Wharfedale Diamond 9.0

[june]

hello all

any Wharfedale Diamond 9.0 owners out there? saw a pair for $100 in philly. want to run them with a yamaha rxv-657 receiver for 2 channel audio.

I don't know what the 9.0's sound like. But a friend of mine has Diamond 9.2's with Yamaha receiver. Nice combo. The Yamaha gives a robustness to the bass. The 9.0's have the same tweeter as the 9.2's, so you won't want to toe them in too much, or they may sound a little bright. But more straight ahead and the soundstage is huge and the highs non-fatiguing, detailed, and airy.

If possible see if you can bring your receiver with you to audition them and see if you like the sound. Yamaha also pairs nicely with Paradigm speakers which are often sold affordably too. I like the Wharfedale treble better, though.

Hope this helps.
