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!

apples and oranges. Dali is a much larger / consumer company, Reve is about 5 times smaller, audiophile focused. That means Dali is economies of scale, may be better value. But just because it's Danish it's not in a Dynaudio/Raidho/Borresen league.

Revel is part of Harmon, which itself is part of Samsung. So Revel enjoys considerable benefit from economy of scale.

We’ll see what’s sounds the best to me. I’m not concerned with economies of scale, just quality of music to my ears.

I don't know if being part of has a massive impact on the economies of scale. The company culture may not (want to) change. But it sure is a factor.

I’m sure it is. The bottom line will be how they sound in comparison to each other, right? Could be oranges to apples.  Maybe I’ll like the oranges maybe I’ll like the apples as the 60xtis were to the Dalis.  I paid the same price the both. It’s a. Interesting project.
