I just bought a pair of Opticon 1 and they are better IMO than KEF LS50 in almost everything except bass To my opinion at least, LS50s are overrated, I sold them I am a new Dali fan, the sound is energetic in a good way
@@sccanj I agree, the opticon 1 is more balanced and about €500 cheaper than the Ls50. Both of them are definitely far from my Rubicon, but this is a different price category.
listen carefully.. that means the sound is maybe 10% better. I can honestly say that the crossover is really terrible for the price. for example, wharfedale looks good inside as well. Dalí Oberon looks very good on the outside but inside it is simply unacceptable. the crossover is the heart of the sound.
@@KevinRusnak-ig8gl : ok, can you tell what type of wharferdale that can compete the sound of oberon 1 and with the same price (more or less).. my room 3m x 3m. my choose now : oberon 1, spector 2, elac b6.2, q acoustics 3030i. need advice.. thanks
the speakers were much better if the crossovers were of better quality. For a price of $500, higher quality is expected. the sound is very poor. no offense . there is a lack of resolution in the sound. I can't put Oberon. For that price, I prefer wharfedale, Klipsch, q Acoustic, Mission,..
Haven’t tried Spektor or Oberon but I just bought a pair of Opticon 1 and they are better than KEF LS50s (old model) in almost everything, except bass I say LS50 because I had them for 3 years Better definition and vocals than LS50 without the fatigue
@@sccanj everyone likes something different . I have a wharfedale Evo 4.2 they have a very good resolution, the instrument section is great. there are people who hear a very bright sound and think that they will hear much more detail, but that is not the case. wharfedale for example is very dark but has a much more detailed sound. Yes, Dalí Option is better than Oberon, but competitors offer better sound.
