I just bought myself this new subwoofer, Wharfedale D10, and would like to share my thoughts with you here on my blog.
The reasons why I bought this subwoofer from Wharfedale was that my old Argon Subwoofer was starting making all kind of strange noises. I wanted a small sub with a decent sound for a recently budget and I thought that the Wharfedale D10 Sub was fulfilling just that goal. I mainly wanted a subwoofer because I love watching action movies and with a good subwoofer connected to my Denon receiver the movies will get some extra life.
First thoughts about Wharfedale D10
I have had my new Subwoofer for a couple of weeks now and it is for sure a nice upgrade to my old Argon Bass10 subwoofer. It gives the moves a nice depth that I was looking for. I have been testing my new sub with movies like Independence Day, Apollo 13, Saving Private Ryan, Avatar and Braveheart and my new subwoofer is for sure giving my movies that extra sound I was hoping for 🙂
