Hi all,
In addition to the HT I am putting together, I also wanted to add a pair of quality bookshelf speakers to my existing mini-system, a Denon UD-M50. I can get good deals now on either the Tannoy Mercury F2 or the Wharfedale Diamond 9.2.
In truth, I was all but set on the Tannoy until I started reading about the 9 series from Wharfedale, which according to many is simply an amazing line of speakers.
If anyone has insights into the 9.2's I'd love to hear it. I'm also a bit concerned if the Denon will have some trouble driving them. I know the Tannoy at 8ohm and 88db sensitivity should be fine, but the 9.2 is 6ohm with a sensitivity of 86db. Not sure exactly how much tougher that is to drive.
My Denon unit is highlighted in this PDF, at the bottom of page 1:

As you can see, it's usually sold with 6ohm speakers (pictured at the top of page 1), so maybe the 9.2s will be fine. I'm assuming they won't go as loud though.
Cheers.
