General Comments

I've read right through all the other reviews for these Wharfedale Diamond 8.3 Floorstanders speakers on this site...
One thing kept springing to my mind about the comments to do with poor bass etc..and I found from a pair I got only a few hours ago (used) that when I loaded the bases with sand and mounted them on their spikes facing a sweet spot from only a few feet away, they sound absolutely stunning for the price point..
I've just got rid of a pair of Mackie HR624 studio moniitors (active) that cost me 700GBP and I can honestly say that these are adequate in comparison... despite costing me £90GBP used! ;-)

I've had more speakers and Hifi's than I could even list over the last 20 odd years, and am also a musician for 25yrs and a music producer for 15yrs (this is not a CV I know, sorry laugh out loud) so I feel I DO know what I'm going on about here...

I'd say before you pass these speakers up, get someone who knows how to set these things up to place them and make sure they are nice and solidly set (weighted etc).

When I listened a/b test style to one set up and one straight out the box, I pointed the difference out to my wife and she noticed straight away the vast difference that it made.

I'm not taking these back and my lovely old B&O are staying in backup mode ;-)

Enjoy whatever you're using..
I listen to all kinds of music but am fond of any type of groove thats well produced.

Peace, rpug.
