Speaker Cable Terminology
Did I miss something? 
$1000 bookshelf speakers with "recessed", "laid back" or "flat" mid-range?
The only Wharfedale I’ve been able demo,was the Reva 1 . My brother has a pair,and he’s running it with a Yamaha integrated. Very smooth speaker. Nice detail,but definitely not bright. I could live them without a doubt.

noromance made a great suggestion. I owned a pair of s3/5’s,(which ultimately lead me to Graham Chartwell LS3/5’s) A very magical midrange.  I had both in my listening room for a while. I found them to be more alike than different. The Spendors we...

Have you tried toeing the speakers out a bit?

Should people who can't solder, build or test their speakers be considered audiophiles?
What a giant load of horse droppings.  
Affordable US Made Tube Pre/Power or Integrated Options
I’ll be the third to recommend Aric Audio. I currently run two of his preamps in two systems. They are simply wonderful. There are some very good reviews online. His products are reasonably priced,and solidly built.

I wonder how they would sound in my 9’x13’ room??

Subliminal. I love good bass,just not too much.  
I can prove your room is bad

I can prove your room is bad
No doubt,the room plays a major part in sound. Acoustic panels,and any other room treatment just aren’t sexy! Luckily for me, I’m married,so I don’t have to concern myself with sexy. I use GIK panels in my listening room. They may not look sexy, b...
