The expectations to the ZENSOR 1’s are still high, and they fully meet the demands – the reviewers are “[…] greeted with a satisfying blend of weighty bass, clear, centrally placed vocals and a room-filling sound.” The memory of the ZENSOR 1’s performing like a well-oiled machine still stands very clear: “[…] the Dalis pride themselves on a spectacularly detailed, clear, well-balanced sound, the openness of which will suit most living room sizes.”
With “The Dark Knight Rises”, the ZENSOR 1’s provide a gracious sound of the instrumentals before conquering one with punch and power. Eminem’s “25 To Life” lets the speakers convey a great deal of vocal transparency, and especially with “Fields Of Gold” by Eva Cassidy, the ZENSOR 1’s “[…] wear their heart firmly on their sleeve, beautifully exposing the varying textures […]” of this ballad.
The ZENSOR 1’s are by anyone’s standards magnificent performers and still remains one of the best and highest-fliers in the very top of the budget speaker superstar list.
