    Wharfedale W4 4 way corner speakers

    Hi, Skodajag! I wholeheartily agree with Robert: these are well worth restoring. I have a pair as my main speakers, and I simply adore them.

    Wharfedale W4

    Hi, all. I recently aquired an unmatched pair of Wharfedale W4: one with a front bass port and closed back and one with opening grills inn the back. The latter is working perfectly, in fact it plays so utterly gorgeous that I threw out my other speakers and rearranged the living room to play...
