I have a pair of these, nice compact sized, bright sounding speakers with Wharfedale quality . But you'll need to add a sub if you like your bass...... not bothered with a sub personally, as i dont want to annoy my neighbours.
You wont get better than these for the ridiculously cheap price of £40.

Another option is to get the very capable £20 TIBO EDGE MINI pair instead.

Then you can get the £20 Lepy amp & save yourself £10 in the bargain!

Holy RACIST CAPITALS, batbrain!

Feel free to peruse http://www.madeingb.org/ while weeping about the crumbling of our Once Mighty Empire.

Love the way the concept of passive speakers seems quite alien to modern yoof. What, I need an AMPLIFIER?

offer back on.

thanks. gonna take the plunge and get them.

The sound will be worth it.

wow, lot to buy then in case i get these.

wonder if speaker qualities worth it compared to a all in one 2.1 pc system?

thanks, didn't see your reply before i replied. lol.

You'll need to buy speaker cable.

thanks.

any need to woery about wires or will they or amp come with pluggable wires and it's all a case of plug wire here and plug wire there and all done? like headphone jacks.

With an amplifier like this

https://www.amazon.co.uk/SA-36A-Integrated-Digital-Stereo-Amplifier/dp/B00G503KCO/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1461628439&sr=8-3&keywords=smsl

You may need a DAC though as most TV's nowadays don't seem to have a line out.

Like this

https://www.amazon.co.uk/PROZOR-Digital-Toslink-Analog-Converter-Adapter/dp/B00KNNSKV0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1461628540&sr=8-1&keywords=dac

Plug the TV's optical out -> DAC -> line out -> amplifier -> speakers

how would you link the tibos to a tv?

An amplifier.

what do i need to do to use these with the sony kd49x8005 cbu tv?

A little ridiculous to call TA2024 old tech, there is more to an amp than a chip! Though if you're buying an amp for £7 I guess you only care about the wattage, which is largely meaningless...

Not sure any things "too niche" for this forum: http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/taken-pterodactyl-dinosaur-erotica-kindle-edition-2336142http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/taken-pterodactyl-dinosaur-erotica-kindle-edition-2336142.:neutral_face:

Voted hot....used to have some old Wharfedale diamonds sounded good. Re the advice on the amplifier, those TA2024 amplifiers are now a bit old tech compared to what else is out there. Google TPA 3116 D2 amps. Various versions of ready made boards can be purchased on ebay for around a tenner. I bought the 100w + 100w version for £7 delivered in a week. Sounds absolutely awesome on my B&W 601 s3 speakers and much more powerful than the the lepy. I built a case for it on a laser cutter... pic on my drop box

There is a whole 900 odd page thread about these amps on DIY audio, I thought about posting a deal for these but felt it's a little niche for this forum.

Damn, the price has gone back up... They won't budge.... Looks like the price goes up and down a lot so I'll hold out...

Now back to £59

​you need an amp. get the lepy linked a few posts up its about £20 and sounds fab. You plug the Chromecast into this and the speakers into the amp.

Would I need a amp for that? Or plug and play with chrome cast? Thanks.

Look at the post i replied to.

Where from? Link please if possible. Do the tibos need a amp to? Will be hooking up to a chromecast

​Agreed. We have the diamond 9s in our room and got the tibos for our daughters room. I love the diamond 9s, but the tibos are insane value at £20. Get them you won't be disappointed.

Had these for over a year now. Really good speakers and dont muffle.

Used some vandame cable and banaba plugs

Another option is to get the very capable £20 TIBO EDGE MINI pair instead.

Then you can get the £20 Lepy amp & save yourself £10 in the bargain!

As mentioned before...


I think that's being very ambitious, but you never know - try for a secondhand one on AV Forums - if you ask nicely, someone may have pity on you :stuck_out_tongue:

Also, you can post a wanted ad in our forums in this section

Another place to look is on eBay.

All the best!

Really would have had these but with the added cost of the amp, I've had to back out.

these are good speakers

The Logitech Z623 has a built-in amp.

How are people without active speakers or an amp going to run these?

And, what does "fire" have to do with anything?

Yes I have a pair of these with my home pc. Excellent sound with the sw for £45

Yes these are the speakers that the slightly older generation will remember, before the days of pc speakers that come with a plug.

I have some of these.. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Microlab-FC330-Model-System-Speaker/dp/B0040N3BQI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1459790553&sr=8-1&keywords=microlab+fc330

They sound great for the price of £45

everyone going on about amps and fire,i put bookshelf speakers onto my logitech Z623 by splitting speaker wires.Been doing it with 3.1 speakers for years.Great price,heat added.

What device did you type that comment on? And where was it made?

Love the way the concept of passive speakers seems quite alien to modern yoof. What, I need an AMPLIFIER?

Definitely the Wharfedales for half the price!

Also, consider the excellent Mardaunts & Tannoys, which are available from £50 here (2-3 pages to look through).

Nice deal, I was choosing between the Wharfdale Diamonds and Tannoy V series a few years ago and went with the Tannoys in the end. If I wanted a "second location" from my amp, I'd get these, but I am unsure where I'd put them right now...

Made in CHINA.

would these suit an Onkyo mini all in one system? thx in advance....

These or these... http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/q-acoustics-2010i-speakers-graphite-79-95-richer-sounds-with-6-year-warranty-2419436 ?

Can anyone recommend any decent budget priced speakers for a desktop pc with a decent sound for playing music? Thanks

Fantastic speakers, punch well above their weight for size and price. Love them with my Denon DM38

Anyone got a link to a suitable amp under 10 please?

Can anyone do a picture to show how big these actually are? I want some to hook up to a chrome cast. Need to see actual size before I venture to store. Thanks

true.
and they sound great for the money and size.

Iphones are made in China, does that shock you?

Made in CHINA.

Would like to find a good alternative, so interested in any other option, but your link is not working so can't check it out.

If you want to put them on the wall, you will need the dedicated wall brackets, which will cost you another £20+

snapped up 14 pairs , great price but nearly ruined my suspension on the zonda on the way home

Im using for surround speaker it is OK nothing special nothing wrong They OK for my needs and sound.
With good amp they sound not bad : ) Just adjust them for mid range and highs frequency do not think they will be bass speaker

What I do not like how they made - Cheap laminated wood and looks to boxy
I know I pay similar price £40-50 couple years ago for this price cannot find better : )

But if you pay £100 + you have much bigger selection how the speaker looks and performs

thanks for that. with the amp, its suddenly not as cheap as first thought.

I have these (bought at £50 a while ago, which I think is the regular VIP price). I have them in my kitchen, connected to a Chromecast Audio via a Lepy 2024 and it sounds great for its purpose. I am planning on buying another set to go in exactly the same setup (CCA and another Lepy amp) in the study.

There seems to be some confusion.

These WHARFEDALE DIAMOND 9.0 @ £39.95 are the 'traditional' type of passive speaker that's been around for decades - you need an amp to power them, along with an input (CD player) and speaker cables.
http://www.richersounds.com/product/standmount-speakers/wharfedale/diamond-9.0/whar-9.0-blk

These are an active type which plug into the mains - WHARFEDALE DS1 @ £129
http://www.richersounds.com/product/standmount-speakers/wharfedale/ds1/whar-ds-1-blk
So you can connect your phone/laptop wirelessly via bluetooth or NFC or 3.5mm headphone-style cable.

:-)

you recommend any suitable amps which will work with these and the CC?

are these speakers connected together by some sort of wire?

No power cord just speaker connectors which plug in to amplifier,
cheers

thanks for the post mate. so how do I connect amp,speakers and CC all up? how do you mean speakers are not powered? do they not have a power cord?

is that H X W X D ?

Got some of these little babies a few months ago.... as mentioned this is the regular selling price but it is an excellent price for a very good set of speakers, easily worth double this price so might make travelling worthwhile.

This offer has been on since God was a boy. Sadly most of us don't live near a Richer sounds so look on enviously at those that can benefit from the instore offers they have.

what amp do you guys recommend for these? I have my Onkyo 876 but will be selling soon as that's a beast and I moved in a smaller place now so getting rid of my 4ohm epos speakers & receiver.

I have these speakers hooked up to a TEAC mini hi-fi and have have my tv plugged into it..... gives a sound far better than any soundbar you can get, plus CD player and FM/DAB radio thrown in. Its a dirt cheap all in one (seriously fussy audiophiles need not apply).
Would work equally as well with the Denon DM40, that Richer Sounds were doing for for around £180.

And you will need the correct Amp regarding ohms/wattage input/output/din or you'll star a fire, blow these speakers or wreck your amp

Thinking of connecting this to the 55k television I just purchased (Philips 55" 4k deal), will it connect to this?

I have a pair of these, nice compact sized, bright sounding speakers with Wharfedale quality . But you'll need to add a sub if you like your bass...... not bothered with a sub personally, as i dont want to annoy my neighbours.
You wont get better than these for the ridiculously cheap price of £40.

have these on the bookshelf in the bedroom with 9.1s in the other room. fantastic for the price but seem to remember getting them for £29.95?

Home cinema set up

Would these be an upgrade to some Cambridge audio s20s?

Should have said these are an instore deal only and they are limited to one pair per customer!
