeous. The finish is excellent, and the speakers weigh a little over ten pounds apiece — heavy enough to be well-damped and to suggest substantial internal components and structural integrity, but light enough for easy wall mounting. The drivers themselves appear to be very well-designed and well built, and the speaker grills are removable and very attractive in their own right. On the back, there are two sturdy mounting brackets symmetrically placed so the speakers may readily be hung vertically with either the tweeter or woofer on top, or horizontally. There are also integrated spacers on the back so the speakers stand out a little from the wall, making a space for wiring and the unique downward firing ports behind each speaker. And here’s my only gripe — the speakers do not come with any mounting template, hardware, or mounting instructions. You are on your own to figure out mounting. And the binding posts for speaker wire (which are high quality and will accept bare wire, spades or banana plugs) are placed at an odd angle that does not work well with banana plugs, unless you cut a pretty big rectangular hole in the wall behind the speaker — otherwise the speakers will not sit flush on the wall on the integrated spacers if you use regular-size banana plugs. I solved the problem using three inch spade-to-banana plug adapter wires (also available from Amazon), which allowed me to connect spades to the binding posts and then plug in banana plugs that hung down inside the wall, and did not interfere with the speaker sitting flush on the wall on the integrated spacers. All this means that mounting requires careful planning, very careful measurement, the proper tools and drill bits, and mounting hardware that can readily and safely support ten pounds. Not impossible, by any means, but not something to be done casually in a few minutes. The sound makes it worth the trouble. I have these paired with an ELAC Alchemy preamp and amplifier that are stashed in the afore-mentioned closet. Stereo imaging is excellent, and the highs and mid-range are crystal-clear and beautifully balanced. The bass is, as it would be for most bookshelf-size speakers, a little thin and not subwoofer-deep, but it improves over the first few hours of playing as the woofers flex a little. I play mostly jazz and light classical, for which the speakers are ideally suited. Certainly, a subwoofer might make sense for anyone wanting more solid, or deeper, bass. I highly recommend these speakers for those seeking on-wall placement — I have deducted one star for the lack of mounting hardware, template and instructions.

already having dali oberon 5s , oberon vokal and altecco c1s , i decided to add the dali oberon on walls to complete my system , knowing the already stellar build quality of dali speakers and the great sound this was an easy decision . i can confirm that these speakers once calibrated by the audyssey set up on a denon av receiver blended perfectly . the speakers were calibrated to a cut off point of 60hz which is extremely good for on wall speakers and i can confirm that whilst these speakers can not reproduce deep bass they are more than capable of reproducing a decent level of bass on their own , used in a 7.1system as rears they are superb at their job , the wood finish looks good and the speakers blend well on wall . whilst not cheap i found these speakers to be excellent value .
