Wharfedale diamond 225’s imo are worth three times the asking price, they sound wonderful to my ears. Stereophie also agrees, as it won budget component of the year in 2017....I like them so much I hardly use my spendor and harbeths believe it or not.....I own two pairs of the 225’s in walnut and rosewood....beautiful. No need to spend thousands to get good sound, these will surprise you. Dont let the asking price skew your opinion until you give them a listen. I know my recommendation may be laughed at, as some are suggesting to spend thousands....any how I like them, they are a keeper in my book. Keep in mind, these need to be bi wired to sound their best, and also require mucho amplification to bring out the bass imo. They also require rigid shot filled stands for support. Atacama makes some nice stands that go well with these. The rogue sphinx or a high powered marantz integrated really makes these sing......warm midrange, astounding bass, and liquid highs with zero harshness....I can listen for hours on end.
The harbeth compact 7es-3 are also a terrific speaker if you want to spend 4 grand or so. The stands for these alone are 750.....ouch.
I honestly cant think of a us made speaker I would own....there are a few nice Canadian speakers like totem and paradigm....
