    Wharfedale Denton 1 - Restoration Help

    Hello all, I have recently had the fortune of inheriting a pair of Wharfedale Denton 1s from my dad. They are beautiful, albeit slightly neglected, speakers but sound pretty terrible, so I was hoping to replace the internals to make them usable. I am struggling at the first hurdle of opening...

    Ancient speaker connections

    Hello Friends, my son just picked up a pair of old Wharfdales. The tag on the back says, “Hong Kong” and the speaker connector looks like a jack plug. I’ll try to post a picture but I’ve never been successful getting one to stick… I know at least a few of you will know what the heck this is and...

    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. The original owner took out the 8 inch low mid and covered it in plywood. I have a Wharfedale replacement driver to install as well as stolen...

    New, small speakers for gallery space

    Hey all - question for a friend here. What would everyone recommend in terms of a smallish speaker for ceiling mounting in a gallery space? It has to be something available new, not vintage or second hand. Something relatively full sounding for a decent sized space (we're not expecting...

    Wharfedale E50 Worth Restoring?

    My latest acquisition - a pair of Wharfedale E50 speakers. Very dirty, but salvageable condition. I got them on the last day of the estate sale for 75% off the original price. I auditioned them last night after carrying the beasts downstairs. Everything sounded fine, but upon further...

    Dovedale w2 parts/advice

    I’ve recently acquired a pair of wharfdale dovedale w2 speakers.1 works perfectly but the other ones built in tone control seems to have a loose, temperamental connection. Where would I find a replacement control or is it possible to bypass it? Many thanks.

    Wharfie W70 Xover Project and the Case of the Mysterious Fiddly Bits

    Blame Mr. Biggles. All I needed were a pair of 8" drivers for my Wharfdale W70's, and maybe while I'm talking to a guy who knows I can get some advice on replacing the one measly 4mfd that filters output to the tweeter. That's ALL I NEEDED. But no, he goes over and above - gives me some NOS PIO...

    Speakers and tile floors

    This may be a weird question, but my wife and I are thinking of replacing the floors in our home. We are considering using tile, but I am worried that having my speakers in a room w all tile will make them boomy, bright, and fatiguing due to the reflective nature of the tiles. My speakers are...

    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)...

    Onkyo A-9010

    Any thoughts on this entry level amp? I currently use the Pioneer A-20. I have seen reviews of the Onkyo as being voiced as a "warm" British throwback. This sounds intriguing to me and might be a nice pairing with my Wharfedale Denton 80th speakers. Any thoughts welcome.
