Hi, My 5.1 current setup front - Gale model 4 center - gale center 10 rear - wharfedale 8.3 » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Speaker picture: » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Can advice if I switch the rear (wharfedale) with the front(gale) and purchase a second hand wharfedale center, will it be a worthwhile upgrade? thanks This post has been edited by alvinfks78: May 15 2019, 03:09 PM

If you like wharedale sound more then you can swap to front and see if you like the sound. If yes. then it is worth. But make sure your second handle unit is good in condition.

I thought the wharfedale diamond 8.3 looks bigger and i see wharfedale brand everywhere so often so i am thinking it is a better speaker than Gale speaker. Thinking of getting perhaps a basic wharfedale diamond 9.cc center about Rm200 second hand. If not much difference and matter of personal preference then won't buy loh and maintain current setup This post has been edited by alvinfks78: May 15 2019, 03:24 PM

What is the reason to upgrade ah? Sound too warm? Too bright?
