From Danish Devotion to Audio Democracy

In 1983, Peter Lyngdorf founded Dali (Danish Audiophile Loudspeaker Industries) with a radical mission: make high-end Danish sound accessible to music lovers, not just millionaires. The Oberon 1 embodies this philosophy perfectly – speakers so small they fit on a bookshelf, so sophisticated they sound like floorstanders, so stunning in dark walnut they evoke classic European audio heritage. This demo pair in excellent condition offers Scandinavian excellence at real-world pricing.

The Compact Speakers That Fill Rooms With Danish Magic

The Oberon 1 defies physics – or at least seems to. At just 10.5 inches tall, they produce soundstages that extend beyond room boundaries. Bass reaches down to 51Hz (impossible for this size without DSP trickery). The dark walnut finish brings timeless elegance – the choice of audiophiles who appreciate that the finest audio equipment has always embraced rich wood veneers.

Where Danish Innovation Meets Timeless Elegance

SMC (Soft Magnetic Compound) Technology:
Reduced Iron Losses: Eliminates magnet system distortion
Lower Third Harmonic: Cleaner midrange reproduction
Consistent Flux: Maintains linearity at all volumes
Patented Dali Innovation: Exclusive to Dali speakers
No Eddy Currents: Pure magnetic field for pure sound

Wood Fiber Cone Excellence:
5.25" Wood/Paper Blend: Natural damping properties
Random Grain Structure: Eliminates resonance peaks
Low Mass: Superior transient response
High Rigidity: Maintains pistonic motion
Danish-Sourced Materials: Sustainable and musical

Ultra-Wide Dispersion Design:
29mm Soft Dome Tweeter: Oversized for better dispersion
Wide Surround: Maintains control at extremes
Low Crossover Point: 2.9kHz for seamless integration
Off-Axis Excellence: Sounds great throughout room
No Toe-In Required: Simplifies placement
