Wharfedael OPUS 2

[Stu_n]

Hi

Interested in hearing from anyone who has heard the new Opus line from Wharfedale. My wife is making me change my speakers ( she has hated the way they look since I brought them home, and I just cant take the pressure LOL) I have Von Schweikert VR4 gen III, and love them but its not to be. She saw a pic of the Opus and thought they looked nice.

thnx

Stu,
I just got a set of the Opus 3s and love them... they are a very neutral sounding speaker and by far the best speaker I have heard in this price range. I use them 60% HT 40% music and they excel in both. But make sure you have enough power for them, I'm currently using a Yamaha RX-V2095 (rated at 100 WPC) to power mine and it’s not sufficient so I am power amp shopping.

I would say definitely jump on the Opus 2s... Check the prices at Audio Advisor.

Hello Stu. Hello Vivid.

I auditioned the Opus 2 during the summer and loved them. I agree with vivid, they need good, clean power to get the best out of them.

I can only suggest you audition them and hear them yourself. Only way to know if they are right for you.

I ordered my Opus 2 back in September (Glossy Black) and they should be in shortly. At the time that I ordered, the Glossy Black was only available as a special order. But they decided to start bringing them in for stock, right around the time I ordered. From what I understand the standard finishes for the Opus line (Maple, Rosewood and Piano Black) will all be the high gloss, from now on.

Stu_n,

Have you been able to audition the Wharfedale Opus speakers, yet?
