Vintage Speaker Choice


Question for all who wish to respond. If you had a choice between identical condition (excellent) Wharfedale W40 or Large Advent what would you choose? Price similar as well. Say under 400 bucks per pair.  Thanks.

I picked up a pair of Snell type E that were within the OP's price range. As good or better than any 30 year old speaker I have owned. I haven't even re capped them yet but these are definitely worth the effort. 
On my vintage but completely different system, the choice of speaker wires didn’t make a significant difference unless I run very long >15’ runs. Any decent 12awg stranded copper cable should work. Are you connecting them up in parallel?
For all but my main system I still use 14 gauge stranded wire, and have never heard a difference switching in much more expensive cables.
Zar - glad to hear about your stacked pair.  Should give you lots of pleasure .... image much better than single speakers alone, plus solid frequency response top-to-bottom.
