Wharefdale W70 First Edition (I think)
I lent these to my son and now they are back, with cat scratches on the grill. I have a few questions about these. I plan to use a Harmon Kardon 930 Refurbished completely with them, like when it was purchased with the speakers back in the day by my great uncle. 1) How can I remove the front... -

Wharfdale W70s Crossover Question
I am restoring a set of Wharfedale W70D Hong Kongs and was wondering if anyone could tell me if this is the original crossover or if it has been replaced.

Wharfedale W60E replacement woofers
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...- GiantPanda

DIY Open baffle conversion of W70 Wharfedales?
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... -
Wharfedale W70 open baffle conversion
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.

Advice, tips or tricks for fixing speaker corners and veneer replacement - early 60s cabinets
Hi All, I've recently started to tackle the cosmetics of some gear that I've electronically restored. Built a cabinet and plinth for my Fisher 500B and Dual 1229Q recently and now the Wharfedale W70s are the odd man out visually. I've redone the PIOs some time back and all the drivers work... -
Are you guys running your Wharfedale W70s at 4 ohms or 8 ohms?
Running a pair of w70s (original alnicos, bic) from a fisher 500b at 8 ohms currently. Can these be run at 4 ohms or will this damage my speakers or receiver? If they can be run at 4 ohms, any sonic benefits? Any help appreciated.- Sam08861

How'd I do? Just picked up a pair of Wharfdale W70s for $50.
So I ran across these in the local classifieds, for $50, and thought, how could I lose. I showed up and it was a college kid selling them out of his dorm room. He was running them on a crappy Sanyo receiver/turntable combo unit, so listening to them was less than optimal, but they seemed to be... -
Wharfedale/Tannoy DYI - Talk me in or out of it!
Hi guys! I've enjoyed my audio journey thus far, but am certainly in need of a change of speakers. When me and a good friend started the journey, our first real speakers were a set of Klipsch Tangent T200's for myself (I heavily improved the cabs, dampened the horn and upgraded the crossovers)...- CrawfishKing

Wharfedale W90s - How I Replaced My L-Pads
Good Day AKers, I have a very early pair of Wharfedale W90s from 1962. These have all AlNiCo drivers and dual ports. They also have 53 year old electronics! The W90s (and other "W" series Wharfedales) have attenuation dials on the rear of the speakers. In most cases (but I don't believe in...
