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!

Yes I have heard these two extensively and it is not even fair. The F350 is a much better speaker. More coherent, better low end picking with the room it was in a better vertical control without incessant lobing.

 

If you’re in the US you can get the black F36 on Crutchfield Revel F36 Black @rwalsh07

Interesting.  Maybe I’ll get both and do a side by side. I appreciate your insight!

If you value bass impact you’ll prefer the Revels. If midrange warmth and smoothness are more important then the Dalis. Have you tried B&W 603s? Not as slammin’ as the F36 or as warm as the Obi 7, but a nice blend of both speakers’ strengths.

I demo’s the B&Ws, they were a bit bright for my taste.  Man, this speaker chasing is tiring but fun too.  I’m on the hunt…
