    Default Dali Zensor 3

    Good evening all,

    I have been looking to buy myself a pair of Dali Zensor 3s (after a myriad of glowing reviews and personal recommendations). However, availability is beginning to wain. Now...does anybody know whether Dali are going to replace the Zensor 3 anytime soon (next 3-4 months) or should I pull the trigger and hunt down and buy a new pair now? I need them in black.

    Thanks for any light members are able to shed on this. If you need a guide, I am basically going to mirror our fellow member 'Hypnotist's' set-up, with the speakers the last part of the puzzle. Comparable alternative suggestions (price, sound signature etc.) welcomed.

    Cheers everyone!

    £219 from exceptional av I'd just buy them, had the zensor 1s, good speakers, Dali are nice to deal with too, I mistakenly binned the little gel pads that go between speaker and stands, emailed Dali to ask where I could get more and they sent them for nowt, a small thing but they could have ignored me

    Bought the last pair from Richer Sounds (Leicester). Amazing speakers!! Only had them running in for 10 hours or so, but they are sublime. Now, quick question. I am currently using Soundstyle Z2 stands. Is it worth upgrading to Dali's own E600s or are there any other stands people could recommend please?

    Thanks

    Best stands I used were hifi racks, not cheap but good
