We currently have no plans to move the production of the OBERONs. If you are not aware, the OBERONs are made at our own facility in China, DALI Ningbo. The production standard is at par with our factory in Denmark, and our Chinese colleagues are equally skilled. DALI Ningbo is run by a Danish CEO, and we work closely together with our colleagues in Ningbo. This enables us to produce high-quality speakers for customers, where price is just as important as quality.
Hello, i have purchased a pair of Dali opticon 1 MK2 with Yamaha a-s 501 stereo amp. The delivery for a speakers in a month. So all i have left is wandering - how well or bad will Opticons 1 perform with this amp? I am a newbie, so please make your opinions, gentlemen!
With changes to the new MK2 series, what specifically are the SQ differences going from Opticon 1 MK1 to Opticon 1 MK2? One person stated the new speakers were more lively and sparkly, is this a fair desecration? Otherwise, I would expect there to be little difference between the two in SQ. I have the MK1 and wonder if its worth pursuing the MK2?
Valid question. Naturally, we would say that the MK2 is superior to the MK1 speaker and will provide a better listening experience. But the best way to confirm is to book yourself a demo and compare the speakers in a live environment; keywords don't do DALI speakers justice but a live listening experience will speak a thousand words. :) - Dan You can find a dealer near your location here - www.dali-speakers.com/en/locate-a-dealer/
Купил недавно opticon vocal mk2 на замену Oberon vocal , и очень удивился глухости колонки , фронты стоят opticon 6mk2 и играют отлично , это что ее особенность играть глуше даже чем Оберон ?
But why is the woofer on the opticon 1 mk2 smaller than on the oberon 1? Why there's no hybrid tweeter on the smaller versions (e.g. opticon 1, 2)? Just curious.
It is not always just the size of the driver that matters. It's how you make use of it. Size doesn't determine how detailed or spacious a driver can be, and every driver has its own qualities and sound. Each driver is developed specifically for the series, within it is used. In regards to the hybrid tweeter, the very short answer is...space issues. The size of the bookshelf speakers are often an important factor for the customer, which limits the option of adding a hybrid tweeter. If we added a hybrid tweeter to the current models, they would be very tall-faced, not very practical to place and probably not that pretty as well. Furthermore, the price also has an impact on the decision.
Just bought it. Really immersive sound with Denon 1600ne and Teac UD-505. Shop offered Arslab Classic 3.5, Dali Opticon 6 MK II and Elac 267 for my music preferences. After some information gathering, I have to say no to Arslab. It's assebled in Latvia, Latvia have anti Russian policies with peopaganda and language and culture genocide in their borders. I don't mad to support economy of such country. So, there was Dali vs Elac. Elac offers more detailed sound, but not drastically. In the same time there are less bass and much worse quality of playing mp3's with low bitrate (and it's hard to find salsa casino music with flac ot mp3 320, so I have a lot of tracks with 128 and 192 bps). Elac shows all disadvantages of such low bitrate perfectly... Dali, on other hand, hides it somehow, with not so much loss of details on HiRes tracks. Have better bass (BTW, on paper Elac 267 offers bass from 30 Hz, and Dali from 49, but in real listening, Dali Opticon MK II far ahead). Also, DALI offers incredible, terrific scene and positioning for the price. Vocal quality very close to some HiEnd acoustics, I listened before and moe musical and immersible feeling. All system quite warm and bit dark in term of sound. Perfect for dark pop, like OMNIMAR (in TIDAL with max quality music just covers me with a delightful wave), good for rock and pleasant for acoustic guitar and piano. But for last two I dream about more natural sound, like it delivers with voices... Rubicon 6 MK II several years later? :-)
