Wharfedale brings back the speaker kits for DIY thats fucking insane !!! i was looking trough a book a week ago where many brand had these kits, Wharfedal,Kef,Philips, Monacor, etc i said jees those where times, making people want to make things themselfs and get into the hobby !! LOVE they took the leap to re introduce these !!
wharfedale concept is absolutely fabulous. Wharfdale sound + custom aesthetic finish and save on international shipping.
What I'd want is a kit for the high end Dovedale speaker, as I can't afford the finished product!
John, I have always appreciated the different approach you take to storytelling in your videos. However, this episode takes that to a different level.
I really liked the way you moderated the coverage introducing each small segment. That combined with your B-Roll featuring the show centre, traveling around Munich, and cameo appearances by some friends we all know, resulted in a much more personal delivery than the norm.
Well done! ……schnitzel
SChnitzel! You're the bomb John! Best show coverage I've seen - engaging, interesting and entertaining. Nice!
Schnitzel! It was a pleasure meeting you at High End 2024!
I watched , I drooled ….I’m ok now ….
The fact that these systems exist makes me happy.
This video had some great shots/interviews and editing. Wow!!! Remarkable work thank you for keeping that bar raised. 💪💪 Makes me wish I was there.
Great summary of the show John and yes, I watched to the end :) Look forward to SW interview
I worked in Munich for a long time, by the transport Museum. I loved it there, wonderful beer garden by our office. The Wiim streamer with the screen looks interesting due to its price.
The speaker kit looks a great idea,
Schnitzel ! Loved the part with the designer/engineer from Chord. It's good to know someone is thinking about these things and searches for solutions.
Schnitzel!
But also: what a great move from Peter Comeau to (re)introduce kit-version loudspeakers! Hopefully more brands will follow this great idea, just as it was not uncommon in the 80’s and 90’s when respected brands like Kef, Focal and Dynaudio offered parts or kits for the diy community, what great days those were…
What the schnitzel? … I’ve been looking forward to this episode from Munich High End! … being from Canadia 🇨🇦 it is unfortunately too far away for me to attend. So many amazing pieces, it would almost be overwhelming. Thanks again for another entertaining video.! Cheers!!
Excellent report ... love the updated retro stuff !!
Thank you very much Mr. Darko, although I have not been able to watch the live Munich High End audio show but the video you made is very entertaining me in Jakarta Indonesia, again thank you very much
Holy schnitzel! that Quad gear was DROOL! 🤤
Oh my, the RD160 is gorgeous! Really stands out compared to other HiFi design 😮
Brilliant report, thanks so much and looking forward to the SW interview soon
Great video. Your video editing ability is to be commended!
Great vid, loved the product subject matter and informative interviews, looking forward to the Steve Wilson vid, cheers, oh and Schnitzel!
Schnitzel! You are the only one to cover the speakers kits. So thankful I watched
Nice selection of interesting subjects! Many thanks! Schnitzel! ❤
Schnitzel.. great video! can't wait to see what's in store! :)
There were so many listening rooms, it was incredible. Just being there for one day one could only scratch the surface. Still cool to see the pictures again and the best video on the high end I've seen so far. Thanks for the tip, the high end was not on my radar, but it was truly enjoyable.
Schnitzel and out.
Did NOT know about the DIY wharfedale kit - fantastic! So happy about that, would love to see more from other manufacturers
Thanks for putting in the steps and report of the Munich show. I compared your video with my on-site experience to this year’s Axponia. Some similarity but I appreciated your take on to be released products.
Nice show coverage ❤
Schnitzel on its way to say great video!
BTW, great idea from Wharfedale!
I think you are the only Hifi CZcamsr I really watch because of you Hifi-gear and music taste. It is really refreshing if somebody is not focusing on these fridge like bombastic enclosures where you are always under the impression you pay per Kg like for Aufschnitt. And you live long enough in Germany if you know what SchniPoSchranke is. 😢
Schnitzel! Really interesting show coverage, thank you
Schnitzel...love the Quad combo, great insights, John. Thanks
Schnitzel and poodle, loved it. Very nice little surprise with that Quad set in the end. Awesome!
Thank you, John!
❤ Thanks mate, great vid as always.
Loved the Quad piece !
Was wondering about the wrist bands too …
Schnitzel!
Been waiting to hear about the Chord Quartet, well done!
That Dynaudio powered stand looks AMAZING!
Really interested in the end segment about the new 33/303 as an existing Quad owner is lovely to see and I bet they will sell truck loads, brilliant video as always.
Schnitzel - Loved your video, Great to see my friend Vinnie Rossi in it as well, have not been to Munich Hi End since 2014, so it was a treat!
Big fat Schnitzel from me! 😂
Quad 33 looks lovely!
Thanks John. Lovely video. Schnitzel.
Schnitzel
Great work!!
Looking forward to that future Musical Fidelity A1 review!!
Great coverage! Schnitzel!
It was a pleasure meeting you there 😃 thanks for your entertaining videos 🎉
Enjoyable tour ! Thanks !
Ok, I love what Wharfedale is doing with the kit speaker. Bravo. Hope it comes out soon because I'll buy it.
Schnitzel, I really loved the show your videos are fantastic, its was also a pleasure meeting in person thanks
@31:26 He totally side stepped the question of edge diffraction. Perhaps he doesn't really know what it is. He seems to be saying that the quality of the craftsmanship is more important than the physics of the enclosure design.
Great vid, great report! Really loved the reborn Quad 33/306 combo; hope they'll be sounding great also. Viel München Schnitzeln!
The server kits this year....amazing designs. That Quad presentation was exceptional.
John, very glad you made the clearly considerable effort to produce a report with such high production values. Too quality video. Thank you.
Schnitzel, by the way
great summary, and I do love the look of those Quads!
John, great video. I've never been to an audio show or Munich but I may try to do both in the not-to-distant future. Good work.
Thanks for this longer vid. more of these
Yep JD, I watched to the very end, thank you for bringing us this presentation.
Schnitzel! Great video and fun to see some Grimm product snippets!
Schnitzel - loved the video

Definitely the best show coverage video I have ever seen. Thanks for putting the hard work in, John. It shows.
NIcely done as always John.
Thank you for this coverage video! Schnitzel!
Schnitzel, John. Wonderful show report!
Schnitzel. Well done. I would have been stunned by the offerings!!
Pizza 🍕 😜 hope Wiim Ultra makes it to Darko HQ 👍 looking forward to SW interview 👍 i tried Plexamp for music since you have mentioned it alot in the past. We didn’t end up being friends but Roon Arc look more and more interesting so goid sponsor of this video
Schniztel. Always a pleasure sir.
Schnitzel! Very cool stuff John, thank you. I do feel a bit like that wee dog at the end though, just a bit overwhelming.
Schnitzel
Just saw Terry! Great review thanks John!
The Quad pre+power combo looks amazing.
Woot, ahh missed your articulate presentations as well as the fine editing. Still quality as hell. Love the DIY layout. Fine work. Hi fi Rose seems interesting at first blush. schnitzel
Schnitzel. You packed a load of very interesting products in, loved the video.
Love the cosmetics of the Quad gear. Wow.
Schnitzel- riffic!! Thanks for your coverage

Schnitzel. Thanks as always John.
Thanks John. I would to see more you review one of those Dynaudio speakers
Nicely Done.
Schnitzel John, loving your videos since you started mate, sending love from Perth WA..
These people's mastery of English is very impressive. Schnitzel !!!
A brilliantly refreshing look at HIGH END and the two small things from Chord Electronics!
Great videos :-)
Love the Quad
Ive built the original unit 3 and unit 5 kits. The unit 3 is built as a super linton and unit 5 as a dovedale.
I love my collection of vintage wharfedales.
My main living room speskers are a set of w70d rosedales. Great speakers with 96db sensitivey. Sound great with early solid state and tubes.
Great Vid ! thanks John, can't wait to get my hands on the new Wiim Ultra. The Wiim rep made no mention of its headphone amp ? i'll be curious to see how it preforms.
Schnitzel. Very enjoyable, thanks.
Really dig the aesthetics and design of the HiFi Rose DAC's display. Just lovely.
I wish you would cover Meridian.
Schnitzel. Great round up.
Shnitzelicious stuff John. Cheers from Los Angeles 🍻
Schnitzel until the end ;). Nice video and nice products you showed us here. Keep up the good work.
Thanks.
Schnitzel, please. And more Lavorgna!
Schnitzel. Well done sir 👍🏻
Schnitzel. Nice review!
Love the Kraftwerk reference (and Schnitzel)
Schneitzel, love your attitude towards HiFi John 👌🏽🎶
Schnitzel. Thanks John, some interesting stuff there, love the look of the Quad, the Arcams sound interesting. I know you and many others were very impressed with the NAD but it just didn’t tickle my sound signature pickle.
i like to see more of these type music travel videos by you. thanks.
Schnitzel. Really like your videos.
Did they say how much the furniture colab dynaudio would be? Or did I miss that one in the video? Really like the look of it!
Schnitzel!! Can't wait for the Steven Wilson video, recently bought "The Harmony Codex on vinyl and CD wow! Just wow, what a sensational album from the legend.
THANKS JOHN 🤗 FOR DOING ALL THE EXTRA WORK 😥FOR US,NOW WATCHING THIS 😬💚💚💚😊😊
