Small But Mighty. DALI Oberon 1 C Active Speaker Review (Take 2, Ep:30)

On February 15, 2021, Gordon Brockhouse reviewed the DALI Oberon 1 C active loudspeakers and Wireless Sound Hub for SoundStage! Simplifi and loved the sound from the setup, but he had a problem with “dropouts,” which would disrupt his listening. Still, he saw enough potential in the speaker system to write that “they’re limited in how loud they can play, but for quiet listening and small rooms, DALI’s Oberon 1 Cs could be just the ticket-as long as those dropouts don’t interrupt your music.”

In this, the 30th episode of Take 2, Jay Lee re-examines the DALI Oberon 1 C loudspeakers and Sound Hub. Did Jay have dropout problems? Did he like them as much as Gordon did? Or did he like them even more? Watch to find out.

I have the passive version and I love them !

Hey, your lowboard looks awesome. Do you have a link, where to get it? Thank you so much :-)

I have the Opticon 1 and transferred them into an active version by putting the internals of IKEA Symfonisk into them. Sounds great and you can use the Sonos Ecosystem including the Trueplay room correction. I also added a Sonos Sub. Works fantastic.

That's some "out of the box" thinking!

Hey, what's the speaker stands, and what is that subwoofer that you zoomed in on? Would you recommend pairing that subwoofer with these speakers? Thanks

How do you compare these to the Tannoy gold monitor siries (5,7,8)?

[@TheDarius1968]

Thanks for this review. Sounds like you know what you're talking about! When you brought up these speakers being derrived from the company's passive model, it reminded me of another speaker manufacturer, PSB Audio, that has done the very same thing, with their PS5 passive speaker. I never heard of this company that you reviewed here. So, thanks! Have you any experience with Genelec studio monitors? More specifically, I'm considering a pair of the 8020D. Are you able to offer any comment on this soecific model? Thanks!

is it good for low volume sound?

[@soundstagenetwork]

Yes, very
