5 out of 5 "Great speakers. Rich sound. Amazing quality."
Had these speakers since new, honestly without fault. Sound is amazing, although quite rich without eq tuning which some people might not like, but I love it. Only 2 main issues, the tweeter cones, over time, start to peel and become sticky, and are very difficult to put back if accidentally pushed in. Also, since they use regular copper speaker wire, they are quite sensitive when the cable isn't properly inserted, but that might just be for me. ... (Full Review)

3 out of 5 "evaluation"
Cet ampli Technics est ?tonnant, j'en poss?de un, jamais eu de soucis avec ! Manquant ? mon gout un peu de puissance avec ces 2 x60W (DIN), mais qui fonctionne encore parfaitement ! Voil? pour le positif Et en n?gatif : le bornier pour brancher les enceintes, vraiment pas top, alors qu'as l'?poque il existait des syst?mes bien meilleurs ! Je n'ai toujours pas compris le choix de la marque Technics ? l'?poque ! (1989/1990)

Translation: This Technics amp is amazing, I have one, never had any problems with it! Lacking a little power for my taste with these 2 x 60W (DIN), but which still works perfectly! That's for the positive And on the negative side: the terminal block for connecting the speakers, really not great, while at the time there were much better systems! I still don't understand the choice of the Technics brand at the time! (1989-1990) (Full Review)

4 out of 5 "Second second that"
Bought on a whim for 300 euros this year and the old review about "electrostatic tweeters". I have a pair of Quad ESL-988 and like the non-hifi treble. Replaced the xover caps with better ones. Lots of good bass down to about 30 Hz in my room and smooth treble, slightly boomy bass but tamed it with DSP. They're kind on the ears and non-fatiguing. If you're into APMs, check out soundoddity.com. (Full Review)

5 out of 5 "JPW Gold Monitor speakers"
I have both the Mini and Gold monitors. Sweet, warm and open sounding speakers great for small rooms. Bass notes are tuneful not bloated and enough weight, more than you can ask from the size of the drivers and cabinets really. I've used them with various amps, Pioneer A400, MF A1 and Jadis DA30 amps. They sounded best with the Jadis to my ears, pure class A tube sound. Of the two the Golds sound smoother at the top end. But the Jadis is pe... (Full Review)

Very clean sounding pair of speakers. I bought these used a year ago, to use as my music speakers in a setup which includes 2 Talk Electronics Tornado 3 monoblocks, running off a Marantz SR8002 AV amp as the pre-amp, with my surround speakers going through that (Ruark Prologue Ones, and Dialogue One as c speaker), I wasn't sure how good they would sound in comparison, but in music especially, they are very very good. The top end is so crisp and n... (Full Review)

The good performance of this monitor speakers, can put to shame new speakers in a same price. Small room like 11m2 are perfect. (Full Review)

Wharfedale Diamond 9.5

By: C Charles

4 out of 5 "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... (Full Review)

4 out of 5 "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.
