DALIOberon 1 Bookshelf Speaker Pair Light Oak

I've owned the Dali zensor ones happily for a few years and decided to upgrade to the Oberons.I have a mid-price system based around Rega, Audiolab and Arcam. I decided on Dali speakers, as, from experience, they do seem to suit the Arcam amp.On first sight the two sets of speakers don't look a lot different in terms of size but on closer inspection I did notice the Oberon tweeter was slightly bigger.I've got a couple of boisterous Golden retrievers which means that, rather than floor stands, I mount my speakers on- wall on B-tech BT77 brackets.Having allowed a couple of weeks for the new speakers to "Loosen up" my listening impressions are as follows -The Oberons have the same agile, taut, Bass as the zensors. Saying that, probably not enough for your average Metallica fan but still ample,The treble continues the Dali trademark of being smooth and slightly forgiving of some of the more poorly recorded albums I own.Where I discovered the main difference was in the mid range. The Oberon is a far more transparent speaker than the zensor meaning vocals come across quite differently to the listener.Worth the extra money ?Probably.

Good speakers. But sent back as they didn't work for me in my set up. Lacking a bit on the bottom end. Good mids and treble.
