    Pondering hoe to get the best from these old beasts they sound slightly cloudy at present I dont have a set of low enough stands could this be the problem or maybe their not for me but want to try all options.. Thinking of using something Vintage Pioneer SA 6300 , Quad 33/303 - Quantum 1A100 / Sony TA 88 / Luxman 507X / Yamaha CR 820 / Sony STA 6046 / NAD 3020 / Teleton 206B / Carbon Trinity Valve Dock /

    Maybe they dont suit my room as i do have a lot of clutter about maybe this is holding them back I'm thinking of clearing all and having just a big pair of speakers IE these on with 2 lots of amplifiers but what does suit them suggestions more then welcome and placement thoughts

    The Dovedale III never sounded "clouded" to me Dan. They have always sounded well enough balanced to me, if not the last word in resolution.

    There's one ommission from your amp list, the Trio KA-2000A. It's a little gem, very open and lucid. And it will work fine with the Wharfedales.

    I tried one a while back through my Tannoys and was gobsmacked at how well it sounded.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    The Dovedale III's give a lot for the money they can be picked up for.

    “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!”
