nice speaker bro, i've known from my friends about that speaker has superb performance, but more expensive than wharfedale, what amplifier you use for your wharfedale, each type of speaker performance depends on the amplifier, wires, and players. i have learned that european speakers were made for natural sound output, that's why i bought a yamaha amplifier rxv 457 6.1, coz yamaha are known as natural sound, and yes it satisfied my taste, wharfedale and yamaha did work great, that's what i hved experienced, but remember bro that each person has different kind of preference when it come's to sound, great sounds is in the ears of the beholder...hehehehe..but honestly.. i like the sound of b&w, i just cant afford that much of price just for the sound system, even though im an audio addict, hehehe,
