Are the Diamonds really a good bet for the money?
4 8.1s a center channel and a sub?
ARe there other speakers to consider for a 5.1 set up using a 50 watt HK receiver? |

They are pretty good - the ones with kevlar woofers. Another one you might want to consider is the www.ascendacoustics.com They got raving reviews and are reasonably priced - since they sell direct, cutting out the middleman, they can offer more quality for the buck.
You can try it for 30 days and return them. |

Thank you James. I have never heard of these speakers, or heard them, but they are certainly very reasonably priced. Have you listened to them? |

the wharfedales are very nice speakers but they are power hungry and not very efficient. You need a more robust receiver or power amp to drive them, driven by the right equipment they are hard to beat.
Now the ascend acoustics are a totally different matter, they have a very nice staging quality and should match well with your HK.
