DALI OBERON 5 (Black)
Speakers Per Pair
£799
”The superb DALI Oberon 5s are brilliantly musical.” ’What Hi-Fi?’ 2020 award-winner.
Floorstanding power for your music and movies
Featuring a larger cabinet and twin bass woofer units, the Oberon 5 speakers are ideal for medium-large sized rooms. With a maximum power handling of 150 watts, this pair of DALI speakers make a great match for most AV receivers – making them ideal front speakers in a home cinema system.
High quality drive units for reduced distortion
At the heart of the Oberon 5 drivers you'll find an SMC (Soft Magnetic Compound) disc magnet system. This highly specialised feature is designed to provide the most accurate speaker control and ultra-low levels of distortion. Featuring low-loss, wood fibre woofers that are based on DALI's reference grade speakers and a brand new, ultra-light tweeter, the Oberon 5 delivers a sound that’s closer than ever to the original.
Designed for your home, not a studio
Finished in a choice of Black Ash, Light Oak, Dark Walnut and White, the Oberon speakers suit a wide range of decors and not just a studio. They are also easy to get the best sound from. Unlike other speakers, they don’t need to be toed-in or pulled a long distance away from the wall behind. They also give a broad range of sound, meaning every seat in the room is a premium seat.
Elegant, contemporary design
As well as a wide choice of finishes, the harmonius design features smooth curves and an elegant floorstand. Although these are floorstanding speakers, they disguise their bulk well and blend effortlessly to your room’s décor.

Intense, Rewarding Sound
Having always owned bookshelf speakers, I was delighted when my wife suggested she'd be amenable to the diminutive Oberon 5. Ryan at Prestwich kindly arranged a demo at short notice and I was blown away, literally. It's hard to understand how these small speakers can generate such a whirlwind of sound - Powerful volume, deep bass, lovely separation, astounding dynamics on drums, yet still retaining perfect clarity of Mark Knopfler's electric guitar. I bought a pair there and then.
Setting them up at home revealed the same exciting impact. My living room is a small 4m x 3m with wooden floors and painted walls. Initially I found the bass to be boomy, far too much decay on kick drums, with a percussive impact that could be physically felt on my eardrum, a rather unpleasant sensation. I set to work on how to improve this: Dali recommend leaving 20cm distance to walls - I found 30cm to be the minimum required to reduce bass reflections. They also advise not to angle the speakers towards the listening position - follow this advice! When I tried this it created a boomy 'hotspot' of bass in the primary listening position, which was not present on the next seat.
his wasn't enough on its own - I had far better results by installing the supplied spikes, resting them on a thick chopping board which itself rests on felt pads. This massively improved the bass boom. Also beware - the run-in time on these is loooooong. I am on day 5 of near constant playback and have only today felt the bass now matches the sonic profile intended at recording, hence the review.
And it sounds FANTASTIC. I don't want this review to put you off these speakers. If you have the patience to nurture them you will be greatly rewarded - they are wonderful. Please remember I'm not used to floorstanders so this level of bass was alien to me, and my room is not acoustically ideal. The speakers are so good, they really show up every aspect of a recording. So now that I'm confident they're performing correctly, when I hear 'Doin' It Right' by Daft Punk, I know that the booming kick drum is the artist's intention, not an inadequacy of the speakers.

So easy to live with
They are just starting to loosen up. Now that lovely detailed imagery is starting to shine. Suit room size well and easy to tap along to a real rythm in the music.

very Impressive sound
I took delivery of my new Dali speakers today and I've been listening to them ever since. I really like them. If they sound this good now, how good will they be when I've run them in.

Wonderful Speakers!
I bought the speakers as an upgrade to my existing pair and couldn't be happier! Although they are not physically big they pack a punch, and give a full well rounded sound. I would recommend these for anyone looking for a pair of floor-standers!
