    Blown out Wharfedale Jade 5 crossover?! Need Help fixing it

    Yesterday, I bought a pair of used Wharfedale Jade 5 speakers, where, according to the seller, ‘one tweeter isn’t working.’ When I got home, I noticed that a midrange driver wasn’t working. I took it out and quickly realized it’s not defective. I then inspected the crossover in both speakers...

    Question Amp for Wharfedale Diamond 12.4

    Hi! I have the Wharfedale Diamond 12.4 speakers and old Yamaha Ax-892 amplifier. I'm not really satisfied with the Yamaha sound, it seems a bit flat in the mid range and too detailed at highs. I live in a region where you can't visit any hifi stores and listen various components and find your...

    Amp for Wharfedale Diamond 12.2

    Hello there all! I am planning to buy a pair of Wharfedale Diamond 12.2 speakers, and now I'm thinking about an amp to pair with them. I mostly listen to progressive and classic rock. Phono and digital inputs are welcome, but I'm willing to buy a dac or a preamp later on, so neither of those are...

    Question Buying my first Hi-Fi system - please help me decide from a shortlist.

    Hi There, My first post in the forums. For many years, I had been thinking of getting a decent Hi-Fi setup - and by decent I don't mean really high end audiophile grade stuff, but something that sounds better than my MacBook hooked up to my Bose QC 35II or AirPods or my Logitec external...

    Adding rear wall mounted surround speakers in a 7.1 avr

    I'm using the av receiver (Marantz NR1604) only with 5.1 channel connected, it's right to connect them in the surround back position or best to use normal surround considering that typically in a 5.1 home cinema they are in the side of the listener?

    Question Wharfedale Valdus 200

    I still have a vintage pair of these 100w (4-8 ohms) speakers purchased new around 1995. The cabinets are in excellent condition for their age, and the tweeters work fine, however I have just discovered that both the main bass drivers have perished outer surrounds which cushion the cones (see...

    50+ Hrs. Club: Wharfedale Diamond 12

    Simply, of my feedback to KHF (he was part of the engineering team), his reply: Indeed, the initial hours of listening to, new-out-of-the-box, 12.1 were rough… Then, say, after eight hours, the-promise-of-it (from professional reviews and everyday consumers) was taking shape. I wish...

    New speakers?

    Hi all. I recently upgraded to a Rega Elicit-R amp with Apple Music streamed over Wi-fi via an Apple Airport Express. No CD player, occasional use of a turntable. Chord cables and interconnects but an old pair of Maudant Short 916i floorstanding speakers. I don’t mind the sound from the...

    Hey guys, I am the proud owner of the Audiolab 6000a amp, and Monitor Audio Bronze 2 bookshelf speakers. When the set up was in a small room, it was great! I recently got married, and my new wife and I have moved into a new place, and now the set up is in a much larger room, with wooden...
