1) Anyone have opinions on this speaker? I would either use for rear surrounds in big room or front mains in small room (both with subs). I want a medium/small speaker that looks good (not black, gray or metal/plastic). Not too expensive.
Wharfdale 70th Anniversary edition of the Diamond 8.1 bookshelf speaker with upgraded bi-wire / bi-amp binding post terminals and finished in genuine rosewood veneer
5.25" Self-damping, bidirectional woven-Kevlar woofer, drive units with ultra-smooth phase plugs, 1" dome tweeter. Double-wound, vented voice coils on bass/mid drivers; bi-wirable, gold-plated terminals
Wired internally with premium Monster Cable XP speaker cable.
Is this Kevlar woofer a gimmick or a good thing?
2) JBL E10
I don't need a speaker such as this at the moment, but was just wondering if it would make a good rear surround for wall mountable applications? First off, it is wall mountable (with keyhole hanger). It has that bi-polar look but has only front firing speakers. However, it has ports on each angled side. How much sound would come from those ports? Would it be enough for a diffuse effect similar to a typical wall mounted bi-polar speaker that has twin sets of speakers angled outwards?
