Summary: The best sounding speakers I have ever heard
Review: I recently replaced my venerable 16 year old Advent speakers with a pair of Wharfedale Emerald 93s. The first thing you notice is they are so much smaller and lighter than the Advents, how can they possibly sound as good?

Well let me tell you, these speakers have the cleanest, most transparent, warm and sweet sound I have ever heard come from any speaker (with the possible exception of my Sennheiser headphones). The sound stage they produce is well defined and sounds three dimensional. They don't sound like good speakers, they just sound like the musicians are in the room with you. These speakers truly produce "the sound" I have been looking for from my audio equipment for over 30 years.

Even before fully broken in (they need 60-100 hours to fully open up) they are marvelously bright and full. They produce more bass than a box that size normally would (due to the ported design), but without it being over powering or boomy. The high end is accurate without the tinny/hissy quality I hear in too many speakers these days. I would also definitely recommend biwiring, which they are equipped to do.

The bottom line...try them, you'll be pleased with the result.

Summary: Wonderful Sound
Review: My living room, den and bedroom have all been blessed with the Wharfedale name! The Emerald 93s serve as the "bedroom theater" pair, and are just outstanding with their rich, full and spacious sound. Mount them at ear level, connect with top-of-the-line Monster Cable speaker wire, an added "super tweeter," and subwoofer, the room shakes the rafters!. I smile everytime a sonic boom, scream, or trickle, emits from these fine babies! You can't go wrong with the 93s! ... I'm proud to own these babes!

Summary: Great bargain!
Review: These are fabulous speakers--the best I've ever owned.I got mine as a demo for a lot less money, but I was lucky. Especially if you have a smaller space & can afford them I'd say you can't really go wrong with these... As for the low bass--yes, I'm considering getting a subwoofer for the under 50 herz signals, but even WITHOUT one I've been incredibly impressed. On the soundtrack of 'Eye of the Beholder' the woofer cone(without grille due to a shipping incident) was pumping in and out with such ferocity that --well that's the 'slap in the face' that Wharfedale is so understandably famous for...This English loudspeaker I understand is well loved by all sorts of british musical legends such as Eric Clapton,the Stones, etc. Now I know why! Go get 'em!!!

Summary: Beautiful
Review: These speakers produce a very clean sound. I replaced a Bose AMIII with these speakers and can't believe the music I was missing. The oak cabinets are drop dead beautiful. If you want to hear the music the way the artist intended, buy these speakers.
