Wharfedale 9.6
Good and clean bass extension; better and controlled highs; open, airiness to the sound with great focus and smoothness that matched well with iceman’s 6550 PP amp (50Watt). When shifted to akyat’s Duntonic 6V6 amp (10Watt), the sound becomes dull; it is not aggressive as before (might be due to speaker sensitivity).
DALI Concept 6
Very detailed and musical. I was amazed at how the instruments reproduced on classical LPs, as you can feel the weight of the notes (may “diin” according to fellow member), driving by akyat’s 6V6 amp. My experience with concept6 is like I’m listening to a SET tube amp.
Downside is when shifted to digital front-end, I find it harsh in the highs when played Audiophile Voices-I which i attribute it to low break in hours.
I believe both of them are good and have their own sonic character, careful matching of gears contributes a big part of high performance in the whole audio chain
