We come first to the conditions. The Dali censor 3 are in the bedroom (well 16 sqm), parquet floor on the Norstone Walk Stands and are connected with Audiovox LS cable with a Yamaha R-N500 stereo network receiver. As a player of Yamaha used CD-D700. The TV's sound is also output from the speakers.
The fund is used for listening to TV, radio plays about AirPlay and music from CD in quieter with medium volume.
The plant was put together as an alternative to BeoPlay A8. I wanted to achieve a much better stereo sound in the same price segment. Airplay and network streaming was mandatory. I also liked the design.
The sound test I carried out in the Pure Direct mode, ie without any sound settings.
Now for the censor 3 boxes. What Dali has off the ground with these speakers is great cinema. If Porsche builds a Golf for Polo price, then you could compare this vehicle with the censor 3 boxes. It is certainly not a 911, but appeals to all golf buyers and perhaps someone who wanted to buy a Polo.
The boxes sound absolutely precise, very clear and differentiated. In classical music instruments are mapped amazingly realistic and detailed. Voices heard in as the speaker stands in front of a. Correctly positioned the speakers produce a magnificent stage, as you can hear in Adele's Rolling Into Deep. Also In The Air Tonight by Phil Collins sounding super clean. In Breakthrough of Queen me first the little cluck of Freddy Mercury noticed, but the song seems to me already over anything too flashy. In general, the boxes have a rather cool tone, which is confirmed in November Rain in rock music. Perhaps also a very subjective feeling, as I have learned to love the song in the 90s on warm Cantons. Michael Jackson's Bad, we played with precise, powerful bass. To test the full range I have again placed at the end the dark side of the moon by Pink Floyd. Everything is focused clean. Herrlich.
Dali writes in the manual that the boxes need about 100 hours break-in period. I am curious to see if they are a bit "warmer".
The optics and finish are excellent.
For my needs and the tight budget the Dali censor 3 are the best choice.
