Monitor Audio Silver 2 vs Dali Zensor 3

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.

About 3 or 4 years ago I auditioned the Dali Zensor 1 and Mentor Menuet at the dealers and bought the Mentor Menuets. I do not have experience with Monitor Audio but can attest to the musical sound of the Dali Zensor series. The sound quality of the Dali Zensor is quite stellar for the price. Open and detailed but not lean or bright, the sound is just right.

Another plus point is the dark brown-colored wood fibre cone is quite attractive and elegant. Of course, it's the sound that matters in the end.

Yea, thank you all for the opinions.

the fact that the MA Silver 2 is more expensive but the same price for me is an issue. TBH the Dali attracts me more...

another option would be Amphion Helium 1 or Ion speakers.. this brand is so hyped on pro audio forums I feel like trying them too

...i listened both of speakers many many times...forget the specs and materials...Zensor 3 are great speaker in their price range but Silver 2 is just 2 classes up...its better in everything...resolution, details, bigger soundstage, better box and terminals, more powerful bass, cleaner sounding...you name it...i would go for Silvers in a heartbeat...just take them and run in unknown direction...you will get the sound depending from the rest of your chain but Dali can sound sterile if you dont match it right....avoid Arcam amps with Dali...NAD BEE series will be good for Dali Zensor 3 and Silver 2...
