dluddy Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 I have the Diamond 9.1 Wharfedale's and have been happy with them... I also have a set of Newton's from Cambridge Soundworks that are a good value http://www.cambridgesoundworks.com/store/c...p;item=c1m55zzz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

its_urabus Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 not to get caught up in the details of your system, but what are you going to be driving them with? and are you going to be using stands? Some of my favorites in no particular order are the Vienna Acousitcs Haydn, the Sonus Faber Concertino Domus, Boston Acoustic VRM60 and as you have listed above, the Wharfedale - Diamond 9.1. But there are so many I like... most of which you will hate. The only real advise I can share is this... take your discs/music player and camp out at a decent AD. Listen to EVERYTHING. Listen to good speakers, listen to bad ones. Listen to ones half your price point, and 3 times your price point. listen to the same song on over and over on each of the speakers you are thinking about. Get lost in the songs, and listen for the speaker. if it is the one for you, you will not hear the speaker, just the music. in the end, I would rather learn to dislike a prospective model at the store then get them home and hate them. I wish you the best of luck and let us know what you choose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stilty Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 I'll vouch for the Paradigms. I used to have a set of Atoms and Titans and they are great speakers. Currently we are running paradigms in the wall, and in the ceiling for rears. The only exposed speaker is a Paradigm CC-270 center channel.

Star69 Posted September 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 thanks a lot ! will try to check some of them out ... the problem is to find them here in Germany i don't like the sound of the usual suspects they show here (Canton, Heco, Magnat .... ) cheers, Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(limit is 400 Euro) thanks ! Frank Monitor Audio all the way in that price range.... Maybe something from B&W, but I think Monitor Audio's are better at that price.

Shundi Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 I've had good luck with B&W, Paradigms, Monitors, some Bose, and B&O's (gifts...and quite lucky to get them) I really like the Monitors though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephane Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 Ouch, this thread remind me I wanted to save $ to get myself a true Hi-Fi complete system like in the good old 70ies... With a nice turntable of course! I guess this hobby impeeches me to get one Unless I sell some watches of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takashi Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 For the money, you get a lot of bang for bucks on Wharfedale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
