Wharfedale - Reva/Diamond
Reva 4s are on their way.  I will report back when I get them set up! 
Budget American made speakers?
I haven’t heard the Vandersteen bookshelves, but I have owned the 1Cs and 2CIs.  Vandersteen are truly incredible speakers and I would be surprised if the bookshelves were a disappointment.  John at Audio Connection in NJ will gladly introduce you... 
ELAC Uni-fi UF5 or not
MIght be hijacking this thread, but I used to own the Silver 6s and have been contemplating buying some ELAC uni-fis.  Was curious how they compare.  Also been thinking about;Wharfedale Reva 3/4SVS Prime TowersTannoy XT6F 
Wharfedale - Reva/Diamond
Glad to hear some positive feedback.  I might give them a shot, hopefully they are a step UP from my Diamond 10.7s and not sideways.  They look like a top notch speaker, so I hope they behave like them.  I am very bad at pulling the trigger, maybe... 
ELAC Uni-fi UF5 or not
Anyone else care to weigh in on this?

Update:Bought an Emotiva BasX Series Amp that significantly brightened my Wharfedale Diamond 10.7s, but I am still looking for something new.Possibly the Wharfedale Reva Series? 
Wharfedale - Reva/Diamond
To reiterate...If there are almost no reviews for a speaker, and the little amount said about them is rather negative, does that mean its Sh!t?  Especially if they LOOK fantastic. 
Why so few speakers with Passive Radiators?
OP,I agree, it seems like a very good way to deal with the air, but sometimes it makes no sense to me.The KEF Q series floorstanders for instance seem to me to be a complete engineering disaster.  You have two chambers, one on top that holds the u... 
ELAC Uni-fi - All Hype??
@shoff - I like that story. Ultimately I have to hear the ELACs for myself, and hopefully that will be some day soon. Until then I keep stumbling onto other entry level options each day, and honestly it’s just so exciting. They seem endless. Every... 
ELAC Uni-fi - All Hype??
Part of the reason I am asking these questions is because a friend reached out to me recently and asked for some speaker recommendations for his new mixing setup.  He has spent most of his money setting up the new room in his house and can only af... 
ELAC Uni-fi - All Hype??
@james_w514 -  Not sure I understand you.  No Hype?  Do you mean that your friend who brought the Uni-fis to the shootout was not embarrassed because his speakers held up well against the much higher priced competition?  So you're saying that they...

Thanks Erik,I will definitely look into it, but ultimately I would like an overall change.  All of the above mentioned speakers have their own intrigue.  I wish, like most of you, that I could try them all.  The Revels, Tannoy, B&W, PSB, Monit...

Also worth mentioning are the Tannoy XT6Fs.  Just read a review of the new Monitor Audio Silver 200s and the guy reviewing was dead set on buying a pair until he heard the Tannoys, which apparently were out of this world.  A few others posted in a...

Erik_Squires - I still have the Warefedales, just plan on launching them soon.  I would try the caps.  I am fairly good at soldering.  What do they do?  I'm assuming they are the crossover componant for the tweeters.  If so, they play a role in dr...

Lengthy Update:So I bought a pair of Warefedale Diamond 10.7s shortly after creating this thread simply because they were so cheap ($650.00 for the pair) and for the money I couldn't resist trying them out for a bit. I even bought the matching ce...
