Did you pick any speakers yet? As I mentioned the Wharfdale Diamond 10.1 would be a good choice on sale at Music Direct for $175- a pair! only go for the 10.1 - not some other model. - Magic in the bottle is hard to come by.
"With every recording I played, the Wharfedale's sounded clean, extended, detailed and pristine. Wharfedale has a winner in the Diamond 10.1. In today's market of stiff competition among affordable loudspeakers, the 10.1 presents extraordinary value for the money, with many strengths that suggest a considerably higher price and no considerable weaknesses!"
- Robert Reina, Stereophile
"...with speakers as willing as these you'll want to crank the volume and feel the music's power. Bass was surprisingly deep, so there's no need to add a subwoofer...I had to stop and remind myself over and over again, this is a $350 speaker; it sounds like double that very reasonable [price]."
- Steve Guttenberg, CNet
"The measured performance of Wharfedale's Diamond 10.1 would be superb even if the speaker did not cost just $350/pair. But then, its designer, Peter Comeau, is one of the UK's senior speaker designers; I would have expected from him no less."
- John Atkinson, Stereophile Editor-in-Chief
"[The 10.1s] flooded my listening room with pure emotional intensity so rich and sumptuous I could cry, I realized the Wharfedales weren't performing only as great jazz speakers, but also as emotional conductors!"
- Stephen Mejias, Stereophile, Recommended Product Review
"Such was our admiration for these Wharfedale bookshelf speakers that we gave them a What Hi-Fi? Product of the Year award...arguably Wharfedale's best budget speaker yet...we are huge fans!"
