Hello guys,
Firstly, excuse me for any language mistakes as I am not a native speaker. Wanted to post here as I am facing a tough decision choosing between floorstanding speakers Dali Zensor 5 and 7. Have read all the threads in forums found in Google but still cannot decide.
I am starting with the fact that one year ago I had both models in my apartment for a couple of days /could not attempt to wait for the burning in of the speakers to happen/. With the 5 I went with the impression that it's a little bass and volume/spaciness lacking and the 7 too overwhelming for my room. Long story short, I have now purchased the 5 and they are connected to a Pioneer A-10-K amplifier /2 x 50 Watt (20-20.000 Hz, 4 Ohm)/. As in the country where I am from there is a 14-day period during which I can return them or exchange for another model, I am now relying on the burning in period of the speakers and awaiting if the sound will become more fuller. As that's not much time, it is difficult to make the decision if I should return them and get the 7s /which I suppose will have to turn the bass down if I want them to sound a little smaller/.
They are placed in an open floor plan /kitchen and living room in one/ which is about 33 sq meters. The listening area is about half that /around 15-16 sq meters/ and the speakers are set on the right side of the long wall /the living room/ in a triangle with the listening position /the listener is around 3 meters from them/.
For movies I feel they are ok but with the music I am not so sure /I will mostly use them for music/ and always wondering if I am missing something. The amp was bought new and at the moment I can't stretch my budget for a more powerful one. Music is played mostly by Spotify and You Tube via smart TV and AUX port of the amp /so I am not that much into audiophile quality even if I sometimes want a great sound/.
Should I really rely on the burning in period or I should make the decision to get the 7s? There are not many of the commercial brands in my country /such as B&W, Klipsch and so on/ so I have really wanted to stop on Dali and their Zensor serie.
Can I add a sub to the 5s and connect it to the stereo amp? Will it be better sounding than Zensor 7 alone?
Thanks in advance for your advises!
