Reddit reviews Wharfedale Diamond 9.1 Speakers (Pair) (Walnut)

I see Wharfedale Diamond 9.1 on amazon.co.uk for £100 and they do deliver to mainland france...

careful with the dimensions... they are not small, also maybe not as easy to power with a T-amp

How about this instead (that Denon amp is just barely "ok")....

You can consider these speakers, and pair it with the SMSL amp as in the top post - it's available on amazon.de.

I would look at this setup

Amp - Denon RCDM40DAB £200 also available from RicherSounds for the same price.

Speakers - Pick one

1. Mordaunt Short M20 £80 Great speaker for a good price. Front mount port a plus as you can put them against the wall with no issues.
   
   
2. Cambridge Audio SX50 £100
   
   
3. CAMBRIDGE AUDIO SX60 £130 I like these for a bit more than the SX50 because of the front mount port.
   
   
4. Wharfedale Diamond 9.1 £100 another great speaker with a front port design.
   
   Sub - If you need one that unit has a sub out on it so you can do a powered unit very easily. I would look at this Tannoy £100 or this Cambridge SX120 £150 if you want to push the budget.
   

Amazon/UK.......... Wharfedale seems like the Choice......

New to vinyl here I bought a TT and a few records off a pal did some research and found out I bought a Crosley which from the posts on here is the worst thing in the world.

So I'm upgrading but finding the world of vinyl is quite daunting for beginners so I just wanna know if this setup would work:

Pro-ject essential II

Behringer PP400 Preamp

Wharfedale Diamond 9.1 Speakers

Tbh the passive/active speaker thing is confusing me a bit. I have read the guides but need some help.

Thanks in advance guys.

I’ve looked around quite a bit and Wharfedale are the only ones hard to get replacements for lol, this is what I would do.
It would give you a spare but I’m in the UK and you would have to use a U.S site..
Possible Solution

My suggestion

This amplifier

These bookshelf speakers

This subwoofer

Edit - the bookshelf speakers come in a few different finishes, so you can choose whatever you like on those. The sub is only in black, I think.

So I've found this amp - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hi-Fi-Integrated-Digital-Stereo-Amplifier/dp/B00G503KCO/ref=sr_1_8?rps=1&ie=UTF8&qid=1483810178&sr=8-8&keywords=Stereo%2BIntegrated%2BAmplifier&th=1

and these speakers

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Wharfedale-Diamond-Speakers-Pair-Walnut/dp/B0019410ZK/ref=cm_cd_al_qh_dp_i

would this be able to connect to my record player

my record player an output called audio output - L R
