Wharfedale Aura 2 review by ErinsAudioCorner

Where so cheap?
Second hand?
No, new. They are cheaper in Europe. i checked a bit more and the price is ~1000 EUR and that is not even the lowest historically
Two points.
- "it is the power response, not the on-axis"; I didn't know that, as Dr. Toole in my understanding tells the contrary
- "a lot of recordings"; he is to change the balance of the record played?
Kind of funny, as the AMT might be chosen for its superiority in some aspect, but actually that is just and only the certain (odd) directivity and then after, exactly that property needs to be addressed with disecting on-axis from power at will. O/k, the tonal balance resulting from power is going to be altered by the individual room, as with every chamber concert, right? Neither switch here, nor there.
And finally the record industry needs to be corrected by speaker manufacturers. We might hope, that none of the studios is going to shape their product to match the speaker, as that would invalidate the effort on the latter side leading to a death spiral ;-)
Where.
Can you provide links.
Ah my bad. i mistook price per piece vs pair. But it is 9990 dkk per pair https://hifi-freaks.dk/products/wharfedale-aura-2

can get a pair of Aura 4 for ~2400EUR, new of course, and I will be lying if I say I'm not considering it
I'm caught between two stools right now. Aura 2 without stands locally for €1399, or Linton 85's with stands for similar price. Linton Superdooper not an option. Cannot audition at home. I'll use third party stands if I get the Aura, I'm not paying the price for their garish stands
Room is open plan. SWMBO requires hifi and TV at one end, space is 12' x 12', wall on 3 sides, you can see M20 speakers in the photo so this is the arrangement..
Can't have speakers more than 1' ish into room. Much as I prefer the aesthetics of the Linton, I'm thinking the Aura 2 would be the better choice. I like good accurate bass and midrange, not bright, good clarity, and ability to keep pace with complex music from Architect to Zappa. Listening will be mostly seated on sofa, music and cinema. Thoughts from the collective?
