A few weeks ago I ordered a complete Wharfedale set. Everything I ordered was on backorder. Almost everything is in and the DFS surround speakers should be in Tuesday.
I did receive an e-mail saying the Powercube 12 has been recalled. Apparently they have a really high defect rate and Wharfedale is redesigning them. The new design is not going to be available until mid June.
They offered to substitute a JBL PB12 subwoofer witch I already have. The PB12 I already have will be installed in another room when the other set arrives. So I am still in the market for another sub woofer.
My question is should I take the PB12 or wait for the Powercube 12 from Wharfedale? A a rule of thumb I try to keep everything the same brand for tonal balance. This is usually not an issue with sub woofers however except in extreme cases. Crossover points is a bigger issue and the PB12 is fully adjustable.
