    Are they the Denton or Denton 2 Dave?

    I have to admit I didn't like any of that circa 1970 range of Wharfedales much, apart from grudging fondness for the Dovedale III. I preferred the Celestions and one or two Goodmans models.

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    They're original Dentons as far as I know (W20 model) with paper cone and huge rubber roll surround and a funky purple cone-dome tweeter. Very nice sounding still. the Denton 2 was very coloured as I remember.

    Yeah, I remember that model well. Used them quite a few times. Same tweeter as the Melton.

    Perhaps I need to buy a pair of the W20 model to complement the 80th. Anniversary models.

    Going back to 'modern' loudspeakers, even some very expensive ones sound excessively bright.
    For somebody who goes to listens to live music, records it and lives with it, the present day speakers don't seem to be based on music !

    I disconnected my Spendor BC1s and gave these little Dentons a very long listening session yesterday.
    They really are superb.
    Initially I missed the scale the BC1s give, but after about half an hour or so I had fully adjusted to the Dentons.
    I won't go into detail, just say that they give a sense of really listening through to the music.
    I will be honest and say that I never expected a modern loudspeaker, especially a relatively small one, to be just so good.
