Wharfedale Diamond 8.4

Thanks for the comments guys. Ive also heard that the Totem Arro might fit my needs well. Any thoughts on that?

I liked the Totem Arro a lot when I heard it at the Montreal show a few years ago. Vince Bruzzese was playing it with a SimAudio I-5 integrated and a Rega Planet--this was before Totem brought out their own integrated amp. Very musical, lots of presence and rhythm, sounded good next to the wall. Personally, and without having heard your components, I would guess by its reputation that the Totem Arro would be closer in quality to what you have than the Wharfedale model you're considering, but I would like to have that confirmed, please.

the totem is a significant step up from the wharfdales..i know because an audiophile friend of mine has the exact same system as me except i own arros and he owns wharfdale diamond 8....not sure which one, its a 3 way speaker though...

my system sound much better than his...the wharfdales are good speakers for the money but theres simply no comparison...

if looking into arros though be aware of a potential problem i discovered...see my thread below titled "help with speaker problem" for more info

Were you charged for the arro's being fixed? Had you bought them new?

they were bought new and were under warranty..so no i wasnt charged
