    Me gusta mucho el sonido Wharfedale, ahora tengo un Marantz 40n y unas Wharfedale evo 4.3 y suena increíblemente bien.
    Mi próximo objetivo son las aura 2. Si las evo 4.3 congenian bien, me imagi no las aura 2 y Marantz 40n 😮

    Please tell me, where is the test recording? I really wanted to hear how this acoustics sounded.

      On UA-cam? With its compressed video? Not a chance. Besides, you'll only be hearing the device you're viewing the video on - you won't be hearing the speakers. So. No.

      @@TheAudiophileMan There are many videos on youtube where they make binaural recordings of various acoustics, or at least with a condenser microphone.
      It's just that in my city there is nowhere to listen and evaluate this acoustics 😒

    Thank you for comparison with two smaller and 1.5-2x less expensive speakers. It is nice to know that the Aura is better 😂

    Great review, and especially the comparison between the EVO and AURA speakers. I'm leaning towards getting one of those, and the more I hear about the AURA the more that sounds perfect for me. How do you think they will handle large scale classical music (symphonies)?

    • @TheAudiophileMan
      @TheAudiophileMan  4 місяці тому +1

      I think they would perform well, balancing the symphonic grandeur with the detail needed re. the upper frequencies.

    Thanks for the review, I have been considering these instead of the Elysian thinking I could get as much enjoyment for a reasonable cost saving. The one thing that is off putting is the cost of the matching stands £1,000). I suppose I need to see if Solid Steel make a model of suitable size and shape.

      @@andrewbrazier9664 I have demo-ed the Elysian 3’s and 2 at home, the 3’s were too much for the room and the 2’s were great. I am waiting to try the auras at home which may just be enough for me. As I say the only potential fly in the ointment would be adding another 50% to get the matching stands.

      Just use stands that will isolate them well.

    Feeling old having had the original Wharfedale and leak speakers back in the 70s , but no doubt these modern reincarnations bear no resemblance to those long gone originals . Nice to see the records on display , I don’t suppose it anything to do with me perchance 😂

      @TheAudiophileMan  4 місяці тому

      From memory? (so bear that in mind because I had to send the PMCs back) I'd still go for the Auras, even though the PMCs sound excellent and provide a pretty good challenge, I would add.

    Never been a fan. In contrast to B&W, Focal, Monitor Audio, these are just not very resolving speakers. I admire your work, however.

      So you listened to them? Coming from B&W I can tell you they outperform the 702S2 that I owned before, which were pretty terrible speakers for the 4k Euros I paid for them.
