Dali Oberon 3 speakers are truly a great combination of two worlds. Not only is it compact enough to put on a bookshelf or speakerstand, but it also offers the powerful sound of a floorstanding speaker. In that regard, the performance will briefly approach that of the floorstanding Dali Oberon 5. And when listening to music, you don't always want to be able to sit exactly in the middle of the speakers. Fortunately, the Dali Oberon 3 is designed to have a wide dispersion, so I can enjoy the great sound anywhere in the room.The materials used for the speaker units and the geometry of the Dali Oberon 3 provide excellent coherent sound, with deep bass and detailed treble without harmonic distortion. These problems are greatly reduced because the loudspeaker does not have to be aimed straight at the listening position. That way, you can set up the Dali speakers in a tidy fashion, and thanks to their handsome finish in four different colors, they fit into any room.The Dali Oberon 3 bookshelf speaker is a very sturdy speaker cabinet with multiple solid reinforcements on the inside to increase rigidity and prevent resonances. The cabinet is made of dense pressed MDF board material that is CNC milled and covered with carefully selected high-quality vinyl finish. To improve timing, damping materials have been applied to the inside of the top, bottom and sides. The bass reflex port has been placed on the rear to improve integration into the room. The new rounded speaker front gives the Oberon 3 a contemporary look just like its smaller companion the Dali Oberon 1. Dali speakers are very easy to drive. Simply add a stereo amplifier with possibly a streamer such as the Bluesound Node or use a network receiver such as the Bluesound Powernode and you can immediately enjoy music in the highest sound quality.
