Hi macdon! Nice work on having you're Wharfedales resurrected! Do they really sound that much better than before? Completely new crossover and maybe wiring is it? Sorry, new in this forum and been looking around kasi for anyone who has done tweaks on their 9s and how they sound eh and this is the closest thing so far.
I have 2 pairs of Diamond 9s that are in great condition and sound good, but I'm still very interested to see how much better they can get by maybe tweaking a pair. Do you think it's a good idea?
How do i get in touch with Anthony if ever?
Even before i even knew Anthony - I've heard some members here had their Wharfes tweaked which they're still using till now.
I believe the weakest part of Wharfedale is within their tweeters - it lacks a bit of extension, which is probably why they sound dark/warm for my taste.
Anthony replaces the stock Wharfe tweeters with Velodyne silk tweeters and silk tweeters are the most natural sounding tweeters around. Velo tweeters even have a better magnet material than the stock ferrite magnet that the Wharfe uses. The Velo tweets definitely opens up the capabilities of the Wharfedales.
Now, since the Velo tweets have a higher extension, the stock crossover would have to be modified to maximize this extension properly. Anthony will replace some parts of the xover.
I just finished setting up my Dad's wharfes and he himself was amazed on the big change from before. He was even surprised how come the sound is coming from the tv & not the speakers themselves - thats those Velo tweets working for ya
Oh yeah - anthony makes speakers himself & has a long thread here in pdvd. He can make you a bookshelf for only 10k & it can rival any branded speakers in the market costing 2-3x
