DALI Oberon ON-Wall in-ceiling loudspeaker pair dark walnut

already having dali oberon 5s , oberon vokal and altecco c1s , i decided to add the dali oberon on walls to complete my system , knowing the already stellar build quality of dali speakers and the great sound this was an easy decision . i can confirm that these speakers once calibrated by the audyssey set up on a denon av receiver blended perfectly . the speakers were calibrated to a cut off point of 60hz which is extremely good for on wall speakers and i can confirm that whilst these speakers can not reproduce deep bass they are more than capable of reproducing a decent level of bass on their own , used in a 7.1system as rears they are superb at their job , the wood finish looks good and the speakers blend well on wall . whilst not cheap i found these speakers to be excellent value .

These look and sound amazing. The build quality is second to none. If you're buying these, you've already done your research. Absolutely stunning wall mounted either side of TV.

Firstly, With regards to hanging them on a solid wall, I found that although there are two keyhole slots placed vertically on the rear of the speakers, using just the top slot was all that was needed. Two Brown plugs and two 1 3/4 inch Pan head screws did the trick (there are no screws or plugs included). After slight adjustment, the screws only protrude less than 1/4 inch so comfortably support the weight. It also allows you to use a level once hung to get them perfectly level rather than rely on the perfect placement of two screws positioned vertically. I was disappointed with the sound at first. They sounded rather flat with very little soundstage. After about ten hours use, I noticed the sound really improved and they now sound fantastic, so giving them time to break in before judging pays dividends.I Really recommend these if you have a small room that doesn't have space for speaker stands or floorstanders, although they are a bit pricey.

Speakers sound good. I've mounted mine above head height in landscape format on the side of an overhead beam. Oak finish is MFC and is slightly washed out so paler than real oiled oak.

Absolutely love these Dali on wall Oberon's, used as rear surround sound speakers which seems a bit of a waste tbh, but they are superb in that role once set up via the Avr. They replaced some Dali Zensor stand mounted speakers that I couldn't quite place right plus the cat thought it great fun to keep trying to nudge them off their stands. Bloomin cats cost me a fortune ;) I have tried them as main stereo speakers as well and considering they are not quite run in yet were very good albait lacking some bass but still very good for wall mounted speakers. I tried out another brand of on wall before buying these and sent them back after two weeks as although they were ok they were just ok and lacked the punch these have but then again these are £200 more but imo are well worth it. I would say try them, you should not be disappointed.

Absolutely fantastic product. Pictures just don't do this justice. Well made, well designed and superb sound quality. Top marks.

It’s hard to describe just how good these sound, and just how good they look when hung on the wall (as they are intended to be used). I’ve always been a massive fan of proper quality hi-fi, and don’t believe that any type of smart speaker or all-in-one solution can ever truly match the sound quality of proper hi-fi equipment. While cheaper options are available, you do get what you pay for. These are exceptionally refined in terms of their sound quality, with a phenomenal clarity of vocals. I’m not quite sure how they work internally, but they are specifically designed to make the bass sound like far deeper and bigger speakers, and this has been really well achieved. I have more traditional deeper speakers in my lounge (also DALI) and, while the bass of the kitchen speakers doesn’t quite match the richness and deepness of the larger speakers I have in the lounge, it’s not in any way disappointing. I do feel as if my kitchen now has proper hi-fi. They also look truly classy. It’s hard to capture this in a photo. While I love the convenience of streaming music through an Echo device for everyday use, these speakers will blow away any competition when you have the time to listen to music properly (for cooking, meal times, and especially parties). I do have a streaming device linked to my main amp, with wiring then going through the inside of the kitchen wall and into these speakers. This was really easy to do myself, given that I have new build dry walls. Just be careful to use speaker wire rated for in-wall use though. The result is a lovely clean finish. Just one word of warning. You do have to “break" these in. I’ve always been exceptionally sceptical of the claim that speaker companies make about having to break speakers in, and I was convinced it was some sort of marketing/psychological ploy. However I could actually hear such a difference in this case. When I first started using these, I was really quite upset. The base was all over the place, the wall was vibrating, and everything sounded a bit muffled. However within a few hours of use everything seemed to tighten/loosen up nicely and, after a few days, they literally sounded like a completely different pair of speakers. I’ve never experienced such a marked change in sound with any other hi-fi speakers I’ve had (and I’ve had a few!). I'll use any excuse to listen to music through these. I really can’t recommend these enough. Please let me know if you’ve found this review to be in any way helpful. Thank you!

Están muy bien hechos y ocupan poco espacio, este es el motivo de su compra, la falta de espacio. Suenan bien, con algo de resonancia. No se desenvuelven bien con música dura, pero si con acusticos, blues... música más tranquila. Los comparé con unos sony sencillos de tres vias, de los años 90 y los Dali suenan más definidos, pero con algo menos de graves. La mejora no es muy notoria en sonido, si en acabados. En resumen, si tienes poco espacio, quieres unos altavoces bonitos, que no cuesten mucho y no eres muy exigente acusticamente, estos Dali están bien para su precio.

Coppia di casse/diffusori acustici passivi formato slim per muro o appoggio. Marca Dali, articolo Oberon On-Wall WHT, variante color bianco, prodotte in Danimarca. Pro: + Ottimi i materiali come anche le finiture; + Esteticamente molto gradevoli + Molto compatte negli ingombri; + Test di ascolto in progresso..; + 4 gommini adesivo per appoggio su superfice in dotazione. Contro: - Ferramenta per montaggio a muro non fornita, manca anche una dima per i fori; - Packaging migliorabile; - Info e istruzioni in tante lingue ma non in italiano (abbastanza generiche e riguardano tutti i diffusori di questa Serie Oberon); - Costo delle mascherine in tinta diversa esagerato. Nota bene: Se si montano a parete/muro NON è possibile utilizzare cavi di alta qualità di grosso spessore ne le forcelle ne le banane. Solo semplici cavi spellati massimo da 2,5mm (purtroppo). Dati gli spazi molto ridotti della mia stanza da studio/lavoro e musica ho voluto provare questi particolari diffusori passivi della danese Dali, così da liberare spazio sul mobile ove tengo piatto/ampli ecc. Mi sono buttato, data la davvero scarsa quantità di materiale e recensioni di vero ascolto presenti Online. Le sto usando con: Piatto: Pro-Ject RPM 1.3; Pre: Pro-Ject Phono Box S2 Ultra; Ampli: Topping MX5 DAC Classe D; Player WAV/FLAC: HiBy R3 PRO SABER. Al momento sto facendo i primi test di ascolto, sia con la musica da vinile che liquida.. adesso ho ordinato dei cavi di alta qualità per vedere cosa cambia nella percezione delle vaie bande di frequenze. Aggiornerò quanto prima questa mia preliminare recensione. I diffusori sono esteticamente molto belli, il design è molto semplice e minimalista ma a me piace. Peccato che non si possano scegliere con le mascherine del colore desiderato, quelle in dotazione non sono male, ma avrei preferito quelle bianche per un effetto "total white". Sono da acquistare a parte ma sono estremamente costose, comunque sono fatte bene ed ho apprezzato i piedini in metallo (non il plastica) e l'inserimento morbido e preciso. La cassa sembra costituita da 2 materiali diversi o forse è solo la verniciatura che è diversa, non sono in grado di capirlo. Il frontale ha un effetto "staccato" rispetto alla cassa, presenta una evidente linea di "spazio vuoto" che rende il design meno banale.. questo presenta gli angoli smussati ed è laccato con un bianco semi opaco. La cassa invece è la "consueta" struttura il legno che ricorda lo MDF, verniciata di un bianco opaco appena satinato, gli angoli sono tutti "vivi" a 90°. La costruzione è bella solida e ogni diffusore pesa circa 4,9Kg e può essere installato a muro/superficie verticale o anche appoggiato su un mobile, libreria ecc. In questo ultimo caso, a primo acchito, non mi sembra che la stabilità sia il massimo.. io eviterei questa configurazione. La scatola originale è arrivata danneggiata con un bel buco.. ed è stato consegnato dentro una seconda scatola (Amazon), questo in perfette condizioni. Fortunatamente niente è stato danneggiato, mi ha sorpreso che le protezioni interne in polistirolo sono solo in alto e in basso.

Great sounding speakers in a living room friendly size. I needed a speaker that could hang on the wall and blend into the room. With my old Arcam amplifier and a Wiim streamer these speakers are perfect. Much deeper bass than I expected so I don’t think I’ll need to supplement them with a sub.

Med en subwoofer som komplement har jag nu väldigt bra ljud i vardagsrummet. Drivs av en Sonos Amp.

Bisher hatte ich ein Set von Canton im Einsatz: Ergo 91 dc als Frontlautsprecher, AV 950 als Center und Karat 920 dc als Rears. Dazu einen Subwoofer der Firma Nubert ( Nubox AW 443) Ich war mit den Lautsprechern eigentlich immer sehr zufrieden. Nur der Surroundbereich war wegen der nicht optimalen Aufstellung der Rears (Sitzplatz direkt an der Wand) ein bisschen problematisch. Ich bin dann auf die On wall Lautsprecher der Marke Dali gestoßen und hatte ursprünglich vor, diese nur als Surround-Lautsprecher einzusetzen. Da die bisherigen Standlautsprecher optisch und auch akustisch sehr dominant in unserem relativ kleinen Wohnzimmer waren, entschieden wir, die On Walls auch als Fronts einzusetzen und dazu einen Oberon Vokal als Center zu bestellen Nach der Installtion mit dem AVR (Denon 1500) eingemessen, und probegehört. Wir stellten sofort fest, dass das Set in Punkto Sprachverständlichkeit, Auflösung und auch Pegel absolut gute Arbeit leistet. Die Basswiedergabe ist gemessen am relativ geringen Volumen der Boxen und der kleinen Chassis schon sehr gut und vor allen Dingen schön knackig. Hätte ich so nicht erwartet. Die in Testberichten häufig gemachte Aussage "klingen größer, als sie sind" kann ich aus eigener Erfahrung nur unterschreiben. Ich bin sehr froh, dass wir uns für dieses Boxenset entschieden haben. Für mich eine tolle Lösung in Räumen mit nicht ganz soviel Platz und Einschränkungen bei der Platzierung der Lautsprecher. Von mir eine absolute Empfehlung
