History: force to see the speakers of this brand (all types) in number, trainer in the corner and various VAS curious to hear the stores complain about what equipment is often broken and almost always irreparable, I recovered in a pair of new ones (aged one month at most). The VAS me a gift because the replacement of components is too expensive and I was hoping the bricoller adapt other components, but in vain, the body is sunk, it will remain only the legs and handles caouchouc ... The person who had bought them wanted to use it for a few nights a year at home.
Many users sono beginners swear by this brand, I was curious to see what it was worth.
Conclusion: Disposable equipment is used almost unique ... ;-) The two woofers are blown, it happens if you put a 300w amp (that theoretically it should be given the power announced by the manufacturer) is that the user has done. The components are not required. The body is of such poor quality (wood too thin, poor bonding and no reinforcement) that the bottom falls off, the carpet is holding the boards ... Filtering, assembly and Speakers (mdr size filter capacitors ...) correspond to a stereo speaker of the lower end of 80w, no more. And yet, in stereo, speakers are often made of quality wood ... The advertised power (150w rms) not only unrealistic, but performance seems very low for a speaker sound system with a 38cm woofer, will disappoint the user (you push the volume but the sound pressure increases slightly).
Value for money with disastrous pregnant buying new; limit Brothers Bloom, given the components used is still very expensive. In comparison with the great opportunity to make, for the same budjet (about 350 euros a pair) was a better sound, more sound pressure with the same amp, connectivity pro, husky filtering, a high pitched n is not a piezo plastic and strength as well (as well as opportunities to repair components in case of breakage ...). Example: You can find easily two or three-way JBL Pro, Dynacord, Peavey, Yamaha, Hk ... (These are just examples, there are plenty of other models and brands, sold on the sites for 250/400 euros the pair ...
If you already have Warfedale (since I removed the other models), attention to the volume button, because apparently, the manufacturer shows largely optimistic about the power of all its models announced ... Get out the tools and wood glue and watch boxes from time to time (especially if bous bizare noises with the bass). If you make a few evenings a year, my opinion is that rent good stuff, it costs a few tens of euros and at least it will not let you plan the middle of the night and then buy some (good) chance.
The only advantage of these speakers: the weight (of course, there's nothing inside) and look who believe in the pro stuff (it's on that in a few years they will not have time be grated and worn but to discharge).
