I was a few years overdue for a full upgrade!

 

[Crabbers]

Getting around to set them up…I’m assuming you place these under the speakers to dampen vibration? Use these or recommend something else?
Thanks

You stick them on the four corners of each stand (if I remember right I just put them over the four corner screws) and the speakers sit on the domes. Provides a bit of vibration damping and protects the wood veneer on the underside

In the case you weren’t aware, Wharfdale recommends the speakers to be set up with the Wharfedale logos on the outside! That being said it seems it’s a matter of preference with how the tweeters hit your cranium

Yeah I wasn’t 100% sure whether I had mine right or wrong so I shot wharfedale an email and they said that it depended on the size of the listening space. With the tweeter off centre one way suits larger spaces and the other smaller, try both. I did and I prefer them on the outside in my space.

Interesting…I just went like this cuz it said L and R when I opened them …maybe music direct put them in wrong box

I’m team outside now too.

I have enough saved where I could get these but I think I might continue to wait. I really want to get these and the Primaluna evo 100 all at the same time

Getting them one at a time means that you can evaluate what that component brings…which is nice too.

Call Upscale when you are ready. They’ll make you a package deal.
