Hi @ertorque,
I have both Dali and Dynaudio - HUGE fan of the Danish sound! Just like Santa's elves were born natural toymakers, the Danes are natural born speaker makers:) My main HT/music system I have Dynaudio Evokes with the 50's anchoring. I moved to Evoke from Excite. I have had the Excite 34's and then 38's previously. I honestly find the Evoke's more on the warmer side than Excite. Weirdly as I never ever thought I'd find anything Dynaudio on the bright side I found the Excite's to be leaning a bit that way. If at all possible I would recommend Evoke over Excite - sorry to throw that curve at you but this was my personal experience and I am just LOVING my Evokes.
I have the Dali Oberon 7's in my formal living room and I love them - very similar to Dynaudio, again that Danish sound that I love - airy, detailed, warm. I also have the Dali Zensor 5's in my bedroom. Same thing but not nearly as "full" sounding as the Oberon's...
I have never ever heard the AE's. But I found way back when when I started out that the Dynaudio sound was for me - same with Dali. Between the 2 I would choose the Dali Rubicon 6 over Excite 34 (I think you'll get a fuller sound as well with the Rubicon's). But I would choose Evoke over Rubicon. You cannot go wrong with either. But one thing, both speakers LOVE power the more clean power you give them the more you will be rewarded.
Btw, I am driving the Evokes with a Simaudio Titan and the Oberon's with a Parasound 2125 V2 - both have PLENTY of juice to get the most out of them..
Good luck and let us know what you end up doing...
