Wharfedale WA-8SB Pro Reviews

As Blu-ray Discs gave way to CDs, I continued to fiddle with the sub and knocked it back from threequarters to two-thirds of its volume control’s range. That may seem minor, but as it often happens with inexpensive subs, the small setting changes made big differences. Although it’s frail, his quavering tenor has a resonant bottom end, and too much of it escaped from the sub. With the bass dialed in, I could freely enjoy his shrewd observation, nonjudgmental compassion, and delicate Taylor acoustic guitar. In this sat/sub configuration, the Achromatic speaker system makes an excellent case for Wharfedale as the brand exists today. These speakers are beautifully designed, and they can navigate the subtleties of recordings and movie soundtracks.
