Wharfedale 8.2 or Infinity Alpha 20?
|
Bronze Member Username: ExerciseguyBrooklyn, NY USA Post Number: 40 Registered: Oct-04 | Alright, I need help deciding between the Wharfedale 8.2 or the Infinity Alpha 20 speakers. I'm setting up a stereo system with an old (but nice) Marantz SR325 (paid $25.) receiver for a small room. Budget is a big issue. The Wharfedale's are about $200. the Infinity's about $140. Please help.   |

See this review:http://www.hifichoice.co.uk/review_print.asp?ID=1108 I think i'd rather go for the Infinity's and wait for the Wharf Diamond 9's to come stateside. |

You can google search and find many professional reviews praising the Wharfe. But it's your toy, you gotta be happy... |

edster922 Unregistered guest | Christopher, please get back with your impressions on the Infinitys after they arrive. I'm considering them as rears. |
