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.
