Description
In 2018, the older model of the Dali Oberon 7 floor-standing speaker system comes to replace the Dali Zensor 7 speaker system. The DALI Oberon 7 speaker system is the flagship model in the new Oberon line. With a height of 101 cm, the Dali Oberon 7 speaker system is clearly visible in medium to large rooms. It attracts attention not only with its size, but also with a completely modern appearance, combining elements of the Art Nouveau style with the readiness to provide full-blooded sound sensations in a fairly large living space.
Dali Oberon 7 takes full advantage of technologies taken directly from the DALI High End speaker families. This is the only model among the Oberons equipped with a pair of 7-inch (178 mm) woofers, which, in terms of the total area of the diffusers, significantly exceed typical speakers in this price category and allow you to reproduce genuine musical dynamics without much effort. The surround design and signature wood-fiber cone ensure superior soundstage reproduction and long-lasting listening pleasure. The new 29mm tweeter features a soft fabric dome that's half the weight of most competitors, delivering fine details at high frequencies much more accurately. In general, the new speaker reconsiders many standards that were previously established in this price category.
Like all Oberons, the top model has such important advantages as rounded edges that reduce sound diffraction and associated distortion. Solid aluminum parts complement the design of the front panel, removable protective grilles provide flexibility in use, and a durable aluminum base provides greater stability. The narrow front panel of the Dali Oberon 7 features a polished lacquer finish, while the MDF side panels, covered in furniture-grade laminate in black ash, light oak, dark walnut or matt white finishes, also give the speakers an attractive appearance. Inside, the case is reinforced with bulkheads, the bass reflex port is located on the front panel, and there are premium quality speaker connectors (one pair).
The sound of the Dali Oberon 7 acoustics is fast, clear, with good resolution for its class and excellent intelligibility in the vocal range. The high frequencies are clean, transparent, unobtrusive. The midrange is rich in timbre, the bass is quite deep, smooth and somewhat leisurely. When playing energetic rock music, when quickly plucking the strings of the double bass, you feel a slight slowness, a blurring of the attack. If there is no musical information in this form in the composition, it is difficult to make any serious claims against the sound. Jazz, blues, classical, vocal, slow pop music sound very expressive and emotional. The specificity of the sound signature of this model is constant lightness, even some kind of sophistication, which cannot be completely erased even by turning on heavy metal. At the same time, even on heavy music, exceptional expressiveness and, at times, even soulfulness of the sound are retained in the mid and high frequencies. The Dali Oberon 7 undoubtedly has its own musical tastes, but these speakers cannot be called boring. In other words, Dali Oberon 7 is not just another traditional speaker, but a unique and modern system, created on the basis of all the experience and core values of DALI.
