hi,

how would the combination of marantz pm 7200 and wharfedale 8.4 be. would the 86 db sensitivity of the speakers play spoilsport? Also could anyone tell me the approx cost of the combo. I am asking this due the extremely limited options i have..small town guy's lament!!!!

I dont know if you already own the Wharfedale 8.4 be. I am not even sure if what I'm asking you to listen to is available in India yet. The Wharfedale Diamond 9.6 loudspeaker has recd a great review in the Apr/May issue of The Absolute sound. US price $800/pair.

Incidentally they were partnered with the NAD C 352 integrated amp and C542 CD player.To qoute the reviewer "Although the music lost some resolution and the image became flatter (when compared with his reference components consisting of extremely expensive Edge amplification)with the NAD combo, the massed strings sounded more "relaxed". ......which suggests that these manufacturers, among others, probably voice thier speakers with the same level of affordable electronics with which they are likely to be mated" unqoute.

hey Doc,
am using the NAd 320 BEE with the diamond 8.4 and it does get a bit warmer than ususal but no problem in driving the speakers . rarely go above the 11 o clock position.
Diamond 8.4, as i have always mainntained is a great choice for a first speaker. excellent sopund for the money. probably the best in the price range.
Cheers,
BEn
