So I had posted before in an earlier thread about upgrading my old Sonodyne speakers in my 10 x 12 ft room to a new 5.1.2 system with a budget of around 2 lakhs... I had a demo of KEF, Dali, Q Acoustics, Polk and a few other brands and I seem to like Dali the best. Initially I wanted to go for KEF but after a demo at Pro-FX I didn't like them quite as much. Also what worried me was that quite a few of the shops were demoing the speakers through bluetooth or Air play, sometimes using my own phone. So I am wondering if that was the reason for some of the speakers not sounding as good due to quality loss. I might visit Pro-FX for demoing the KEFs again but for now I am leaning quite a bit towards Dali as my next speakers.
Another thing to note is that I had a demo of both the Oberon 7 and the Zensor 7 at The Shop and although they both sounded very close in fidelity, the Zensor seems to be more lively to me. Has anyone else heard both the Oberon and Zensor and can tell me which do they find better? Also the Zensors are cheaper and will definitely help me with my budget.
Anyways for now its gonna be either of the below 2 systems:
Dali Oberon 7 (Front L + R)
Dali Oberon Vocal (Centre)
Dali Oberon 3 (Rears)
Dali Alteco (Atmos)
OR
Dali Zensor 7 (Front L + R)
Dali Zensor Vocal (Centre)
Dali Zensor 3 (Rears)
Dali Alteco (Atmos)
Another thing I noticed that the Oberon is rear ported while the Zensor is front ported and I dont think I can place the speakers at too much distance away from the wall. How far do the rear ported speakers need to be placed from the wall?
I am still deciding on the Sub but will most likely go with SVS. I will take another demo of the KEFs to see if I like them over the Dali.
So what do you guys think of my choice and should I go with the Oberon or the Zensor? Any other speakers that you guys think that I should demo?
