Wharfdale's Denton Anniverary spker Any 3 way speaker of similar sound quality?? .


I have owned a pair of the Wharfdale Denton 80the Anniversary monitors for over a year. It is truly an amazing and musical sounding speaker.  However, I have identified a few of its flaws: need for a more extended midrange and a greater dynamic range.  I thought this might be accomplished by a 3 way stand speaker that uses a quality midrange driver and can handle more power

Would like recommendations  for a 3 way monitor that possess the same texture and musicality of the Denton's, but offers more detail and depth in the midrange. Can be brands other than Wharfdale   Thank you

I am currently listening to the dentons.  Yes they are very pleasant to listen to.  I have had many speakers and the one that I am thinking could fit your bill is the vandersteen 2ce.  It is on the warm side, with smooth treble, goes very low, and has a dedicated midrange.  Laid back and musical. If it wasn't for the size of these mammoths, (and the desire to change), i still would have them today.
If you want fabulous well developed midrange, there's a pair of rega rs-3 for sale in the used gear section.  This is a 2.5 way, simple crossover between tweeter (19mm so not overpowering) and midrange, and a bass driver naturally blended without filter.  I have a pair of rs-5, and they are the best uncolored midrange i have had in my house so far.  I would definitely check that out.
