Are they made of metal Andre?

My computer speakers look like a smaller version of those... Acoustic Energy Aego M's

No not metal..

Do you find the whizzer cone shouty at times? Have avoided the Chevin for that reason.

No, not at least with this old Sony amp,

I have just come across this and thought it very encouraging, and that it would be of interest.

Thanks Lawrence you just got me thinking. I might try swapping out those units & play about a bit as these speakers are a bit loud as low volume & also a little boomy where ever you plant them..

If I had them I'd look at doping the whizzer cones, varnish can help there's plenty online about it (maybe not in the context of Wharfedales though).

Have you tried a little extra damping in them?

At this moment, I'm removing a little damping from my Dalines (B110 T15 and Coles 4001G), I probably slightly overdamped them.

Yeh i have but that does not alter the loudness. I dont want to deface them so im gonna make up a thin square of MDF & mount that to the existing unit mounting holes. Fit Dayton audio ps95-8 unit in the piece see how they sound. If i can locate some in the UK..

Looks like a really nice unit, amazingly cheap
