RE: was Pronto now NXT speakers
Wow
lots of questions :-)
>do you
have
any manuals in .pdf or some format that can be
posted?
- No, there is not alot of info a couple of
pages
max... but I'll scan it tonight and send to you if you'd
like.
>How
thick
they are exactly, without frame?
about
an inch.
>Do they
have
glass, so you put picture behind the glass, or you cannot put
glass?
No
glass with them, I was going to try putting some in the panel, but I'm not
sure
what it would do to the sound?
Bear
in mind they have a bass bin with them, this is a passive device, so the
input
>from
speakers.
I
have
used a run of speaker wire from the lounge, up under the floorboards into
the
dining room, and back down the walls, used approx a lot of cable
(twice).
Wharfedale actually recommend placing them on
opposing
walls, as the sound they produce is not directionable.

Woah,
great news.
If I
knew that before, it would be at my place long ago.
But
now they are much cheaper so I don't feel too sorry.
I
need
to find a way to send a signal from my amp in living room, to my
bedroom.
I
have
Sony STR DB1070 amp and it seems to have 2 amps in one.
One is
Dolby Digital 6.1 and the other just stereo, but should be fine for
bedroom.
Now, I
can watch DVD in living room, while listening radio in bedroom, from the
same
amp.
Daniel, do you have any manuals in .pdf or some format that can be
posted?
How
thick they are exactly, without frame?
Do
they have glass, so you put picture behind the glass, or you cannot put
glass?
I
heard that they are making ceiling panels as well. Waves generated with
these
speakers are propagating much better than the ones from "normal" speakers,
so
you need less speakers for covering public places (like railway stations
etc.).
Also they are not so directional as normal ones, so it's harder to find
where
the sound is coming from (I hope that Daniel can confirm this) so
positioning
these speakers is not so vital like the normal ones in home cinema
setup.
There
were even plans to put them in laptop screens...
If
there are smaller versions, they can be ideal for puting them around the
house,
because you can put them anywhere in plasterboard. Conventional ones are
much
deeper and you get less options for positioning.
Cheers,
Nik
The
frame has no function...
They
are simply screwed on, the manual talks about using the panels with or
without
the frames..
I
see no reason why you couldn't have different frames made to fit the
panels.
My
brother in law has removed the decals, and re-stained the frames for his
loudpanels.
Daniel
Didn't know that frames can be detached and painted. It's a piece of
Hi-Fi and I'm not sure if they are glued or something. Maybe Daniel can
tell
me more? I couldn't touch them in demo room, when I took a look at them.
Nobody mentioned detaching and repainting frames in any of the reviews. I
don't know if that would affect the sound quality?
Also, original frames have a rather big logo on them, which looks
silly
on the picture frame.
Daniel, is it possible to remove original frame and put custom one,
or
that frame has some function?
Nik
Nikola
why not get the pine framed speakers and paint or
stain the frames to your choice?
Mick
I'm looking at them since they were £300 and they are really cool.
I listened them in demo room and the sound was really good. They've got
excellent marks in What Hi-fi, I think Editor's
choice.
So, I wanted to install them in my bedroom and hang on the wall,
but SWMBO doesn't like any of the frames on offer (black or
pine).
And that's the reason, why they are still in the shop. Battle
continues...
You can put any picture in frames, without degrading sound.
Technology is developed in army for neutralizing sound inside tanks, but
now they decided to get some money bask from the investment in
research.
Cheers,
Nik
Daniel,
Can you post some photos, please?
The HiFI purists
will kill me for this... :-)
I have some Wharfedale Loudpanels in
my dining room, and for "background"
type music they are fantastic,
i.e. listening when entertaining....
They answered all my
criteria for a discrete music source, and guests
usually ask, where
the music is coming from!!
If you think about what they are and
for the money you can buy them for,
they are a real bargain.. (under
80 from Richer sounds at the moment).
The biggest issue with them
is making them look discrete, I installed the
cabling before the room
was replastered.
As always you pays your money and takes your
choice, Hifi is a really
personal thing, and it is down to each
individuals
taste!
HTH
Daniel
