phras, I have not owned Dahli, but have heard them several times at shows, and been close a couple of times to requesting a review. Your response regarding the slightly� larger bookshelf makes me think that you may enjoy moving into a nice headphone setup as an alternative. When you feel that a more diminutive bookshelf is already overloading your room, then headphones would be a well-considered option.
In terms of electronics, the sky is the limit. No one can tell you which of the plethora of options would be better. Only� direct comparison ma�y help, and personal opinion and preferences come into play even at that.
A demo with return option is a good way to go.
