Hey All,
Hope you are are safe during these troubling times. I have a Kenwood KR 6050, and I'm looking at getting a pair of Wharfedale w45's. I'm intrigued by the wharfedale sound...but am concerned that I may drive them to hard with my Kenwood. It isn't a monster, obviously, but it does put...
I’m looking at these W70s on CL. They’re 2 hrs away, so I was hoping to get a couple questions answered. The grill cloth has been removed so the drivers are visible, and I was wondering, can you tell by looking if they’re original?
I have inherited a pair of Wharfedale Triton 3 speakers with broken woofers - otherwise the speakers incl. cabinets are in fine shape. All other elements work. I assume the woofers have been blown by previous owner's habit of listening dancehall and dub on loud volume.
I contacted Wharfedale...
NAD 3020 amp
NAD 4020 tuner
Majority Robinson DAB/FM/Internet tuner
NAD C516BEE CD player
NAD HP50 headphones
JVC SPE300 speakers (x4 in a dynaquad arrangement)
Wharfedale SW150 subwoofer.
(and a Murphy A92 all-band radio from 1940)
I picked these up at a local Goodwill a while back bundled with some stands. I really only wanted the stands, so the speakers were basically included at no cost. When searching for foam for them, I did not find much of anything about them. The ones I have do not look like any I see referenced...

So I have these old Wharfedale speakers and wanted to know more about them, couldn't find any model markings on the speakers themselves, probably because the casing was pretty beaten up and worn.
I looked online for an hour and couldn't...
Dear all,
Thought I'd "show off" the system I've put together since my last post, about 18 months ago. The system has grown and improved quite a bit since then:
It's made out of:
Denon AVR-X4000
Denon PMA-2020AE integrated (always powering fronts, it has a "power direct" feature)
Denon...
Inherited a pair of old Wharfedale W70s (from ca. 1961) that have been refurbished. I was thinking of driving them with tubes but I’m wary of the hazards of a really old amp. Stumbled on the Jolida while searching around online, and I’m intrigued. Anyone have opinions on this amp, and/or on...
Picked this up today. 25 bucks. Jensen tweeter..I'll stiffin the cabinet. Through some stain to her and see how she sounds..was all in pieces..just putting together..more to follow.. suggest mono amp anyone..cheap of coarse.
Has anyone heard or seen a review of the new flagship integrated amplifier from Cambridge Audio? It is called the Edge A and it is beautiful looking for sure. Just wondering of anyone has heard one yet.
I have a slim window of opportunity to pickup a set of Dovedale III speakers for $50. From what I can tell they seem to be in good overall shape, cabinets are a little beat up, nothing I can't fix. Assuming that when I go over them a bit better, how's that price sitting with you all?
I don't...
Finally finished an important stage of my journey towards music absolution...

Hi All,
Just picked up a set of these for $40 knowing the woofers were "blown". Turns out they arent, but have some odd replacements. One is a weird covered GE woofer hacked in (thankfully without cutting the cab) and the other looks like another model Wharf full range. Anyway, both have to go...
I believe I am done shaking the tree -- pretty happy with this. The Wharfedale speakers and McIntosh MR88 were the final pieces. Using only an indoor antenna -- can receive the stations that matter. With Internet tuner, 10 bazillion cds, and streaming services, I am set for life, so to speak.
Dear AKers,
I have a pretty good system (IMHO), with a pretty bad power amp.
I have always been told that metal domes need careful system matching, and therefore I am here to seek opinions.
I will leave my surround setup be, at the moment, and just speak of my stereo system:
CD/BD/SACD...
I am about to sell my Sansui G-22,000 for financial matters, a shame! Now I'm looking for an amplifier and pre, an integrated or even a receiver, as long as it's vintage (70's 80's) but that has punchy and full bass and that is detailed as my sansui. Some options I have here in Brazil:
1-...
Hey chaps,
This is not my first system post, but I have done some tweaks, so I will pause the audio hype for a while :)
In short, what I have is:
Emotiva XSP-1 Gen2
Emotiva BasX A300
Marantz SR5011
Marantz UD7007
Marantz NA6005
Wharfedale Jade 7 and Jade 3 and Jade C1

I have a pair of these Wharfedale Airedale model speakers in which I've never seen before, nor has my other vintage electronic collector friends has, can anyone tell me about these and price??? Maybe priceless
I've posted the below in the British Audio section, so apologies for those that have seen this twice...
I've got a Wharfedale 60D Mark II pair that are acoustic suspension and I've been very happy with them. Good crisp response and enough bass and clean highs.
I also have a pair of very early...
I've got a Wharfedale 60D Mark II pair that are acoustic suspension and I've been very happy with them. Good crisp response and enough bass and clean highs.
I also have a pair of very early all alnico W70s that are ported. While these sound pretty good, with complex music having multiple bass...
Hi guys,
Although I had already posted a thread about my Jade 3s, I feel like a new thread is needed for this REVELATION I just got:
My Wharfedale Jade 7s have just shipped! Alongside my Wharfedale Jade C1! :)
The Jade 3s have instantly become surround speakers.
I had NO idea what I was...
Hey I I have a chance to pick up a pair of ealry edition Wharfedale w90s for about $400 this weekend and I have to make a decision fast. I'm currently running Altec 890c Bolero horn speakers with a scott LK 72 tube amp (35wpc)...is this a worthy upgrade in anyone's opinion? I know that the...
Does anyone know when the BR/3 tweeter was introduced? I know there was a "Midget" introduced in the late 40's for a few years and was replaced by the venerable Super 3. The Midget also had a square magnet. These BR/3 units have a square red magnet that is not quite as strong as that of the...
Hopefully, Gang-Twanger or other Wharfaholics can clue me in on the various W-90 versions.
I see several different cabinet versions, and 2 different back panel types.
I know that Wharfedale had 2 different speaker versions over the years. with red alnico magnet
or a ceramic magnet.
Do the...
