Product Description

Product Description
The Atlantic series is a powerhouse of music. Exceptional sensitivity means that every ounce of musical detail is conveyed to the listener. The AT-200 is the perfect replacement speaker for mini or midi systems. In most cases the compromises have been made in the loudspeakers supplied with such systems and the performance of the system can be vastly improved by replacing just the speakers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great set of speakers, September 17, 2001

By	Alex "alex_jellison" (Wrangell, AK USA) - See all my reviews

Well I've never heard much of wharfedale before so read up on them and found they were excellent quality. And this might be part of their lower line of speakers, but they suprised me. They're plenty loud, sound great. Have a lot of bass, though not enough for bass heads. Can't really think of anything bad about these speakers, you might want a sub if you like a lot of bass. I have a sub hooked up with my system, and I don't even use it any more unless watching movies. They do need some breaking in before they'll sound their best. Usually about 50 hours. It'll make a big difference. All in all these speakers are perfect.

5.0 out of 5 stars Follow up on earlier review, February 25, 2002

By	Alex Jellison (USA) - See all my reviews

I've had these speakers for a few months now and I'm still impressed with them. I have them hooked up to a 100w/channel pioneer amp and they sound heavenly. The sound of these speakers is very accurate, but a little lacking in midrange for me. Jazz lovers would like these speakers for how smooth and accurate they sound, and rock listeners would love them cause they're loud and sound great. The only drawback is that these speakers are made to sound accurate, not loaded with bass to shake the floor. But paired with a subwoofer the results are outstanding, even just a small one to reveal the deeper bass. These speakers keep getting louder and louder and sound better with high volumes. All in all I think these speakers are perfect and more people should check out this brand. They make some of the best stuff, and this is their lowest line of speakers, but has some of the technology of their more pricy speakers and it shows. Great buy and worth much more than the price here.

5.0 out of 5 stars Warm & accurately-detailed sound, May 8, 2003

By	Piyush Khanna (Bangalore, India) - See all my reviews

I have been using these speakers for the past 1 and 1/2 years now. I've hooked them up with a Harman Kardon AVR15 Dolby Pro Logic receiver, Pioneer DVD player, and finally added additional Wharfedale WH2 Dipoles & WH2 Centre about 6 months back. No Sub-woofer. All connections are Monster Cables. I usually like good bass in a system, but have been so satisfied with the deep, warm, natural sound of the speakers that I decided to forego the sub-woofer, even though the AT200s don't have hard-hitting bass. The soundstaging & ambient details are clean & accurate. These speakers, though quite inexpensive, handle most frequencies fed to them effortlessly, never sounding pressurized at any stage. Recommend them anytime.
