Hi All,

Is anyone using a pair of Wharfedale LX215's?

I am interested in buying a new pair for around £500.00, but there are a lot of 'quality' (not skytec etc.) speakers in this price range with 2x15" drivers (Tapco Series 69 Dual 15" look nice too).

I am interested in adding these to my current rig for an overall boost (Top, mid and low end) I will be driving them from my KXR2000.

Anyone got any good reviews?

Regards,

Keith.

These look very simlar to Kam Extreme 215's...


Is the Clas-D stuff any good? It seems quite cheap..

If a pair costs £300.00 Including VAT I get a little suspicious about the quality..

This would be the breakdown:

£300.00 - 17.5% = £247.5

Divides by two for 2 speakers = £123.75 Per speaker..

The manufacture will make 50% so this comes down to £61.87 per speaker

So total costs involved manufactuiing

Cabinet
Grill
Handles
Crossover
2x15
tweeter
Connectors
Labour
Carpet
Marketing
e.t.c All for £61.87 per cabibnet, I would suspect the drivers to not be the best quality at that kind of build cost.. especailly from a smaller manufacture..

Wharfedale are a bigger company have a good reputation and larger scale manufacturing facilities, so I am thinking that I would get better quality speakers from them..

Don't. I'm not promoting them any more, because they haven't given me any freebies.http://planetsmilies.net/vicious-smiley-1765.gif (http://planetsmilies.net)





They are very good for the money though.

The ones like that which I'm using cost £120 per pair, so I don't expect you to be impressed ( unless of course you hear them;) )

Steve's got no chance, he's only using the "Budget " range! To qualify for priveleged customer status, you have to buy the more expensive ones. :D
