How would the Dali’s do with Vincent integrated amps such as the sv-500

Will the Oberon 5 pair well with the Marantz Model 30? I have the Cinema 50 with the Oberon 5 5.1 system and it sounds great for movies but music, not so much. I am thinking of adding a stereo amp.

Well, allow me to disagree with this statement.

I have these speakers for over three years in a room of only 14 square meters, driven by a Marantz PM5005, one with only 40W/channel.

And they sound flawless, I don’t need to turn up the volume even a quarter to make it sound loud enough to make me wonder if the neighbors aren’t already disturbed.

On the contrary, they are speakers very easy to drive, by most amplifiers, and also,they are speakers recommended for small and medium rooms, as the technicians from Dali told me, in the discussions with them, when I were in visit at Norager.

I’m seriously thinking of buying the Dali Oberon 5, and was thinking of pairing it with the Rotel A12MKII? Is this a good match? or are there better solutions? I like controlled and dynamic low end. Thank you

Hi Ian

That’s prefect, they are both on my shopping list.

Thanks again

Neil

Mike,

DALI/NAD were so happy with the article that I have 2 new DALi speakers coming and 2 NAD amplifiers. The DALI definitely needs some power and top end smoothness from the amplifier. The treble is so expressive and detailed that it can be bit much with the wrong amplifier.

Best,

Ian

Neil,

Rega and Cambridge Audio. The Cambridge CXA81 or the Rega ELEX MKiV.

Ken,

I like it. Is the tonal balance on the cooler side?

Best,

Ian White
