Shite photo but these Oberon 1’s are spot on. I think they look very smart indeed. As does the Mrs.
Dali apparently designed them to be very unfussy with regards to placement and you can tell. Despite being in a corner and rear ported and incredibly close to the wall, everything sounds controlled. No boomy low end and I’m pretty sure if I close my eyes, it sounds like Paul McCartney is in my living room (listening to the Master recording of Sgt Pepper via Tidal). Sound stage is expansive and instrument separation - one of my biggest requirements - is very good. They did come with isolation pads that I’ll install once I know I’m keeping them. I may grab a pair of B&W 607’s too to A/B with these but so far, very impressed.
Always surprises me when people say small boxes can’t produce low end frequencies. These definitely can.
