I found some speakers and have an order ready to ship ...

I'm considering for my Music 1st (home theater is 2nd) surround system ...

I'm going to run this (as a seperate system from my reference 2 channel audio) but still want musical

Denon 3803 (could go to 3805 but I'm wondering if it's worth the extra $400 I'd have to pay ... any feedback there is welcome).

The speakers I have ordered are as follows (so it's timely that I hear any meaningful feedback on these):

All models listed below can be seen at this site:
http://www.wharfedale.co.uk/range.php?range_id=3

Wharfedale Diamond 9.5 Three-Way Tower Speakers - Pair -- Silver -- Opened Box
SKU: WHARFDB9.5S $299.95
Regular Price: $900 Thier normal selling price $799.99

NOTE they look decent, the Diamond 9 series seems good, I'm generally pleased with Tannoy, Mordaunt Short, and such for 'mid fi musical sounding gear'

CENTER CHANNEL ... matching one ...
9CS Open box, silver $117.73 My Price
List $399.99 Their normal price $349.99

SUBWOOFER ... What Hi-Fi? Magazine "Subwoofer of the Year"

Wharfedale
SW150 150-Watt Powered Subwoofer -- Silver -- Opened Box
SKU: WHARFDBSW150S
$197.25 My price
List price $499.99 ... their normal price $449.00

??? They have another, same model, same color, same price ... should I be looking at two while this deal is available ???

While there certainly are other considerations, of the type I'm after, matched, running full range fronts and side/rear (for full effect and with DVD-A and SACD playback ... plus at this price why bother with small surrounds) if these are good speakers, this is certainly an attractive $$$ price if the quality is good.

I just don't find much on the web or in terms of reviews on these.

Any knowledgeable feedback would be appreciated (anyone with specific info on these please feel free to email me directly).

Thanks.

Wharfedale 9 series review

I spent considerable time at the recent CES show listening to the Wharfedale 9.5s along with speakers from about 100 other manufafturers. I loved the Wharfedales. I liked their sound better than all the others at the convention save the extremely high end and the Wharfedales even beat some of them. Great clarity, great frequency response. Excellent on both music and voice. I intend to buy them soon for my HT setup. Where did you find the 9.5s for $300?
