Monitor Audio Silver 2 vs Dali Zensor 3

As both are rear ported and the impedance/sensitivity specs are nearly identical, the choice is easy.

Pick the one that sounds best to you!

Yea, but I can not test either locally... Perhaps the Silver 2, but no one carries the Dali locally

Too bad you can't listen to them first.

Again, both are rear ported and the impedance/sensitivity are nearly identical.  So if must choose without an audition, might as well take a chance and go with the MA Silver S.  It has a bigger mid/bass driver at 8" and goes down to 40Hz.  The Dali has a 7" and goes down to 50Hz. 


Of course this is still no guarantee on how they would actually sound to you.  Good luck.

go see if the Silver 2 knocks you out when you hear it...Dali makes great stuff, love the Zensor 1, awesome bargain and sounded good near wall despite the port...

This really depends on the sound your after.Silver 2 is all metal drivers & IMO can be forward sounding.The Dali is wood pulp & fabric tweeter.IMO a more musical approach.Not laid back,just right.Detailed without being analytical ,rich midrange & very good bass.They also play BIG & in a small/med.room can really move some air.
