Dali Oberon 1 vs Dayton Audio B652

I found the B&W 607s to be a better match for me, but they required work on placement, replacing the factory jumpers (they have separate terminals for the woofer and tweeter and I found the factory jumper between those terminals degraded the sound of the driver not directly connected to the speaker wire), and room equalizing to get a balanced sound. Some may find the 607s as intense and prefer the comfort and ease of the Oberon 1s that sound very fine and balanced, though warmer and rounder, right out of the box.

That said, they do produce stereo sound so if your sound system currently consists of a sound bar, or something similar, you will definitely notice a night and day difference in sound quality because they will produce true stereo separation. In addition, the B652s may make excellent rear surrounds in a surround sound system but I have never used them in this manner. If you have never listened to better speakers and you have only used computer speakers or the cheap speakers that come with MP3 player docks in the past there is no reason you will not enjoy these speakers. Sound quality is up to the listener and the listener's experience is what often dictates what that person thinks about the quality of a pair of speakers

Had dali oberon 5 floorstanders!! Great speakers, bass-heavy and relatively fast. Great for heavy stuff like converge.

The cabinet is simply too small for this size woofer. That means there's not enough air volume to allow the cone to move as it should. This hurts bass response and also low frequency volume. Since these are not ported, I decided to remedy that
