The Official Wharfedale Speakers Thread!

[Travis]

Looking at Wharfedale Diamond 10.7. They seem to scream value.

What are they comparable to?

How would you guys compare the to the old B&W 683s?

I cannot justify spending $3K on Dynaudio Excites, Sonus Faber Veneres, or B&W CMs...no matter how much I want them, I cannot. Was time for a reality check.

Hoping the detail in these Wharfedales aren't just a sideways move. I enjoy my current bookshelves. These baby B&Ws sound great with classical and jazz. Want more detail and clearer dialogue. Looking at Wharfedale Diamond 10.CM. Sure this will be a nice step up from current center.

Travis, the 10.7's are an upgrade to your current B&W's. The will sound very good with jazz music. If you wanted to stay with bookshelves - you may want to investigate the Jade Series from Wharfedale.

Thanks.

Contemplating bookshelves, but kinda want to play some music without a sub. Jade 1 and C1 would work, though. Off to Taipei next weekend and already got the address of an authorized dealer.

I'm pretty stoked because the Diamonds are only a couple bucks more here than in the US. B&W is more than twice as much.

I have the Jade series, including the big beast of a center. They are huge and sound amazing

Indeed they are. Are you possible considering them?

Out of my price range. Considering Diamond 10.7 and 10.CM.

While auditioning Wharfedale Diamond 10, what else should I listen to?

Dali Zensor
Focal Chorus 700
Acoustic Energy 3 Series
And?

I watch movies way more than i listen to tunes. Need a great center. I really want a center that has the tweeter on a higher plane, not the traditional that I have.
