Revel F36 or Dali Oberon 7


Hey guys,

Decided to let go of my Martin Logan 60xti.  They were just too harsh for me. I tried to like them, couldn't. get there.  Budget is 1000k per speaker.  

I've narrowed it down to Revel F36 or Dali Oberon 7.  

Looking for some advice (pros and cons)....room is large. My seating position is 9-10ft from speaker. I enjoy my music as higher volumes, 95 SPL.

  • Amps - Schiit Tyr(s), 
  • Preamp -- Schiit Freya+
  • Streamer -- Lumin T1 mini

Thanks!

I have owned the Dali OB. 7’s and now have Revel (Be series) in my main system. Whilst I have never auditioned the F series I MUCH prefer the Revel sound to the Dali’s. I had the 7’s in a second system and ended up selling them. I tried the Opticon 6 and never really warmed up to them either. I found the Dali sound to be kind of dull and too laid back for my tastes. I would say the Revel’s have a much livelier sound, not bright at all, just more “alive” and more airy and detailed. I would also agree the Revel’s have a huge edge in the bass dept.

 

I bought the Dali’s without auditioning figuring I loved the Dynaudio sound and both being Danish manufacturers (at the time Dynaudio was too expensive for a second system for me) figured they’d be similar but found that not to be the case…

 

Best of luck and remember to always enjoy the ride👍🏻
