information/feedback on dali speakers

Let us lay to rest that Dali MS4's are bright.
First they must be broken in for a week or two, and that means driving them hard. (Huge difference in sound once broken in.)( Think two weeks.)
Second they prefer to my ears to be widely spaced and pointed straight forward as stated by Dali.
Third they sound best to me sitting farther from them then other speakers that I have heard. (Think two or three extra feet.) Also try tilting they back a bit for best integration as suggest by a reviewer I believe from TAS.
Bright!!!!!!! NO WAY!!!!!!! I can't stand bright or hard speakers. These are very liquid on top.
They are clean and clear and have all the bottom end that I need. They have great resolution, and I have not experienced any fatigue on good recordings. (Junk recordings sound like junk.)
If you hear bright you have a source problem.

Cink and CMK

I failed being able to tell if the MS4 or MS5 was playing in a brief blind test. They are VERY close. That said the MS5's are a "bit" warmer and slightly fuller. We are talking less then 3% difference. The 5's would be needed only if you had a very large room. Unless they are side by side you would not know the difference in sound imo. Even then they are close. PS (Hearing wise I do have perfect pitch.)Yes they do rock and orchestra.
Other speakers in the running before I purchased the Dali's were Maggie 3.6's and Sonus Faber Cremona's. No contest to my ears the MS4's are a cleaner, clearer sound.
Stereophile gave the 5's an A ranking, the same applies to the 4's imo.
