Hi guys,
Comparing sound performance of Dali Oberon 5 vs Focal Chorus 716 or 726, which one is good for music and also home theater sound? Price/performance can be considered though not a critical factor. |

QUOTE(ktek @ Jan 31 2021, 08:45 PM) wah x2 Nothing to adjust, did not adjust as it came installed to the speaker bottom, just place the plate that protect the floorthe spike leg easy to adjust or not. u put solid tile floor or carpet QUOTE(ktek @ Jan 31 2021, 08:49 PM) the bass port is open on bottom surface ? Yes, port at bottomi see from web pics only. appreciates if u uploads some thanks QUOTE(ktek @ Jan 31 2021, 09:07 PM) ribbon twts. got directional feel? Did not really check the directional aspect, but should have it, need to toe in the speaker as advised by Wharfedale. Why not u go to local hi fi shop to audition one yourself ? |

QUOTE(Calebraj @ Feb 5 2021, 04:54 PM) Based on what they both says. Thanks !Oberon 5 on specs reach to a lower note if your source can provide them. Focal 716/726 are known for their high register. Sometime some feel that it is too sharp (or fatigue) when wrongly match. Ultimately i personally prefer the Oberon 5, as i think the Focal sounds too clinical. (not so free flowing). Plus, the Oberon 5 dont need to toe in. That is a plus to me! I ended up comparing Oberon 7 vs Wharfedale EVO 4.4. Opted for the later due to high ranking it received from some hifi sources. But did get Dali Spektor 2 as my back surround setup. |

QUOTE(Calebraj @ Feb 7 2021, 07:59 PM) Nice! No plan to upgrade yet. Still trying to get the Atmos ceiling speaker running. Still trying to get the overhead sound identified, not sure own imagination or it is the Atmos overhead sound. Hahaha !So next up, looking at upgrading amps? haha |

QUOTE(Calebraj @ Feb 13 2021, 03:10 PM) I think those are mostly fills use only. Yes, Atmos ceiling speaker sounds are rare. Currently mainly using the 5.1.2 setup for music, hahaha !about 60-70% if main sound still comes for front 3 speakers- front left/right and centre. Some movie channels have the Atmos ceiling effect sounds. Still struggling to really enjoy the ceiling speakers. Just let it be first. |

QUOTE(gobiomani @ Feb 15 2021, 05:26 PM) Nice. Did you also get the centre speaker? It's really huge. Did not get their centre speaker as it is relatively expensive. So got Elac centre speaker instead. |
