Wharfedale Diamond 9.5 |
By: C Charles
11 June 2024
"Great at the price, especially nowadays."
Solid construction, but vinyl finish options rather than real wood. Curved sides reduce standing waves. Floor spikes minimise vibrations.
Expect non-fatiguing highs, amiable mid-range especially if paired with a Sony STR-DN1080 or similar. Frequency range isn't low enough to replace a subwoofer, yet they do give enjoyable laid back bass - which kicks harder closer to the wall than the advised 30+cm if eq'd to minimise bass muddiness.
A clas...

Wharfedale CRS3 |

"exceptional stereo image"
I bought these for a small bedroom and mounted them on wall brackets with 150mm space behind. The stereo image is impressive. Plenty of everything. Having picked them up for a song I have been rewarded with a gift. Much more expensive and more recent speakers don't separate the double bass from the piano, guitar, sax and drums any better than these Wharfedales therefore I won't be parting with them.

"Often around for silly money"
Well worth checking 'usual used sites' online. A super sweet-sounding amplifier. It has nice clarity and is easy to listen to all day.

"sansui spx 9700"
ce sont des enceintes très de bonne qualité sonore et très puissantes, elles de la clarté de l'aigue et le médium sans être criardes, basse très forte et ne nécessitent pas d'un ampli très puissant pour faire sortir sa gueule car elles sont très sensibles, donc très facile à pousser. je les conseille aux audiophiles car de trouver de telle enceinte en bon état n'est pas facile!!!
Translation: These speakers are very good sound quality and very powerful, they have clarity of the treble and midrange without being shrill, very strong bass and do not require a very powerful amp to make its sound come out because they are very sensitive, therefore very easy to drive. I recommend them to audiophiles because finding such a speaker in good condition is not easy!!! (Full Review) |

"MS905C"
I also use these as stereo speakers. They are very very good. Just add some spikes or stands and you can use them in the vertical position. I was amazed!

"A rare talented smaller format speaker"
I found these for a bargain on eBay last year at a fraction of the new price and I'm really impressed.
I normally prefer the larger sound stage of my custom-built Wilmslow audio floor standing speakers, but this time I was only looking for something for a smaller room of 3metres by 4metres.
I've paired them with a Linn Sekrit DSM and Marantz CD6007 and I can genuinely hear the detail across a range of different material. It's a versatile s...

"Apparently these were used in bars in conjunction with a dukebox"
Rare find, was told these were sold to bars/pubs in Australia to use in conjunction with a jukebox, as surrounds.
Seems to me they have set up the "8 driver as more of a mid than a bass, also no wadding or foam anywhere internally,lining internal cavity completely with a thick heavy duty foam helped to add a bit of bass.
I used a subwoofer, normally if in use, I'd set at a frequency of around 80hz,
In this case setting sub to cut in at around...

Tannoy Oxford T125 |
By: Ben

"Amazing speakers"
Incredible speakers, the T125 Oxford are the only model from this serie used for monitoring...they sound incredibly good and natural and they are very well built...I match them with a monster receiver Technics SA700 from same era....2 x 100Watts RMS pure crisps...they can outclass so many modern speakers of above 1200$ and many very expensive famous vintage speakers also...If you find them in good shape, just don't miss them!!!

Sony SS-CSPZ50 |
By: Audio Guy

"Sony SS-CSPZ50"
They do sound quiet good for what they are, alot better than "BBC systems" but not Hi-Fi
Pretty flat response, lacks bass (50hz~ -3db close to a wall) and treble sloped downwards.
Would suggest putting close to a wall and turning the treble up 3-5db
Finish is nice, white woofers can get discoloured over time
Would suggest for a PC setup
From the Sony CMT-SPZ50

Translation: Incredible speakers, magnificent details in their entire range, much superior in current era systems and for their value, vastly better speaking of speakers that are around 1200 dollars. Tannoy T125 sound good even on vintage and modern home media amplifiers. (Full Review) |
