Upgrade Suggestions - Entry Level Setup

Dahli makes a very fine speaker, and one of your absolute best moves would be to upgrade within the Dahli brand. 

That is as straight and efficacious advice as you will see here.  :) 

as a long time Dali owner I was going to say same as Douglas...

To be honest, I don't even know what I want changed. Just feels like something's missing or could be better. lol

Indeed.
You can lead a horse to water. But you can't make him think.

Djones51, oh wow, that’s good to know.  I guess I’m gonna order them off amazon and try them out for myself. Thanks a lot for the recommendations.  Not crazy expensive either.

Douglas and Jl35,
Which Dali speakers and what electronics do you use with them?  Just so you know, I first tried the opticon 2, ended up being too big for my room. Oberon 1 was reviewed well and was cheaper, so went for it.  Perhaps the opticon 1 ? Don’t think there’s a rubicon 1 in the line up. Yes, I think I’ve become a fan of the Dali sound. 

phras, I have not owned Dahli, but have heard them several times at shows, and been close a couple of times to requesting a review. Your response regarding the slightly� larger bookshelf makes me think that you may enjoy moving into a nice headphone setup as an alternative. When you feel that a more diminutive bookshelf is already overloading your room, then headphones would be a well-considered option. 

In terms of electronics, the sky is the limit. No one can tell you which of the plethora of options would be better. Only� direct comparison ma�y help, and personal opinion and preferences come into play even at that. 
A demo with return option is a good way to go.
