Gold Member Username: Jan_b_vigneDallas, TX Post Number: 9547 Registered: May-04 | . No, no, no, I just like the way the word "Wharfedale" sounds. It has nothing to do with the way the speakers produce music. Don't you think the word "Wharfedale" just sounds better than "Creek"? It's a bit like, "I own a Lambourghini and you own a Ford". Not enough syllables in the second to be impressive. . |

Gold Member Username: NuckPost Number: 5077 Registered: Dec-04 | Jan, Wharfedale has more than 3 letters. Last week you liked only 3 letter names. |

Gold Member Username: Jan_b_vigneDallas, TX Post Number: 9552 Registered: May-04 | . I did?! No, I think I said I only recommend things with three letters (other than the four letter word "tube"). I'm not saying I am recommending the ten letter "Wharfedale", I'm just saying I like the way the word sounds. I have to admit, however, I would recommend a Lambourghini to anyone. So, you see, I have no particular bias toward double digit words. "Creek" just happens to fall in between three letters and double digit letters words and, therefore, just doesn't float my dingy. "McIntosh" also falls in between the numeric Rubik's Cube but I like the way it sounds. I would, therefore, suggest the OP save up and buy some McIntosh speakers. He can then say he owns a pair of "Mac" speakers which gives him the perfection of three letters. Problem solved! Now on to the next thread, "How large does my piggy bank need to be to save enough to buy some Mac speakers?" . |

Gold Member Username: Frank_abelaBerkshire UK Post Number: 1778 Registered: Sep-04 | The EPOS M15s require good electronics to make them shine. The Wharfedales are unknown to me since they do not sell in the UK. EPOS were bought by Creek as a speaker division to go with their electronics. The Creek/EPOS combination is thoroughly enjoyable generally speaking. I have heard the EPOS speakers on the end of other systems too and generally they're an enjoyable fun solution, but they do need an amp with drive and powwer in order to give of their best, otherwise they can become tubby in the bass and slow up. Traditionally EPOSs are not that easy to drive too, hence the power recommendations. Regards, Frank. |

Gold Member Username: Frank_abelaBerkshire UK Post Number: 1786 Registered: Sep-04 | In the Diamond series, they don't sell the 9.5s, just the 9.0, .1, .2. As far as I know anyway...! Then we get the Evos etc. Regards, Frank. |

Bronze Member Username: Steve_gCharlotte, North Carolina United States Post Number: 15 Registered: Apr-06 | I currently own the Diamond 9.2 and have found this speaker to be a bit dull. I have heard the same about the 9.5. I will be upgrading to the Totem Hawk in about 15 days and I'll be able to tell you the difference. |
