It's always nice to have an affirmation of your product's performance from the pro's. It doesn't get much more "pro" than Tom Norton.

Other Excellent Reviews about Wharfedale Jade5 & Jade1 speakers.
“Conclusion. How to put it without gushing? Let’s try this. When a speaker manages to have me seriously contemplate selling my treasured Magnat Quantum, it must have made quite an impression, yes?”
Psych profile of Wharfedale’s Jade 5…
- Impresses with cast-in-concrete low bass without boom or control issues.
- Displays proper timing top to bottom despite using four drivers.
- Casts a large very airy stage.
- Handles voices and acoustic instruments very realistic and silken. This does require proper burn-in.
- Is blessed with accurate impulsive mids which inject a certain freshness and presence without feeling artificially emphasized.
- Gets a bit round on top without suggesting loss of anything vital. More treble resolution is possible elsewhere.
- Very easy to place.
- Exemplary fit ‘n’ finish in this price class.
Another review:
“Pitting Brit against Brit, I do find the Jade 1 to be somewhat comparable to Bowers & Wilkins' new PM1 bookshelf loudspeaker that I recently raved about. While the PM1 retails for $2,800, or more than double the Jade 1's asking price… the two are more evenly matched in the performance sector than even I was prepared to believe, which only cements the Jade 1's value proposition in my book.”
“The Jade 1 bookshelf speaker from venerable manufacturer Wharfedale at $1,199 is an achievement that is difficult to put into words, except to say it's brilliant.”
