Just read this from someone who bought the new 220 speakers (on amazon.co.uk) ;
"Sadly Wharfedale's quality control is still not living up to what they should be. One of the speakers is slightly off-set on its base, this is noticeable when you are close to the speaker and I have to say the alignment of the second speaker's base isn't perfect either.
The front panel on one of the speakers is also not aligned perfectly"
I thought the quality was better this time than with the 121 speakers. Someone here got the 220 speakers already ?
