when i was looking for a speaker to pair with a yammy avr before yan din ang hinahanap ko "all rounder".....pwede pang ht pwedeng pang audio. after asking around and numerous hours of auditioning, i got the ma b4 coz it is also within my budget. after more than a year, i tried the wharfs 9.6 mainly because of it's value and different flavor compared to the ma b4. i used the the wharf 9.6 more on audio and very seldom on ht.
both have their own character and trademark sound. wharf on th warm side and ma-a little bit on the bright side. hands down i prefer the ma for ht coz of clarity and detail, base can really dig deep and easier to drive compared to the wharfs. for audio naman, it will boil down to what music you listen to and preference. home audition mo na lang if possible so you will be able to know how it will sound in your room.
hope i was able to help.
