Dali Oberon 5 5.1 Speaker Package

1,95,600

WHAT HI-FI? AWARDS 2021 ***** BEST SPEAKER PACKAGE UNDER 2,00,000 PRODUCT OF THE YEAR

Home cinema speakers are about lifting your home entertainment onto a higher plane of existence. It's all there on your video content just waiting to be unlocked: a beautiful soundtrack, clean dialogue, hard-hitting bass and surround sound effects. And Dali's Oberon 55.1 package turns the key with panache, comfortably beating every rival around it for clarity, detail and expression.

It comprises the multi-Award-winning Oberon 5 floor standing speakers as right and left channels, sandwiching an Oberon Vokal centre, with a pair of Oberon 1 stand mounters delivering surround effects. And providing the low-end punch is a 170W Sub E9-F.

The Oberon 5s have a fairly large and lightweight 29mm soft-dome tweeter, which can dip into lower frequencies to help integrate with the two 13cm mid/ bass drivers, made from Dali's wood fibre/fine-grain paper-pulp cone material.

It's a similar story for the Oberon 1 surround speakers, though there's just one mid/bass driver here. Dali has made them as versatile as possible by adding a wall-mounting attachment. The Vokal has the same drivers, with the tweeter in the middle of two mid/bass drivers and the front-facing bass port underneath.

In the sub, there's a 23cm aluminum coned woofer in an MDF enclosure, which sits on rubber legs 3cm off the floor, creating enough space for a downward firing bass vent to work its magic.

A tough test

YG Acoustics Carmel 3

On paper, the Carmel 3 from Colorado-based speaker specialist YG Acoustics has a credibility problem. They cost a huge amount of money but are small, rather plain-looking two-way floorstanders.
