Wharfedale Dovedale 90th anniversary

I bought them used, so I didn’t pay full price. I know the 7k price point is pretty crowded with good speakers, but I certainly think they are contenders even at retail.

@ozzy62 how do you think the Elysian 2 compare to your? 

Never heard any of the Elysian line, so hard to say.

They do look beautiful in that classic or traditional way. I bet they sound great too. Seems to me the problem might be that many people don't really think of Wharfedale as a brand worthy of that pricing level. Sure they do great around the $3k level but at $7k they are playing in a different league. As someone above said, lots of very stiff competition there.

Note that for all I know they could in fact be the best choice at $7k. I'm talking more about the challenge of public perception and reputation.

I completely understand. I had heard the wharfedale jade series of speakers in the past and wasn’t impressed at all. So I took a leap of faith with these and it paid off.
