Housed in a high-density MDF cabinet with internal bracing and complemented by stylish grilles, these speakers offer wide sound dispersion ideal for smaller or uniquely shaped rooms. Perfect for audiophiles seeking elegant design and professional-grade sound performance. ## Description Product Description Slim floor-standing loudspeakers like the OBERON 5 are considered to be the all-rounders among sound transducers: they require comparatively little floor space, can be easily integrated into most living environments and impress with their outstanding sound quality. The OBERON 5 is one of the best-sounding speakers in its class, thanks not only to its particularly sturdy cabinet, which is reinforced with internal cross braces to protect it from unwanted cabinet resonance, but also to the technical ingredients that are not commonplace. So it's no surprise that the two bass-midrange drivers, developed in-house at DALI, promise a deep, dynamic bass and a balanced, natural midrange. This is because the drivers not only feature particularly light yet extremely rigid 130 mm (5 1/4'') wood-fibre cones, but also magnet systems manufactured with the patented magnetic material SMC and high-quality voice coils wound from a copper-coated aluminium wire. All this results in a particularly impulsive, lively and faithful reproduction of all music and film soundtracks. Above 2,400 Hz, the specially designed OBERON tweeter takes over the reproduction of all upper mids and high frequencies. The extra-large 29 mm dome tweeter is made of an exceptionally light fabric and can therefore reproduce even the shortest impulses in the signal path very precisely. Thanks to its wide dispersion pattern, the OBERON 5 is able to fill the entire room with a cleanly staggered stereo sound image, rather than the few listening spots located exactly opposite the speakers in the "sweet spot". LOW-MIDRANGE SPEAKER Like all DALI drivers designed to reproduce mid and low frequencies, the two 130 mm (5 1/4'') bass-midrange drivers of the OBERON 5 feature a wood fibre cone. The mixture of a fine-grained paper pulp reinforced by the addition of wood fibres results in a stiff, lightweight structure with excellent acoustic properties. In combination with particularly low-loss surrounds and centre spiders, the cone reproduces even the finest sound details with extreme clarity and precision. The cones are surrounded by a rubber surround which, due to its soft and very flexible material, allows the cone to vibrate absolutely freely, has very low damping and allows the magnet system to control the cone movement very precisely. SMC The use of SMC in the magnet system significantly reduces mechanical distortion caused by hysteresis and eddy currents. In combination, these improvements to the magnet drive significantly reduce third-order distortion, which is why the OBERON Series speakers provide a longer, more relaxed listening experience with unobtrusive midrange and an amazing level of detail in this class. The drive consists of a large ferrite magnet surrounding a pole piece made from the unique combination of iron and SMC. SMC is a magnetic powder that makes it possible to form strong magnets that do not conduct electricity. Since the ferrite iron forms only the base of the pole piece, the negative effects of the iron are minimised, while the 10 mm thick SMC disc on top of the pole piece is placed exactly in the centre of the main working area of the four-layer voice coil. Tweeter The tweeter, with its ultra-light 29 mm diameter fabric dome, was developed specifically for the OBERON Series. The cone is made of an extremely light fabric that weighs less than half as much as most other dome tweeters on the market, at only 0.060 mg per mm2. Thanks to the large diaphragm, the tweeter achieves a higher sound pressure level with a smaller excursion, allowing the voice coil to move with great precision and control at all times. The tweeter's magnet system is cooled with ferrofluid in the interest of higher power handling, perfect damping and to support absolutely centred voice coil excursion. Review: Elegant and enjoyable speakers - Had these for a god while. I wouldn't call these small. But they are elegant looking for floor standers while being confidently heavy. Whether you benefit from these will depend on what speakers you previously owned. I had Wharfdale 9 series bookshelf speakers, so the lift in audio clarity was noticeable. But not as incredible as you might think, if you keep an amp that doesn't have a bit of power. I still use an old Arcam Solo, so the benefits for me are okay but not as immense as if I had more modern separates complimenting the jump in cost of these lovely speakers from my trusty Wharfedales now with a DM41. But none of these notes to the buyer detracts from what will be a very capable and enjoyable pair of speakers if you have good separates, or upgrade your amp to help the speakers sparkle. They will then show their true value, which is probably well above the asking price. No complaints, they're excellent - I'm saying don't think you just buy these and that's that. They'll only be as special as some buyers say, when matched with a reasonably good set-up and a touch of room treatment. But if these will be your first floor standers, and you are demanding of things you buy, they won't disappoint your critical ears. Review: Recommended - especially for smaller or awkwardly shaped rooms - I have now had these speakers long enough to give a full review. They replaced a pair of Castle Conway's, which were nearly 25 years old, and had never given anything but good service being a high end offering at the time of original purchase. I wanted to see if the technology had advanced the reproduction in 25 years. The performance of the Dali's was not remarkable different from the Castle's despite there age which showed their original quality. The Dali's had a slightly clearer top end and the bass extension was lower, but only marginally so. Overall they give an extremely satisfying performance. However there is one aspect in which they stand out notably. This is in their remarkable wide distribution of sound which extend to at least 180 degrees with clarity. In this respect they exceed the Castle speakers completely as they were more directional. As a consequence of the Dali's non directional sound and modest size they are extremely suited to a smaller room or one where the placing of the speakers may not be idea as the sound will fill the whole area wonderfully. ## Features - 5.25 inch wood-fibre reinforced woofers produce a detailed and dynamic performance - SMC technology eliminates mechanical distortion and improves flux field - 29mm tweeter uses ultra-lightweight membrane, and is optimised for lower frequencies with a smoother crossover - Cabinet constructed from high density MDF with internal bracing - New designed grilles in complimentary colours to cabinet finishes ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07H2LNRC6 | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Antenna Location | Mechanical | | Audio Driver Size | 5.25 Inches | | Audio Driver Type | Dynamic Driver | | Audio Output Mode | Surround | | Audio output mode | Surround | | Best Sellers Rank | 45,888 in Electronics & Photo ( See Top 100 in Electronics & Photo ) 16 in Floorstanding Hi-Fi Speakers | | Box Contents | 2 floor speakers with complementary colour finish grilles | | Brand | DALI | | Brand Name | DALI | | Colour | Ash Black | | Compatible Devices | Personal Computer, Laptop, Television | | Connectivity Protocol | RCA, 3.5mm aux | | Connectivity technology | RCA , Speaker Wire | | Control Method | Remote | | Controller Type | Touch | | Customer Package Type | FFP | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 284 Reviews | | EU Spare Part Availability Duration | 7 Years | | Enclosure Material | Wood fibre | | Frequency Response | 26000 Hz | | Frequency response | 26000 Hz | | Impedance | 6 Ohms | | Is Electric | Yes | | Is Waterproof | True | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 35D x 45.5W x 94H centimetres | | Item Weight | 27.23 Pounds | | MP3 player | No | | Manufacturer | DALI | | Maximum Speaker Output Power (in watts) | 150 Watts | | Model Name | Oberon 5 | | Model Number | 230053 | | Mounting Type | Floor Standing | | Mounting type | Floor Standing | | Network Connectivity Technology | RCA, Speaker Wire | | Number Of Circuits | 2 | | Number of Audio Channels | 5.1 | | Number of Items | 2 | | Number of Power Levels | 1 | | Power Source | Battery Powered | | Processor Count | 1 | | Product Features | Portable | | Series Number | 5 | | Speaker Size | 5.25 Inches | | Speaker Type | Tower | | Speaker maximum output power | 150 Watts | | Specific Uses For Product | Floor | | Subwoofer Connectivity Technology | Wired | | Subwoofer Speaker Diameter | 130 Millimetres | | Tweeter Diameter | 29 Millimetres | | UPC | 680140965454 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | | Warranty Type | Limited | | Water Resistance Level | Waterproof | | Wireless Technology Type | Bluetooth | | Woofer Driver Diameter | 5.25 Inches | ## Product Details - **Audio output mode:** Surround - **Brand:** DALI - **Connectivity technology:** RCA, Speaker Wire - **Frequency response:** 26000 Hz - **Material:** Wood fibre - **Model name:** Oberon 5 - **Mounting type:** Floor Standing - **Speaker maximum output power:** 150 Watts - **Speaker type:** Tower - **Special feature:** Portable ## Images ![DALI Oberon 5 Floorstanding Loudspeaker Pair Ash Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51nHErhHq9L.jpg) ![DALI Oberon 5 Floorstanding Loudspeaker Pair Ash Black - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51yTkc9J5IL.jpg) ![DALI Oberon 5 Floorstanding Loudspeaker Pair Ash Black - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51ymQpvOvzL.jpg) ![DALI Oberon 5 Floorstanding Loudspeaker Pair Ash Black - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61hWiVxcfyL.jpg) ![DALI Oberon 5 Floorstanding Loudspeaker Pair Ash Black - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51z2ovhMXRL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Elegant and enjoyable speakers *by C***E on 16 June 2025* Had these for a god while.

Does not matter what genre of music you send them they acquit themselves so well you forget they are there – it is all about the music after all. My source is a Marantz CD player feeding a Rega Brio amp and then via good old fashioned 79 strand to these wonderful Dali speakers. The β€œsoundstage” is wide and three dimensional and the speakers keep bringing out new elements of album tracks that I had previously missed. Play them loud or quiet and they seem to adjust; filling the room with music. Worth saying that they are also very handsome and complement the room without being intrusive. They seem very unfussy about positioning, delivering a strong bass line and remarkably detailed upper frequencies. I have nothing negative to say as they have met and exceeded my expectations. ## Frequently Bought Together - DALI Oberon 5 Hi-Fi Floorstanding Tower Speakers - Black (Pair) - DALI Oberon Vokal Centre Channel Speaker - Black Ash --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/89665383-dali-oberon-5-floorstanding-loudspeaker-pair-ash-black](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/89665383-dali-oberon-5-floorstanding-loudspeaker-pair-ash-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-15*
