Dentons

Hi there! I also like the Denton 80th, even if they don't have the most neutral sound and some other shortcomings. One of those is that they have some noticeable directivity errors from about 600Hz upwards (mids, upper mids) all the way into the highest treble regions (20kHz). See frequency response

i heard that wharfedale’s and mcintosh don’t pair well though, i might be wrong. also the space constraints are affecting my decisions. I think only the super denton’s would fit

The Wharfedale Denton 80's sensitivity is 86dB. It takes twice as much power (watts) to increase the output by 3dB. So the the Wharfedale takes 2 watts to output 89, 4w for 92, and 8 watts to output 95dB. Compare that to the sensitivity ratings of the Klipschs. Yes, it makes a big difference.
