Might be when they supplied drivers OEM and their own speakers were branded JM Labs. I think those Kevlar(?) tweeters were used quite a bit, the Impulse H2 being an obvious example.

Gambit's off of 'The New Avengers' system. Big Wharfedales (Glendale?) with the electronics built into the console below.
You never get to see them close enough to identify.

I thought it was an onion. From Warhol's Vegetable Period. But yeah it's an MBL.Originally Posted by Pigmy Pony
When you see his whole room he could have set those speakers up way better.

Those Wharfedale speakers are not as large as they appear. Each one in the series: Dovedale; Glendale,Gambit's off of 'The New Avengers' system. Big Wharfedales (Glendale?) with the electronics built into the console below.
You never get to see them close enough to identify.
and Kingsdale used a 5" midrange drive unit. The Dovedale used a 10" bass driver, the Glendale a 12" driver and the Kingsdale a 15" driver.
Judging from the size of the woofer compared with the 5" mid, I would suggest they are Dovedales.

Well spotted Lawrence.
After posting my over- confident reply, I had doubts, not only regarding the disposition of the drive units, but of the number.
Well done.
