Verdict
The short version
My review of the Dali Oberon 3 speakers was triggered by the ongoing rave around the product, some of which includes their good looks, impressive acoustic output, and balanced soundstage. These speakers outperformed my expectations with their lively and rich sound, the 7-inch bass driver being a pivotal highlight. Their audio quality maintained my attention even after hours of listening. The strong off-axis performance simplifies their positioning process. However, this complex product isn't without a few blends of criticism; initial experience felt too laid-back and the high pitches seemed to be excessively softened. The Vokal center channel also exhibited similar drawbacks. Nonetheless, the Dali Oberon 3 speakers, with their high-quality sound and valuable price point, have the potential to be the best go-to loudspeaker for every audio fanatic with a budget of less than $2000.

Where to buy
The Dali Oberon 3 isn't sold new any more. The closest current model is the Dali SONIK 3.
Why this one: Same 7 inch woofer bookshelf size and 2 way design as the Oberon 3 in the line that replaced Oberon
