Wharfdale Opinions

[Dinsdale]

Everytime I browse Amazon.com for this or that, I can't help notice the
ever-changing line Wharfdale lineup in the Electronics category.

I'm not usually one to purchase audio equipment online, but I wonder if
anyone has opinions on this line of speaker.

Price-to-performance wise, what do you think of these speakers?

Wharfedale Diamond 8.2 70th-Year Anniversary Speakers (Rosewood)

For $379.00, a two-way, vented speaker with a 6.5" woofer?

Your opinions are appreciated.

What's unusual is how some models don't last long on the site, and are
discontinued.

Thanks!

I owned a pair of their Valdus 500SE's for about 4 months, great bass, muddy
mids, average highs, but over all for the $250 I paid delivered they were
adequate. I only upgraded when I found a pair of Ohm Walsh1's at a flea
market for $35, MINT condition. Their Diamond series has reviewed well,
check out epinions.com and especially audioreview.com for real world
reviews. Ubid.com also quite often sells their stuff. I currently use
their Valdus Center channel and it dominates my neighbor's high dollar
infinity speaker.

Here in the Uk, Wharfedale are regarded as fairly average. There are
other brands such as Mission ,Tannoy Kef, BW,Castle,Neat Petite and
Monitor Audio that would deliver better results
