    After 2 years of my Tibo Extreme floorstanders, I wanted something better as I knew my Dolby Digital receiver was capable of a lot more...............

    Enter on this very day: The Mighty Wharfedale Xarus 5000 Floorstanding Speakers!! These things are HUGE & I couldn't wait to get them in position & start testing [​IMG]

    These speakers are simply stunning, I remember why I always loved Wharfies as a lad - they sound simply incredible!! Lows & highs are excellent & vocals & stereo imaging are astonishing [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG]

    Looking forward to the weekend - they will be properly tested over next couple of days!!

    Decent Speakers are never cheap & while the Tibo's served me well, they will be moving on & have now been retired to the hallway!!

    Ooh, nice :)
    I too am partial to floor-standers from Wharfedale. They seemed to nail the combination of controlled & authoritative sound, with great detail & accuracy at lower levels, along with the ability to sustain truly monstrous volume for a sustained period without damage when given a hammering.
    Here is a pic. They're Wharfedale Vanguards, an evolution of the E70:

    I used them when DJing in the late 80s, early 90s & beyond (their last outing was a 2012 jubilee street party) & they always sounded better after a good thrashing.
