    What is the best choice?

    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-...

    Wharfedale BR/3 Mystery Tweeter

    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...

    Wharfedale 200 Diamond vs ELAC Uni-fi

    Hi Guys I've been looking into speaker upgrade for under 1500 bucks. Mostly floor standing. I find lots of talking for ELAC and B&W 680s on the forums as one the best speakers for the money. But not much about Wharfedale Diamond 200 (230, 240 and 250). They all are European brands, with ELAC...

    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...

    Audio Frequencies Causing Tinnitus

    Afternoon all, Since I am surrounded by experienced audio lovers, I had a question I hoped you could help me with. As someone who's listened avidly to music for 40+ years, and who has gotten more serious about gear over the last few years, my question is if anyone else experiences tinnitus...

    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.
  16. C_Little

    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 Super 60 Crossover Question

    I found a pair of Wharfedale Super 60s in passable shape last weekend. All of the drivers are in working order but at least 2 of the 4 l-pads are sketchy and will need to be replaced. But the l-pads are marked 15 ohm and I can't find any 15 ohm l-pads anywhere. Will it make a huge difference...
