Last week, I found a pair of Wharfedale Dovedale 3 speakers for a price I was willing to take a chance on after reading a couple of reviews on them.
I brought them home and hooked them up to my Yamaha M-40 connected to a Sony TF-2000F pre-amp. After I got the polarity right (there are no indicators on what is positive or negative on the speaker connectors), all I can say is wow! These speakers take a lot to drive them, but the imaging and staging are bang on! My only complaint is that I would like them to have a little more low end, but from what I’ve read, that is normal with the Dovedale’s. I wonder if it is because the Bextreme surrounds on the woofers are getting stiff! Is there anything I can do to help loosen bextreme surrounds up if they start to stiffen?
I don’t understand why they get so little attention. These are really great speakers! The mids and highs are comparable to my Kef Concerto’s.
Does anybody have any experiences with the Wharfedale Dovedale 3’s? I would be interested in hearing your viewpoint, and also what kind of amplifier you were using to drive them.
