| Wharfdale are not all that much cop most of the time. Ive not heard those ones but on the whole they're not much good. From Richers, try these instead. http://www.richersounds.co.uk/showpr...d=KEF-CRESTA10    Agent = Hardware Homosapien | Zak33 = Hardware Homonid - just call me "Lucy" |

| Hi If you are keeping the system setup like this for a while it would be worth putting 3 pea size blobs of bluetac under each speaker it stops vibration & also helps isolate the speakers a little. Also it would be worthwhile putting the amp on a hard surface not on the carpet one of the reasons being cooling they get rather hot on the bottom and being on the carpet won't let the heat dissipate. You may find the sound improves if you do both of the above of course dedicated stands & equipment racks would be best but for now & for free this should help. Digitizer......... |
