Wharfedale SW250 - have I bought myself a bargain?

[kingnothing83]

Hi,

Just bought one which is in perfect working order, with a couple of small marks on the front (which hopefully i can repair or cover up in some way, they looked very small) for £110 from ebay. The slight damage wont affect sound they say and it seems like a trustworthy source with plenty of feedback all 100%. Sounded like a bargain to me so i went for it to be part of a home cinema system i havent even bought yet!

Any thoughts on it? I was looking for a sw150 but this went for what looks like a great price and has extra options and a remote. This drives the bass downwards, is this likely to be more annoying to neighbours than a front facing sub? May have to be careful i knock the volume down 🙂

Also ive been offered this MonsterBass™ 400 Subwoofer Interconnect http://www.monstercable.com/productdisplay.asp?pin=1061 a 12ft one for £20 by the seller - is this a good way to hook up the sub? Worth taking?

Cheers

Simon

Bargain. If you aren't bothered by the damage who cares. You've just saved yourself £150!

Personally I dislike Monster because they constantly churn out lower grade cables for much money indeed. Try Chord Crimson, a cable with far more pedigree. Failing that Profigold cables will match Monster for less.

Great - yeah sounded like a good deal for me! Even if its a 100 mile round trip to pick it up!

Make sure you audition it first before paying for it. Long trip back if you get it home and find it's a clunker.
