I've had these speakers for 15 years and not once have I thought of replacing them. Even though I've replaced every other component in my system over the years.

Bought these for my son as part of a total system - they are marvellous!

I just bought a Wharfdale 9.1 center speaker for £99. I was gobsmacked at how heavy, solid and well made it is. Gold plated connectors at the back. OMG just so well made solid and stylish. In today's times when most things are light plasticky and built like sh!t. Great work from Wharfdale!

Amazing how they have not just held their value, but are selling today new, for more than they were 1 to 3 years ago!.. by the way I purchased a pair after watching your review! I have them connected to my iMac via a DOUk Audio valve amp. Sound amazing!!

I’ve found that the Wharfedale sounds better than the other ones. They have more clear sound . Maybe is just me. Amazing speakers anyway. Thank you!

Ive got two pairs of these together with two of the Wharfedale CS's for front and rear centre channels. I also have the SW150 10" bass speaker, too, to make it a 6.1 system. I run a Marantz 4400 amp, which kicks out 95watts p/c at 6 ohms. I only play vinyl through a Rega P1+, and the sound quality is simply astonishing.

Great speakers - currently rocking roksan caspian m2 cd player and cambridge cxa81 combo - definitely not let down by 9.1s.........but may upgrade mmmmmmm!

Your right the mids and highs are terrific slap on a sub absolutely 💯 bargain

I have these, they are good, really good. Especially the very sweet sound from the tweeters, and good sound stage. But becareful that don't push the volume to limit, drivers can go clipping and tweeter flared. ( and that explains its popular in the used spare parts market)

Great speakers, have them hooked up to a Cambridge Audio amp. Got mine in New Zealand a few years ago now for $249 which was a great deal at the time.

I'm surprised these don't occur more in those YT budget speaker reviews.

Seem like a good option for surround speakers, or paired with a subwoofer in a nice 2.1 system.

In my opinion, Wharfedale can't make another budget bookshelf better looking than this (especially the walnut ones). I fell in love with these speakers first time I look at it. I had Diamond 10s, Elac, MS etc.. in the end I still end up with these sweet sounding beautiful speakers.

If you partner up the 9.1's with a sub...I think they might give any speaker under a grand a good run for their money because they are so nice and open in the upper midrange. Give the Monitor Audio Monitor 50 Bookshelf Speakers (3G Series) a try, also a bargain!!!

I bought a pair from a uk store delivered to Spain for 163 euros. I still think it is an amazing deal. Here people are selling them for 200 used.

Had them, sold them, wish I hadn’t :)

I bought a set second hand for £40. Ideal for my loft room/office when working from home.

Using the very same source…. These speakers ( Wharfadale 9.1 100 watts) sound much sharper than my Moukey 3 way speakers ( 55 watts) in which i bought some time ago now. Wouldn’t mind trying those Wharfadale 3d speakers though. Might even sound much nicer in stereo. Wednesday am 28th June 2023. Southampton England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Fantastic sound speakers it is popular speakers came out since 2004

Hey , maybe you can do the 12.2 model 💪

I'm about getting a pair of these ! I have infinity alpha 50 right now (floorstanding 2×8" bas element ) so it is going to be different ! I gonna try them with my xtz sub (12") and se if they can pair up.

when you put the diamonds on top of the dalies, i found the diamonds have a sound i prefer. maybe i have weird ears but i prefer more mid range of the diamonds than bass of the dalies. so maybe its back down to preference of sound over deemed quality of sound.

Спасибо за обзор, хотел продать, но видимо оставлю себе ))

i currently have the klipsch rp150m i wonder how would these compare to the diamond 9.1?

Is it me or do the Dali Oberon 5's sound "Boxy" in comparison? (Obviously they have more low end but that seems to mask the mid and top end somewhat?)... I have a "nice" midrange late 80's/early 90's setup and with my 9.1's it has an amazingly open 3D soundstage.

Thanks for the review! If you would pair these with a budget sub, which sub would that be?

Mate em to a sub might have been a good point and a good test, you can't compare a floorstander with a small bookshelf, what's the point

I have Dali Spektor 1 bookshelf speakers, they are even smaller than your Wharfdales, and they are arguably the best on the planet in their own category...

are they any good for desktop usage in near field (1 to 2 feet) low volume or do you have other speakers to recommend for such usage ? (my preference is for dynamic and detailed sound )

Do you prefer these or q acoustics 3020i. I cant decide which ones for my small music room

hey man have you tried the polk audio xt 20 apparently most people say it doesn’t require subwoofer as its goes down to 38hz and has strong bass

wish you could've done a review of these with your SW150 subwoofer

I hope they sound better than the 9.0 as they are not very good at all

Well This is my opinion.. there are many factors that should be considered in getting the best sound from this speaker or any speaker.. factors are ... Amplifier vs integrated amp, music source and the recording source...note that all cd's are not created equal meaning the sound engineering will differ greatly most times. Separates vs intergrated amp will always create a huge difference in sound.. room acoustics as well as speaker placement are other factors that will determine getting good sound from any speaker. I would not connect this speaker to a mid level or better receiver to get a two channel stereo sound. In my opinion Receivers are meant for another purpose other than discrete stereo sound.

hello, I also have these Wharfedale 9.1 speakers, they sound very good at a low volume, but if I raise the volume above 25%, it starts making a horrible noise, as if it's overloaded. My amplifier has 40w per channel, I don't think it's too strong for speakers, what do you think are defects? you can put the speakers in the video at half volume, as they are heard at high volume, I do the same

Hi matey. Great Channel. I can only see these speakers for £99 on 'Idealo' ,who im not famaliar with, but then shipping. Im guessing Amazon would be more reliable? (£120)

They Don't Sell These In The U.S.? I Can't Seem To Find a Website/Company That Sells Them Here...

You've not done the Wharfedales any favours plonking them on another pair of speakers - but actually they seemed to hold their own.

didn't think much of them

I can't find any for less than £125 at the moment. Inflation in action I guess.
