Wharfdale Diamond - Pleb Audiophile speaker?

Looking for people opinions in Wharfdale diamond speakers, I live in a small town with one only okay stereo/ audio dealer, he was attempting to tell me what wharfdale diamond speakers are excellent, better than B&W CM series. Upon inspection of the speaker the appear to try to ripoff the woven Kevlar look but it appears the wover pattern looked like embossed plastic rather than a woven material of any kind.
Had a listen and the treble was dull and the bass was boomy.

I would never consider buying these, they struck me as over hyped general consumer quality surround speakers rather than 2 channel listening speakers.

what does anyone think, are they good? kind of good? or is it just a big advertising campaign to sell dressed up whitevan scam speakers legit to unsuspecting punters?

I've auditioned the warfedale diamond 10 series myself at a dealer here in denver and I was also very dissappointed. they look nice, but the sound leaves much to be desired. I immediately started listening to the offerings by quad, which were in the same room, they sounded much better.
there have been many posts on this about how great the diamond 9.1 bookshelf speakers are, but I have never heard them, I only auditioned the diamond 10 series.
