Hi, Dan! Really interesting points! Its hard to find videos about this speakers… Im considering get the Tourus AX 15mbt, but have some doubts about the sound quality and volume. The specs on the site of Wharfedale are very interestings but I would like to know in a “real life situation” if could be comparable (in terms of sound quality and volume) to Electro-voice, Alto, QSCs… Thanks for the video!
In my experience the Tourus sound great for the money. My QSC speakers sound better, but you would expect considering the price differences. I am using older HPR122i speakers, but for a modern example a K12.2 is roughly 3x the price of a Tourus AX12 here in Canada. Long story short, the Tourus sounds as good and is as loud as just about anything in its price point but don't expect them to compete with speakers 2x or more. Now, the Typhon line is a different story. I sold my EV ELX112 speakers because my Typhon AX12 speakers made them irrelevant. They sound as good or better than anything I have used up until about 120db (they start getting a bit harsh in the highs around there). If I need more volume than that I lug the HPR122i's.
Haven't used either. On paper the TS408 would be louder and the QSC would likely be quieter (QSC only lists peak SPL and their numbers are assuming limiters are disabled).
Your comments really helped me a lot in short listing which speakers I should consider.

Hi. Is this louder than QSC CP8 or Alto TS408?
