Nobody can agree on sound but even besides RUclips compression, I doubt many people are listening to this on reference level thousand dollar headphones via reference DAC and amp.
The dovedale chassis are slower and clunkier than the hard foam sandwich chassis. The LEAK Sandwich sounded already in 1967 very "modern" - than means fast, non distorting, neutral but still on the warm side giving a very full sound with plenty of texture.
I would not say these sound warm. The have a clarity, crispness and dryness to counter the fluffy, slow and unmusical sound that the sister brand Wharfedale goes for
These are not aluminium speakers, they are hard foam speakers aka "Sandwich". The Aluminium is only to carry the hard foam and could even be removed. That would look ugly though.
Sounds harsh and without clarity. Bass is bad. Highs are.. are not. Worse than Wharfedale Linton. They somehow also manage to look cheaper than Lintons. Sound impressions are based on this demo alone.

And everyone ignores RUclips compression, how they were recorded, the lack of time for the speakers to break in 😂😂😂
Why the drivers didn.t use flat screw?
Sounds bright!
The speaker chassis are fast. The do not produce bass where there is non. With a Sugden A21 SE or Tube amp they sound glorious.
I think so too, but in another video that i heard them, they sounded perfect!!!!!!
Zeus would disagree with the opinion that Aluminum speakers don’t or can’t sound good
In your opinion…. All aluminium?
They are hard foam speakers. Aluminium is only a thin layer to place the hard foam on -> Sandwich
Nothing special I didn't like it however looks nice without the grill that's all.
how do they sound vs dovedale?
Am guessing Dovedale’s are “darker” and more rolled back, I would actually want to see a comparison of the Atalante 5s or KLH Model 7s

A little on the warm side for me, but very nice finish!
