Wharfedale Diamond ...

[Closed] Wharfedale Diamond 9.1 speakers - Buyers remorse - Send back or keep?

kayak23 · 2021-02-04T21:18:02Z

Sup I've been giving my 'office' (little corner in the cold roof space) a bit of love recently and bought back my poor unloved turntable, amp, speakers and reggae and punk LPs. I'm absolutely not an audiophile type. I've got a Sony PS-T22 turntable, that's got to be 40 years old or so. Works great. I've got a NAD 3020B Amp that I've had forever too, since man was a yoot. I've also got some really old speakers, Goodmans RB20's. They're 50 watt and 4-8 ohms or something. I've replaced the bigger cone on both speakers at some point and, they work. They sound ok. They kind of suit the crackly old reggae and punk vinyl i play through them. I recently bought another separate, a bluetooth Dab/FM tuner/internet radio and so have added that to the mix which is great for listening to Six music and anything else. I got a bit carried away with the audio equipment want after that and 'accidentally' bought some Wharfedale Diamond 9.1 speakers and now I have a bit of buyers remorse. I was sold on the good reviews and the very decent price and got tempted by a bit of lockdown angst, but now they're home, they just look a bit....soulless next to my old-school and large-ish Goodmans, and I've not got them out of the box properly, never mind tried them. Can't decide whether to keep them now I have them. Don't want to unwrap them and then find they're not game-changing! They are smaller, but more powerful, probably way better build quality and obviously newer by several decades. So should I use them over the Goodmans? Will I notice and appreciate the difference? I won't lose the bass from the larger units will I? There's nothing wrong with the Goodmans as such, or is there? This is what I'm asking I suppose... 😀
