The XARUS XR 5000 is great speakers not only for music but also for movies. I own a Pioneer VSX816 130w per channel amplifier in 7.1 setup. They really deliver in all tonal levels, the whole house vibrates in explosions of deep bass and the mid range punch is the best I've yet experienced. The treble is of excellent quality, all these speakers combined produce an excellent speaker of note. After listening to the 2 speakers I've acquired 2 more XARUS XR 5000's and a XARUX CENTER for a complete surround experience. They were most definitely worth the money spent.

I've had mine for over a year and run them on a Harman Kardon AVR 335 7.1 surround amp. When I purchased was looking for an affordable high-end set of stereo speakers. I listened to a good range and having been impressed with the general quality of wharfedale settled very confidently with the Wharfedale Xarus 5000's. I have not yet heard a pair of speakers within the price bracket that come close in terms of clarity and power. Whilst many manufacturers seek to deliver quality highs and punchy bass, the mids are often ignored - not so with the XR5000's! Beautifully detailed, yet warm low mids punctuate the quality, pristene highs and clear bass. Though thelaminate finish appears a little cheap and disappointing, my ears are very satisfied!

Face meltingly loud. At this price, its a steal. You simply wont find a pair as good as this. Sounds really fat when putting some punchy drum n bass through them, if your "entertaining guests" at 6am in the morning, these will get you dancing your tits off. You can really push them, ive got a 120 watt per channel amp and I nearly took my windows out today, sounded like a nuke had landed on my lap.

WOW is the best way to describe these speakers. If your looking to break all the glass in your house then look no further. An ear melting 250W these speakers are an audiophiles dream. If you like music/parting or both these speakers are for you. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK Wharfedale
