andre-k Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 I also work at a Best Buy( I work in video, we seperate audio and video), and was wondering if any representative from Klipsch has come to your store yet. I am hoping that they will come around soon and give us an accomodation on Klispch like we have on Athena and other brands. If they have came around what did they offer for accomodation? Im trying to hold off on picking up a pair of sf-2's. By the way have you guys heard the wharfedale's? The 60 percent off thing sounds pretty good but I never heard them.

Griffinator Posted June 26, 2003 Share Posted June 26, 2003 I'm as clueless as you on that topic. I haven't worked in nearly a month on account of my back, but I haven't heard anything from other employees at the store about Klipsch reps showing up, either. Keep in mind, Klipsch isn't the only company that doesn't offer accomodations. I'd love to find out that they've started, and that the full line is available via those accomodations... Trey Cannon? Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unreal Posted June 26, 2003 Share Posted June 26, 2003 I work in Audio and no sign of anyone from Klipsch. Wharfedales are suppost to be excellent, but I've never heard them. I know we can order them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andre-k Posted June 26, 2003 Author Share Posted June 26, 2003 I know wharfedale makes really good high end stuff, but Im unsure about the Zaldek line. Its basically between the Klipch sf-2 for 360 a pair, the athena asf2 for 240 a pair, and the wharfs for 240 a pair as well. What would you guys do?

Invidiosulus Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 I've never been impressed with the wharfedale speakers that I've heard. A friend of mine raved about the "expensive"($800) wharfedale speakers he had. I finally got a chance to listen to them and thought they were some of the most uninvolving speakers I had ever witnessed. They sounded not unlike my JBL L46's if you were to first cover the tweeter with a piece of thick felt and set the crossover to provide the boomiest sloppiest most undefined bass possible with a midrange leftover from a weedwacker engine. That said I haven't heard any recently. Peace, Josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Athenas are too muted in the high end for my taste. Go with the SF2's. You'll be happy you did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fini Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 My experience is that most speakers sound muffled compared to Klipsch. fini Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Synergy towers sound very mellow in the high end compared to a pair of S312's, S38's, S36's... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
