I got these on sale for $300.00 a pair. They have a smooth sound with a detailed yet not harsh or ringing treble. I prefer these soft dome tweeters over aluminum and titanium. Bass goes deeper than bookshelf speakers and is fairly well controlled. I don't detect any boom. Mid-range is subdued. They reproduce jazz well. Instruments image well and sound stage is wide.

Strength:
Warm sound, yet detailed.
Weakness:
For $300 USD, very few.
Dealing with Wild West Electronics was great. I originally ordered the 9.2's, but they were out of stock. WWE gave me a selection of two other monitors plus the 9.4's to choose from, which is why I got them for 300.
Customer Service Dealling with Wild West Electronics was a pleasure. Would definitely do business with them again. Similar Products Used: Revel Concerta M12

Strength:
Accurate, full and controlled bass. Bring out the best in vocals.
Weakness:
Not many. I guess they don't sound as good for loud rock as some speakers, but they're not really meant for that anyway. This is the first truly decent pair of speakers I have owned. I run them with a Proton D540 integrated amp (oldie but goodie!) and so far don't have any complaints. In fact, I think they sound brilliant, overall. If you like to rock and like to rock hard, these might not be the best speakers for you. A lot of that is probably just the fact that these speakers can bring out flaws in a recording that sounded great on a crappier setup. The thing the wharfedales are meant to do is reproduce sound accurately. Vocals, classical and jazz sounds real. These speakers are clear and crisp, but not trebly. Also, the bass is tight and surprizingly full for being small 2-way speakers. I've heard that the 9.6's are supposed to be far superior, but then again theyr'e almost twice as expensive. If you are looking for a pair of speakers that sounds great, but you're not a hard-core audiophile type, I say look into the wharfedale 9.4s. In the end, it's best to listen to a bunch of speakers and buy the ones that sound the best for your money. Similar Products Used: Old pair of EV speakers that I rebuilt with new 3-way components. |
