DALI Oberon 9 Floorstanding Speakers (Pair)
DALI Oberon 9 Floorstanding Speakers
The largest in the DALI OBERON range, the OBERON 9 is a true high-end Hi-Fi speaker that combines ultimate refinement and startling detail with effortless power to bring genuine concert and cinema experiences into any listening space.
The OBERON 9 delivers the very best in deep bass and large room performance. Despite its size, this speaker is surprisingly delicate and will impress with its ability to render natural, lifelike music of any style, even at lower volumes. Both the driver materials and speaker geometry have been selected to achieve a wide dispersion pattern – we've applied the same principles to the crossover design. As a result, you'll experience amazingly well integrated sound, even when listening at a significant off-axis angle.
The OBERON 9 features a dedicated 7" midrange driver supported by twin 9" bass woofers. All three low loss drivers are optimized with a new wood fiber structured cone dedicated to reproducing the delicate midrange and bass frequency area. Constructed from a blend of fine-grain paper pulp reinforced with wood fibers, the woofer creates a stiff, yet lightweight structure. And when combined with the low loss surround and spider suspension, the OBERON 9 woofer reproduces the most minute details in the signal, unfiltered and with high accuracy.
The use of SMC (Soft Magnetic Compound) in the OBERON 9 greatly reduces mechanical distortion caused by hysteresis and eddy currents. The result is a magnet motor system with a drastic reduction in third-order distortion, which allows the OBERON 9 to deliver extended listening pleasure, a relaxed midrange and a surprising amount of detailing in its class.
The oversized 29 mm ultra-lightweight soft dome tweeter was specifically developed for the OBERON series, combining well-proven technologies from our existing DALI ranges with new features. The large size of the membrane lets the tweeter generate higher sound pressure with less excursion, keeping the voice-coil motion to a controlled minimum. The tweeter front plate near the dome has been designed with similar geometry to the OPTICON and RUBICON tweeters to create the optimal working conditions for the soft dome. This results in extended frequency response, wide dispersion and low coloration.
The OBERON 9 cabinet is constructed from a high density, CNC machined MDF board dressed in high-grade vinyl. The extremely rigid structure is achieved with solid bracings across the inside of the cabinet, which practically eliminates cabinet resonance. The bass ports at the rear of the cabinet optimize room integration by using a rear wall surface to improve bass performance. The elegantly shaped aluminum base also gives the floorstanding OBERON 9 a lighter, elevated look.

Customer Reviews
I cannot be more pleased with my purchase. The Oberon 9's have tight and balanced bass that can only be described as musical. Vocals make you close your eyes and smile. Music as it is meant to be! Every genre of music sounds great on these which is what I love. Recently I reviewed a set of technically perfect speakers. Flat measuring and really... perfect by the numbers. They were awful with rock and only were "perfect" with certain tracks. They did not pair well with my large room either. Just not for me. I like a speaker to sound live. I like it to be dynamic and have a soul. I want the emotional connection and these 9's just deliver that! The stage is HUGE with these. Height, depth and width. A room filling wall of sound. Thanks to Dali for creating such a big floor stander like this at this price point. Something magical about a true 3 way that can deliver top to bottom with no sub required. Well done!
