I run the Oberon 5's with a very similar setup - Arcam A5 (same rated 8ohm output as the Brio), and a Project Debut Carbon Evo with M2 Red. I don't seem to have this problem - for whatever reason, probably room placement though I would guess. I have a high ceiling room with carpet covered...

Dali Oberon 5’s have arrived - they look great. Unfortunately the Arcam A5 will not arrive until at least December so hopefully just in time for xmas. Fingers crossed that ships are on time and can avoid spring time storms and ex cyclones!

Yes, I second this. I guess an easy way to test this would be to try the WiiM with both RCA using its on board DAC, and then again with coax using the Arcams DAC. I have ordered an A5 - currently supplier is waiting for them to arrive in the country, and this is exactly the setup I am looking...

So I did the math for context. Foreign currency prices can sometimes be misleading without conversion. Dali Oberon 5's are currently available here for £631 which looking at the prices you mentioned seems like a bargain.

I wonder what this would pair best with?

I unfortunately have not been able to find any of these in the country. I probably would have had them in mind otherwise, I have previously owned a pair of their smaller bookshelf speakers (forget the model) but they were great.

Interesting, I hadn't actually considered Queenstown/Wanaka or Timaru. I had really just assumed that after Dunedin my next stop would be Christchurch! I'll look into it. They are all better propositions distance wise - and much more interesting drives! Thank you to everyone for responding so...

The 3050i's are probably outside my price range - here they are pricier than the Dali's, but the older 3050 model can still be had for $999. Is there much between these two models?

Generally I agree, I mainly added this because I have seen people ask this question in these types of threads before.

I appreciate the advice and suggestions here, and ideally yes, I would do some inshore auditions. Unfortunately for me, living at the bottom of the South Island in New Zealand this is a little limiting and the scatter gun approach I am taking is kind of necessitated. There is a small hifi store...

Hi, Yes, this is another please help me match x amp with x speaker thread, but, in saying that . . please help me :) I am putting together a system for my lounge space approx 4m x 10m, stud height approx 3m. Room is split into two sections with TV/living area in one half and kids play area in...
