Superb floorstanders, right up there with the best

The Dali Oberon 5 is a compact two-way tower speaker that offers a brilliant alternative to the Q Acoustics 3050i speakers. With careful engineering and design refinements, the Oberon 5 delivers a responsive, musical, and fun performance that is well-suited for most rooms and partnering electronics.

+ pros

The Dali Oberon 5 offers a brilliant alternative to the Q Acoustics 3050i, with careful engineering and steady refinements of design ideas that result in a talented and fun performer.
The compact size and four finish options make the Oberon 5 a versatile and visually pleasing addition to most rooms.
The speakers have a bold but balanced treble output that blends seamlessly with the expressive midrange performance, making them great for voices and dynamic music.
The Oberon 5 manages to sound notably larger than its size, delivering plenty of low-frequency punch and authority.

- cons

The slight price premium and substantial size deficit compared to the Q Acoustics 3050i may be a consideration for some buyers with larger rooms.
The speakers prefer to be positioned a little away from the back wall and firing straight ahead, which may require some adjustment for optimal performance.

The DALI Oberon 7 loudspeakers are the top-of-the-line offering from Danish loudspeaker manufacturer DALI, with a two-way, bass reflex design and three drivers for higher quality component parts. They offer a huge, deep, and open sound stage with excellent stereo imaging and a natural, uncolored sound quality, making them a stand-out performer and a fantastic buy for audiophiles.

+ pros

Excellent stereo imaging and depth response.
Natural tonal timbres and fast transient response.
Low levels of coloration and distortion.
Firm and natural bass response down to approximately 40 Hz.
Not overly sensitive to room placement.

Occasional lower mid-treble 'scratchiness' with certain recordings.
