    I heard these last year a the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest. Nothing at the show came close to their amazing sound or their beautiful design and finish. (The McIntosh speakers inside their display room were mind boggling but so was their size and price, so I'm leaving them out of the discussion.) I put a new system together a couple of years ago and while I have great sound, I would have bought these if they had been on the market. They are the real deal and Wharfedale should be proud of their new baby.

    Great show, great speakers, but... one Denon amp is not enough. Two good monoblocks by 2 x 100W... or even 4 (for total biamping)! Then tighten the seat-belts and fly...

    • @Tharbamar
      @Tharbamar  4 года назад +1

      Thanks, Base on your comment you have no idea about the amp, This amp can provide more current than many mono blocks, up to 60amp instantaneous current when is needed, it can drive Apogee Duettta Signature down to 25hz without a sweat, I have the measurements.

    • @draganantonijevic2441
      @draganantonijevic2441 4 года назад +2

      @@Tharbamar I like Denon products, from the first CD player back in... 1982 and pick-up MC cartridges, and Apogee speakers are difficult tusk indeed... My experience with monoblocks and biAmping just tells me that we should try this with the Elisyans as well. Cheers!

    • @Tharbamar
      @Tharbamar  4 года назад +1

      Just for your information, this amp is designed to have the same experience and drive power like POA-S1 mono blocks with Class A bias at low level which is clearly stated by the designer, people in the west never had highest quality Denon integrated amps like PMA-SX1 and SX-11 which is designed with unlimited budget because they’re changing the direction under different head designer.
      MOS-FET in this amp can handle twice the current than anyone ever used in amplifiers.
      I had pretty good runs with different amps including mono blocks, this one put many of them to shame when is come power and price to performance, thanks

    You did it again! One lucky bas..d ;) Congratulations on a purchase of another dream speakers set. I thought that Evo series is exceptional, but this one...my God. To be 100% honest - I envy you all this great equipment. Especially that we have similar tastes I think. Enjoy your new toy (piece of art really) and keep up good work! I have Tannoy Revolution XT8F as my main speakers. For home cinema fronts and rears I have Kef Q300's and Q100's. Q600 for center. Klipsch R-115SW is responsible for all the rumble. Also I have Tannoy Mercury 7.2, Mission 701, Mission LX-1 Arcam Muso II (crap), and a pair of very nice vintage Mordaunt Short MS 3.40. Yes - I am an addict and I am proud of it. The best hobby in the world !

    The only way you can call that a bookshelf speaker is if you have a bookshelf like the size of a Library of Congress is that a 10in woofer on the bottom and a 5 or 6 in mid-range in the middle that is no bookshelf speaker it is a full size floor speaker with a stand to bring it up it's not that is not a bookshelf speaker I have bookshelf speakers I have floor speakers I have Chuck gundlah speakers I have JBL monitors that are huge and those would probably Stack Up next to the JBL.

Look it up, you might just get a good laugh out of it. ;)... Thanks for the video, looks nice.
