upgrade to wharfedale signature series...

[sandy42900]

hi,
the upgrade bug has bit me and i am confused, need help, have a very basic home theater set up (old rxv430 yamaha amp, wharfedale moviestar speakers),
getting a good deal on wharfedale evo30 signature series,and planning to go for marantz 5006 amp.trouble is very few people know about these speakers, so not many opinions.....getting them for about 1000$ for a pair..should i go ahead or look for other speakers...
thanx in advance.

I tend to take most reviews with a few grains of salt. I have some good speakers,
that only a few would know a lot about.
MusicDirect has a 30 day return policy - and less than $1000

The main difference is the cabinet finish - other than that, pretty much
the same.

apart from the price difference, do you think they are good speakers judging by the specs, i am also getting a good deal on the evo50 also, you think i should spend a little more (450$) and buy once and for all evo50, considering i am thinking of buying marantz 6006 amp?
thanx

It has been awhile since I have listened to a Wharfedale speaker.
The word on the EVO series is good. Also the word on them is, that
they slightly favor the warm side - and somewhat lacking in detail
and definition. I would go back and play your own music, to check
them out one more time - then make your final decision. Also, the
Marantz is a good receiver. Good Luck!
