Wiim Amp Ultra or Eversolo Play

[DiggyGun]

We called into the Hi-Fi dealer in Wroclaw called Audio Plaza and a very nice chap helped us, fortunately he spoke English, which helped me.

They stock both Wiim and Dali kit, which is why we went there. They had the Wiim Amp Ultra, but didn’t have the Dali Sonik 1. (The Sonik 1 was in stock, but at their Poznan branch).

For information, the Sonik 1 is the new replacement for the Oberon 1.

However, we had a demo of the Wiim Amp Ultra with a pair of Dali Oberon 1s to get a flavour of the kit and I played some tracks from my Qobuz Playlist to hear what the combo sounded like.

For a small streamer / amp and speakers it sounded quite good and we didn’t need to get the volume up past 50% to fill their demo room. I’ll be using it in a near field position so it should easily sound loud enough for what I want. The frequency range for the Oberon 1 and the Sonik 1 is 51 - 26,000 hz, and the bass wasn’t lacking at all which was good.

When we have moved into our new developer house, I will place an order for the Wiim Amp Ultra and the Dali Sonik 1 with Audio Plaza. Nice to help the local dealers.

If the Sonik is anything like the Oberon ... a great speaker. In fact, I like my Oberon 1s more than my 5s.

Thanks for that confirmation.

Oh excellent, I hope you're settling well.
Dali make mighty fine speakers. I have the Oberon 3's setup in my bedroom.

It always put a smile on my face, when I play them, I also have external ribbon tweeters tied to each speaker, this enhanced the top end further.

I suspect the Sonik series will be even better.
Enjoy!

Thanks for this. You’re the second person that has said that Dali speakers are good.

After yesterday, this has confirmed the direction we are going in.

Which ones are they Jason? - and what is their bottom to top frequency range?

Hi Gray

Below are some stock photos from AliExpress. Tweeters are 6ohms - technical specs as follows:
I think I've set mine to 10K. I know I can hear that (13K+), I've done the tests 🙂










Some actual photos




I know I know speaker cable wrong direction (doesn't really make a difference) 🙂 Note: Banana plugs to the external ribbon tweeter and spades to the main speaker. The tweeters are passive. This is an older model, you can only select via knob 10, 15, 20K
