Dali Zensor 1: First impressions

[oswalakhil]

Hi everyone!

Thanks for your help and inputs along the way, now I finally dived into my first speaker system and bought a pair of the Dali Zensor 1 :yahoo: hyeah: today

I'll post my impressions as I run it in for a few hours and listen to more music...I've had them just about 4 hours now

Frankly, they're just Amazing for the price!
The amount of clarity, cleanness and uncolored nature was already mindblowing, but the bass is a surprise plus. Very tight, neat and clean.

Also I'm waiting for a stock of the Zensor vokal to come in so I can add it to the center. Also looking to purchase either the Velodyne Impact 10/Astonia sub 10 to match with the system.

I hope to write a layman but more descriptive review soon

Zensor is admired series & glad to know you are happy.Bass will improve further after few days & will go deeper.Congrats.

Gratzies!!! During the course of choosing my setup I did come across a pair of Zensors and they are definitely richer and tighter than several other speakers.. loved their lows and highs...

 

[oswalakhil]

Thanks guys!
They've already started to open up
I need a pair of stands to put them on.

Meanwhile, any inputs on the Astonia Sub 10 vs the Velodyne Impact 10?
Is the Velodyne worth the price difference? In SQ of course.

Congrats!!

Where you bought? How much do they cost??

Which Amp you are driving them with?

Congrats on the dalis. Now get a pair of stands from magma.

 

[prosenjit]

it would be highly appreciated if you share your amp and source.....thanks

 

[oswalakhil]

Thanks guys

I'm pairing it with a Marantz NR1402 AVR, my source is majorly my Dell XPS, which has a pretty decent soundcard.
I use aimp3/foo/vlc to play high bitrate mp3s/Flacs when I can get them.

Where can i get Magma stands? About how much would they start at?

 

[prosenjit]

your dell xps to maratnz avr,.....directly from 3.5 female jack into marantz RCA in..or any DAC..also which cable...
thanks

 

[oswalakhil]

Its a 3.5 out from the speaker out of the xps to rca of Marantz- a good cable I'd got with my camera a while ago.
No DAC yet, would plan to get that along the way.

Cables as of now I'm using old sad ones, but Ive bought a gauge-14 cable which seems of pretty good quality, which I'll use once my positioning is set.
As of now they're placed about 6 feet apart and the listening distance is about 6 feet.

You can PM forum member Magma about the stands. Check out his website here Sound Foundations - Homepage

Yes,I could demo those & mid range is very good,clear,no nasal.Treble clean,rounded.No straining on high volume.Stereo imaging is perfect & so the separation.Bass is very fast ,tight,still cant go deep compared to CA S30.
Main beauty is the overall sound quality.

Congrats, those are great pair of speakers, i liked them too.
Did you inquired about how much the center speaker of dali will cost you?
I came to know from someone that its costlier than their BS.

These are lovely little speakers!
Bought them in Hong Kong in Nov 2011 for around Rs 11500 along with a Marantz CR503. Lovely set-up in the bedroom.
I have them wall mounted and they still sound great. I have no place to set them on stands. In fact, I was actually looking for wall mountable speakers when I came across these.
