After much research, I landed on this exact combo. Happy to hear it’s a winner.

“One of quirks of the Oberon 5 is that they require more power than one might expect; and that might frustrate some who plan on using them in small to medium-sized rooms”

Well, allow me to disagree with this statement.

I have these speakers for over three years in a room of only 14 square meters, driven by a Marantz PM5005, one with only 40W/channel.

And they sound flawless, I don’t need to turn up the volume even a quarter to make it sound loud enough to make me wonder if the neighbors aren’t already disturbed.

On the contrary, they are speakers very easy to drive, by most amplifiers, and also,they are speakers recommended for small and medium rooms, as the technicians from Dali told me, in the discussions with them, when I were in visit at Norager.

Hi Ian

I’m seriously thinking of buying the Dali Oberon 5, and was thinking of pairing it with the Rotel A12MKII? Is this a good match? or are there better solutions? I like controlled and dynamic low end. Thank you

Mike,

DALI/NAD were so happy with the article that I have 2 new DALi speakers coming and 2 NAD amplifiers. The DALI definitely needs some power and top end smoothness from the amplifier. The treble is so expressive and detailed that it can be bit much with the wrong amplifier.

Best,

Ian

Ken,

I like it. Is the tonal balance on the cooler side?

Best,

Hi Ian

I’ve been looking at the Oberon 5 for a while now as I have a smaller room, apart from the NAD do you have any other amp recommendations that you think could work well? I already have a streamer so I wasn’t looking for an all in one.

Many thanks

Neil
