Yeah. I always thought the Diamond 10 series was gorgeous. I wonder what happened they had to cut corners on this new series, but it is said the 100 series employs better driver technology.

Update guys! We just came from the listening room andjust finished setting up. Well, guess what. I brought my pioneer receiver there and plugged the wharfedale 155 then the polk audio tsx330 and we compared our favorite cd from fiona apple and the wharfedale 155 sounded very warm on my amp and sa polk eh masyado bright napagod ears namin after playing a couple of tracks. Sabi ni thoby (salesaman dun) that he was impressed sa receiver ko kasi labas na agad tunog eh nasa 8 o'clock palang yung volume knob and told me they wouldnt bother offering me the nad 326bee (fresh from delivery), kasi una pagdating namin while waiting for the 155 to arrive from the bodega eh they keep on telling me na maganda daw sa music ang naka integrated ampli and sakto meron silang nad na kakadating lang, tapos other salesmen there kept talking and peeping the internals with praises na tipong, pare japan pa gumawa nito at ang lalaki ng laman. So ayun. Sobrang natuwa kami that i have a perfect combo. Very warm sounding indeed. We also got a headphone stand there na naka varnish na yung brand is FIIO for 800 ata yun

No subwoofer bro since swabe na ang nya and im much into music kaya a stereo setup is perfect basta you have a powerful amp like mine then it would do the job lalabas agad ang tunog.

They have 6.5mm woofers and 25mm tweeters. Model is 155. Very warm speakers and outstanding build quality! Superb bass too. Ewan ko ba kung ano yung sinasabi ng watthifi sa reviews nila haha.

Siguro inayos na ng wharedale sa mga bagong batch yung finish nila. The recent 9 and 10 series had very nice fiinish to them. The Wharfedale Jade series has really good finishes too.
