Hmmmmmm
to trust the judgement of my own ears, or an opinion of someone on the internet. What to do, what to do.

sarcasm or wharfedale, sarcasm or wharfedale
the sarcasm is definitely preferable...the reason you are trusting your own ears is possibly because you don't have something else to compare it to. I thought my old soundsystem was sweet and indeed, all who heard it were impressed.....then i ditched the shitty receiver amp and bought a NAD 316, very modest by all accounts, but fuck me, what a difference in sound, power, imaging, absolutely everything...then i upgraded my mission speakers with a pair of B&W 602's and then it all made sense...albums i had had for years suddenly burst with new life and vigour, power, control, smugness where all mine to behold.

my brother in law has wharfedales....utter shite, as i said before. sorry, but it is true

You can be as sorry as you like
but it simply isn't true. My Wharfdales sound fantastic. I have a pair of Fostex active Monitors which I use for recording and they also sound great.

I can't remember off the top of my head
I seem to recall them being Opus, but I can't find a picture of them on the internet to compare. They are about ten years old, and have a tweeter that actually protudes above the main cabinet and you can rotate it (a gimmick really, I've never rotated them)
