So it's finally down (I pray to the heavens it is so!) to three speakers. I have tested multiple genres of music and they were spot on the sound. All these speakers I would describe as being very musical. I have the budget for all three speakers, but I want to get the best out the money and quality. My focus is on detail, soundstage, punch...
Dali Oberon 7
Pros
1) 2 way speaker that I am getting at a good price.
2)I get my colour (white) and a very musical sounding speaker with great sound stage and great detail at just the right amount of warmth and open sound for metal, hard rock and electronic music.
3) 6 ohm speaker that will tax my AVR for lesser power (since my Onkyo AVR does 6(110W)-8 ohms (85 W)
4) Will be perfect for my room size (14.8 ft (L) x 13 ft (W) x 10 ft (H)
Cons -
1)Not a 3 way
2)Less sensitivity - 88.5
3)I don't have a chance to check this speaker against the other two
4) Not sure about this, but does this have the same high treble as the Zensor 7?
