Wharfedale Denton vs Diamond 225
All Diamond series speakers sounded a bit unrefined for some music while the Denton clearly sound musical in almost every genre of music, the only thing that the Denton lack is dynamic if go to extreme volume, I would strongly suggest to get the D... 
Time for Two Ways !
Wharfedale Denton, I'll wrap it up quick and fast in 3 factors: musical sound, heritage build, and affordable price! 
Please Critique my Setup and Recommend Upgrade(s)
Disjointed hmm, seem like loss of emotional connection to the sound, try British blood speakers, KEF worth consider, lots of choices, Harbeth, ProAc, or even more specific a LS3/5A design speakers, it just need clean power for fabulous sound, matc... 
Best speakers under $500? Fire away!
@itzhak1969 Can't say you are wrong, subjective from people to people, gear matching also play a part here, my experience with all metal tweeters so far is not very good, it may give you a little bit more or big nuance in air and clearness, but no... 
Best speakers under $500? Fire away!
@itzhak1969 It really can be confusing if you say that, having heard other speakers like Dynaudio, I dun think especially the Denton lose a lot, in terms of music resolution, if you want compare dynamic that's another story, you have to guide base... 
Best speakers under $500? Fire away!
Yes, all LS 3/5a style speakers need clean power amp, do not try ady warm signature amp like Marantz, not saying it's not working, just not the best 
Best speakers under $500? Fire away!
KEF LS50, Harbeth P3 need save not only a little more, it's 2 to 3 times, it's hard to beat the Wharfedale Denton, the romantic sound, heritage build, and fantastic price 
Thrift buy : Klipsch Reference 3
Got a pair of Klipsch RP-160m, it sound so neutral, flat, dynamic, which I think has some benefits and some shorcomings, for drum music perhaps need a little bit more softer, for treble it's a little bright senstive to some recordings or gears, an... 
Best female vocal recording on CD?
Another fresh track, pure evil demon voice and instruments:Sidsel Endresen - Traveling Still 
Best female vocal recording on CD?
Ok, I’ve come back with new discoveries, I think you need a female voice, a piano playing, and your ears to listen to these 2 songs to complete a story and journey on your own, note that the recording is not available on YouTube, you can try downl... 
Best female vocal recording on CD?
Too many choice you see, I'm busy exploring new voices hehe 
Best female vocal recording on CD?
There is no best female recording, it means you are willing to sacrifice some of other recordings if you look for best female recordings listed here? While I agree some of here listed are indeed "some" of the best, but it just impossible to list t... 
Wharfedale Denton 80th Anniversary
@chrisr Try again with Fostex HP-A3, Class D Audio SDS series power amp, Blue Jeans Canare 4S11, I’ve listened to the speakers for years, I found almost nothing to complain, you crank loud without sounding harsh, I mean unlike some speakers that s... 
My journey to search for standmount bookshelf speakers...
@4play May I know what amp you use to drive the speakers? As I read from review, the Focal Arial 906 is unforgiving to show flaws in recordings, so what music you listen to by the way? I find most speakers sound a bit noisy on this recording Adele... 
My journey to search for standmount bookshelf speakers...
@digsmithd yeah, both speakers need quite some power to sing, I believe ATC will need more? I've a look on the SCM10SE, without grill I think it's sexy in some ways, with grill it looks like a metal dustbin haha. May I ask one more thing about the...
