I've been using Wharfedale Diamond 9.0s as computer speakers for a couple of years now and "strange aggressive highs" describes them very well! (I gotta change them... but I don't listen much on the computer anyway... ) The KEF LSX II LT speakers are on Black Friday discount... I'd suggest trying them... KEF LSX I are my main speakers, just right for TV and general medium level music listening in my small living room.Today I tried the Wharfedale Diamond 12.0, unfortunately I sent them back. In my room of 16 m2, the speaker did not have much resolution, which I think is due to the plastic cone, and I was quite surprised by such strange aggressive highs...
At present, it's the integrity of the known engineering and measuring tools available to "determine" a measured performance "difference" versus a very complicated, exhaustive and expensive subject test evaluating the averaged sensitivity of humans to detect an audible perfomance "difference" of a particular system change using appropriate controls and adequate replication. Those are our current options, and neither qualifies as "science", as in the "tools" currently available to attempt to discern a difference between one piece of gear and another don't advance the frontiers of knowledge, but rather might be applied to determine whether one incremental design solution or improvement works better in a particular application on a consumer product. Hardly the stuff of Nobel Prizes.It is not the money, it is the integrity of the science.
What about 12.2 or EVO 4.1?maybe diamond 12.1. it's a good speaker
12.2 are also good. If they are not too big for surround speakers. I have not heard EVO 4.112.2
Thank You!12.2 are also good. If they are not too big for surround speakers. I have not heard EVO 4.1
Just bought EVO 4.112.2 are also good. If they are not too big for surround speakers. I have not heard EVO 4.1
I have more or less the same question as @vadampI have a pair of Diamonds 12.3 connected to a relatively old Onkyo surround receiver (I use it for stereo only). Do you think that WiiM Amp would make a significant difference in sound compared to Onkyo? Or should I leave the Onkyo and just add WiiM Pro Plus as a streamer? Thank you for your proposals.
Just measured mine and I get right about Five inches.I just measured my Wharfedale 12.1 speakers and the woofer is only 4.5" or 110mm is this normal?
They state the woofer is 5" or 130 mm
Do what your ears tell you to...I have the Diamond 12.2 speakers. When i run room correction on my Wiim amp it shows a big spike up to 20db at 8khz. Different phones give the same results. Weird thing is i don't hear it, sounds great to me. If I allow the room correction to 'correct' that high it sounds terrible, extremely muffled.
No reasonable loudspeaker has a 20 dB spike so low, so its obviously a measurement problem/artefact and you did the right thing of listening and choosing to ignore it.I have the Diamond 12.2 speakers.
