If you can't place a floor-standing speaker in your living space or prefer to enjoy music through a powerful bookshelf speaker placed on a sideboard or speaker stand, then the DALI Oberon 3 with its approximately A4-sized front baffle might be the right choice for you. This model delivers sound quality that rivals that of a slim floor-standing speaker, thanks to its 180 mm (7 inch) mid-bass driver with a wood fiber diaphragm and SMC magnetic system, as well as the 29 mm Oberon dome tweeter. This is made possible by the relatively large diaphragm area of the two drivers used in the Oberon 3 and their particularly wide dispersion characteristics. While similarly sized bookshelf speakers typically feature 165 mm woofers and 19 or 20 mm tweeters, the Oberon 3 employs a 180 mm mid-bass driver and a 29 mm dome. Thanks to the approximately 15% larger diaphragm area, the drivers can generate a certain sound pressure with significantly less excursion. As a result, the Oberon 3 sounds extremely dynamic while effortlessly presenting all types of music or film soundtracks in a way that is pleasant to the ear.
