Such an engaging presentation style. Tarun comes across as a thoroughly nice chap who I would be very pleased to have a pint with.

Thanks again, Tarun, for your great channel and knowledgeable, confident reviews <br><br>As you mentioned, the Opticon is very open in its depth, transforming the genres of opera and classical into a work of art from the Renaissance era in Italy. I chose two tracks to test any system: one is My Heart Will Go On by Celine Dion, and the other is O soave fanciulla by Anna Netrebko from La Bohème opera composed by Puccini. <br><br><br>Kind regards

Just purchased a pair of Monitor Audio Silver 100 7G, love them. You notice that base response immediately.

Thank you good sir for this review. I purchased the monitors for my son’s Xmas present. I swapped them into my office for audition before he returns to Uni. Superb speakers, destroyed my old tannoys 632 & newer paradigm studio ref 20 v5. Detail is engaging without fatigue and the bass plumbs the deeps more effortless than my other bookshelf. For the price I’m amazed and currently only cost 1350 AUD. Thanks for the idea on the bridging plate too ❤

You are truly gifted, I mean that sincerely. Trying to describe tonality differences to a viewer is difficult enough that they might understand it but they way you articulate the details of each speaker making distinctions that most people would never perceive can only be described as a gift. I's like to see a review on the Audio Note AN-J or K speakers. I heard a setup with AN-E's in Arizona on vacation and to say I was a bit shocked is pretty honest. They sound utterly amazing.

Still surprised that the Opticon MK2 haven’t received much attention/coverage from reviewers since their release a few years ago. Kudos on you for covering them in this review. My journey into hifi started with the Oberon 1 and while I have since moved on to experience many other brands, I still have a soft spot for DALI speakers so I’m glad to see the torch carried for their arguable sweet spot of the range.

Thanks Tarun for this very nice and informative review. I have the AE500s combined with the wonderful Audiolab 6000A and I must say that although being partially deaf, the clarity in the treble and mid range of these speakers helps me hear music and the spoken voice ever so well. These audio treasures are truly something.
