Summary: Wonderful Sound
Review: A little bigger than other bookshelf speakers so you can't exactly hide these, but the sound is wonderful, rich, detailed and good low frequency... perhaps not the best for rock or rap, but perfect for anything else. AND they are as good looking as any speakers I have seen, with a pleasing vintage style

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: better than my ears
Review: First, i think they're maple not oak, but in any case, and it is the first point, they are beautiful. "veneer" does not do them justice. This is furniture.
More important is the sound. I had some very fine and now 22 year old EPI speakers which i thought were wonderful. They were but some things are finer.I was reluctant to buy speakers online without listening, but the reviews and good price made me take the chance. They are as good as 350$ each bookshelf speakers i've listened to. They have great power handling capacity (if you value your and your neighbours eardrums).
Tonight i have listened to Mozart wind concertos(or as we cognescenti say, concerti), Richard Thompson, and Buddy Guy. The only objection i have to these speakers is that the bass can sound a little punchy on the classical stuff. But honestly, this may have to more to do with the acoustics of my living room( beaucoup de wood, no carpet) than the speakers themselves.
I ruined my ears before i loved anything but blues, but these speakers, at this price are great.
And by the way the EPI's are doing great service as rear speakers for surround.

AGAIN, SO FAR THIS SPEAKER IS BETTER THAN THE POLK'S I USED AND I JUST LOVE THE CABINET. GREAT DEAL OF SPEAKER FOR LESS MONEY AND TO THINK THIS IS A BOOKSHELF SPEAKER!!!

Review: how my god!, such unbelivable sound!, if heaven had a sound system it would surly use this speakers. I use them in my home studio, and my music never sounded better. It produce such accurate and precise sound for every music gener. defently Worth the money for this sound quality. They also got a very beautiful and classic look that will look just great in any part of your house.

Summary: Great bargain!
Review: I bought these for a second stereo in the bedroom. After giving them a good listen, I may replace the main ones! They are very acurate, great low end for such a small speaker, and an overall warm, detailed sound. Very pleased.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: a new experience
Review: I have lived with KLH and Klipsch for many years. Recently I upgraded my sound system and blew a (brittle) KLH. I replaced the KLH's with Warfedale and was born again. A great, beautiful and sparkling sound. Do yourself a favor and do the same. A wonderful bargain on Amazon!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Emerald 93 Excellent value
Review: I have spend considerable amounts of time in audiophile boutiques in various parts of the country and been astounded by some of he pricing involved in stereo equipment. These speakers are easily the best "value for money" I have purchased in a long time. They are beautiful finely crafted solid speakers with a sound quality that is clear, transparant, yet very warm. If you guard your budget carefully and aim to stretch your dollar for audiophile quality- then this is your speaker. Enjoy. HFG.
