I've got the full Diamond Surround setup
- 8.4s in front
- 8.3s in rear
- Diamond 8 center
- looking for a replacement for 12in AR sub
I initally bought a demo pair of 8.3s for only $250 as an "interim" speaker to last my senior year of college but enjoyed them enough that I jumped into a full surround package and augmented them with bigger 8.4s in front (displacing the 8.3s to surround duty).
I drive them with an NAD S170 pre/pro and S250 5 channel amp - probably well beyond what most people use to drive these speakers but I find they love the power. I formerly used an NAD T752 receiver and the Wharfedales really came alive with the better equipment. I would be curious to know how many others are using relatively modest speakers with substantially better upstream gear (not trying to start a "Where should I put most of my money" thread).
I am very satisfied with the speaker package and killer deals are now available on the net.
