What do you think of the quality of the Wharfedale Diamond 8 Series ??

I was led to a retailer who has them...

For almost the same price of the Infinity Primus HSC set

http://international.infinitysystems.com/homeaudio/products/category/primushcs_series.asp?language=ENGLISH

...I can get :

1- Wharfedale Diamond 8.1 pair for FRONTs ( or Diamond 8.4 pair for Double their price..he he..)

2- Diamond 8 center

3- Diamond DFS Bi-Pole surrounds ( or Wharfedale Diamond 8.1 pair )

4- Wharfedale 8A for a SUB...

Any thoughts??

I have no experience with the Infinity's, however I currently run Wharfedale Diamond 8's all round :

Front - Diamond 8.3
Centre - Diamond Centre
Surround - Diamond 8.1
Sub - Wharfedale Topaz (acctually died yesterday so I'm looking to replace)

I find the Diamond 8's very good considering ther relatively low price... very good tonal matching for movies and the 8.3's are great for music - plenty of bass without the need for a sub (enough fo me anyway)

I would not recommend the Topaz sub, however the Powercube is by all accounts much better.

I don't think you would be disappointed with the Diamonds at all.
