Greetings all.
Yesterday, I took out from hiding my old Wharfedale Diamond 9.4s -- described by WHF as a "Plodding, unexciting listen" -- because my MAs are in the hospital with a case of baffle resonance. Despite their obvious flaws in clarity, accuracy and so forth, whichever music I play, I find that these ugly things really surprise me: no matter how hard they are pushed, they exude a sense of command and eagerness to "go" that I do not find as captivating in my Monitor Audios. Roxy Music's "Take a Chance with Me" seems more dominating and powerful, and one wants to sit back and simply enjoy the song.
These are not sophisticated loudpeakers, and suffer from what I would term "muddiness", but they do still entertain with their energy and fun character. Comparatived to the all-mature-and-grown-up MAs, these speakers can still party. They are plodding, yes, but not entirely unexciting.
