I need small white bookshelf speaker with excellent sound and I've found in the Dali censor 1 for the kitchen. I run the boxes on the receiver the devil Kombo 42. counter a recession that I (think I) have read here of course not replace them big boxes. The sound is really good, the instruction manual should actually leave the tone controls in the central position. So they sound best. Very bright and transparent and that although I did not have the best site in the kitchen (one is on a shelf, the other on a wall cupboard). Now for Bass: That may be enough for some, but the cleaning -or cooking orgy I need volume and bass! Right deep bass they do not provide, in such small enclosures no wonder (why only four stars). I've helped me with a small, active subwoofer from Heco. As I said, the whole can be divided into a kitchen set up not really good, but still sounds very good. I rate the boxes until now because, according to Dali, a break-in period of about 100 hours is to be planned. These 100 hours should also wait, the sound has become increasingly better with time. Addendum: even late at night when you have to make silent sound the Dai censor 1 very datailreich and well, even at low volumes, every detail can be heard even though the receiver is not the best (still good, the receiver), you need to know what you need and want to spend on it.
