Test: Einzeltest: Wharfedale Diamond 9.1
Zitat: Pros: + Quality construction
+ versatility
+ class-leading clarity and superb integration
Cons: - Bass could delve deeper
If AVR used star ratings, these four speaker sets would be worthy of a galaxy between them. All these speakers offer outstanding price to performance ratios and you´re unlikely to be disappointed with whichever one you choose. But, there can only be one winner and the sparkling performance of Wharfedale´s Diamond 9.1 claims the class-leading title. The beautifully balanced, refined delivery sounds effortless with any assortment of musical affection. And few speakers can equal their insightful subtlety without sacrificing scale or authority - an absolute gem in every aspect. Among the contenders, Monitor Audio´s Bronze B2 deserves a silver medal for outstanding all-round ability that´s second only to one. Mission´s improved m31i also makes its mark, especially for anyone totally addicted to bass. And, if detailed ambience is more appropriate then B&W´s DM303 suits more subtle tastes.
