I don't know about the Wharfedale 9.0, but from what I've seen the Pioneer SB22-LR has serious resonances in the highs and this can really hurt the ear for long periods of time, using EQ made it slightly more musical but only in a ''remedied'' way ', it still doesn't sound good, but each case is different, there are those who use them and like them and those people don't use them near-field and aren't as demanding in terms of refinement and naturalness of the sound, since it's a box cheap, with ''audiophile'' qualities but at the same time with characteristics that make it sound unhealthy for the most discerning and sensitive in fact, adding that to the fact that class d amps in general are dry and a little edgy, it's really bad ."...that tweeter is spitting hot fire above 12k."
I think that's about it too, but I see there's more at stake.Are we being too cheap?
I'm passionate about music and for months I've been away from the hobby and I've thought about giving up, my passion is sound but at the same time my ear begs me to stop, in an attempt to obtain a more refined sound I got to this situation that I hadn't foreseen for years ago, because even external sounds from neighbors and urban noises have caused pain in the ear, this has a lot to do with my ears that maybe need treatment too, of course, but I can't reduce everything to that, I believe there are components that sound musical , the question is whether it is worth the savings and spending on more expensive things, because something more expensive sometimes comes down to taste and more expensive does not always mean more refined for those with sensitive ears, for example.
