curious about these Wharfes
would these be an upgrade over JBL LSR 305s?
the 305 is fine 
tends to get a bit shouty when played loud
bass quality is not so good
timbre, depth and texture are more than you could ask for $300 dollars a pairs monitors

Pair of wharfdale jade 3s on Audiogon for $650. Looks like a good deal. I think you want to go with a 3 way speaker for the kind of music you listen to.

yes, i saw those. rather damaged on the bottom of one speaker
do you think those are "better" than the Dentons?
especially for rawk?
classic-indie?

Never heard either one honestly. There’s just not a lot a lot of manufacturers making 3 way monitors that I know of. They measure well and get good reviews. I think for rock and faster bass heavy music it would definitely be a benefit having the dedicated mid driver.
