#90 Wharfedale Denton 80th Anniversary: $599 per pair Wharfedale USA eBay
Same family: the Wharfedale Super Denton (larger bookshelf, ranked higher, rated 4/5), the Wharfedale Linton 85 (larger bookshelf, rated 4.3/5) and the Wharfedale Super Linton (larger bookshelf, rated 4.4/5).
Pros: Handsome real-wood cabinetry and a relaxed compact-speaker format are backed by useful 55Hz measured extension. Its local Spinorama score improves from 2.48 to 5.00 with a subwoofer, and the broad dispersion is friendly to more than one listener. Measured bass extension of 71.8Hz (-3dB).
Cons: Response smoothness and directivity consistency are only average, limiting how completely EQ can correct it. At 86dB specified sensitivity it also needs more amplifier power than its vintage appearance may suggest, and deeper bass still benefits from a subwoofer.
