Wide dispersion The Oberon 3 bookshelf speakers are a beautiful and affordable introduction to DALI’s aesthetic. From the oversized soft-dome tweeter, to the wood-fiber woofer, and even the crossover, DALI’s goals are low coloration and wide dispersion. The first is important because you want to hear your music the way it’s supposed to sound, and the second because you’re not always sitting in the sweet spot. In fact, DALI is so committed to their wide-dispersion approach, the company recommends that you don’t “toe-in” these speakers toward your listening position. You’ll get clearer, less-distorted sound, they explain, with the speakers firing straight ahead, and their cabinets parallel to the wall behind them. Big sound for tight spaces — and beyond Featuring a two-way design with a 7″ woofer, the Oberon 3s deliver rich sound with muscular bass. They’ll work fine in smaller spaces, but you might be surprised by the fluid and robust soundstage the 3s can deliver even in a larger room. DALI also carefully designed these speakers for a seamless handoff between the drivers. The woofer’s stiff, lightweight construction — a blend of fine-grain paper pulp reinforced with wood fibers — has an inviting sonic signature. And the 1-1/8″ tweeter also reproduces relatively low frequencies — for a tweeter — so that it overlaps with the woofer in the most musical manner. Patented distortion-reducing technology The iron pole piece of the Oberon 3’s woofer magnet is capped with a patented SMC (soft magnetic compound) disk that minimizes the negative effects of the iron. This reduces mechanical distortion, and helps create a relaxed, uncolored midrange. You’ll hear a surprising amount of detail, without fatiguing your ears. Introduce yourself to Danish speaker mojo DALI — Danish Audiophile Loudspeaker Industries — has been making high-end speakers since 1983. The Oberon is their entry-level line, but we think it offers great bang for your buck. Tight vinyl-dressed, high-density MDF cabinets, with internal bracing and acoustic damping material throughout, all but eliminate resonance. This helps the speaker “disappear,” and the music come alive. Got wire? The Oberon 3 doesn’t include any speaker wire. Read our article about choosing and installing speaker wire.
