Do you remember your first pair of loudspeakers? The Ryan R speakers were not my first but I would be okay with them being the last pair I ever own. I remember lugging a pair of Celestion Ditton 33 MK II loudspeakers upstairs from our living room in and feeling the burn in my arms. These chunky bookshelf speakers were a 3-way design with a new type of super tweeter and ring compression driver.
Not that hard to drive but definitely on the cooler side from a tonal perspective. The Celestion were 35 pounds and extremely inert. A Yamaha CA integrated amplifier drove them for almost 10 years, and I still remember watching a clumsy mover drop them accidentally on 62 nd Street in New York City. Almost verbatim. Wharfedale have tapped into that segment of the market who love larger bookshelf loudspeakers with their best-selling Linton Heritage speakers and there is a lot to love about the design and their creative stands that must be considered mandatory.
Multiple pairs of Wharfedale loudspeakers are glaring at me right now in my home office; the recently reviewed Diamond The Ryan Rs are not new loudspeakers but they remain in production and have flown under the radar for almost 6 years; a circumstance that I find utterly ridiculous. At Use both hands when placing on your speaker stands or you will be sorry. Regardless of how you set them up, ensure that the stand or base that they sit on is quite inert.

I do own multiple sets of IsoAcoustics speaker stands which allow you to place bookshelf loudspeakers on a media unit or desktop — but I found that they did not improve the sound in a way that I liked; the Ryan Rs can be ruthlessly revealing depending on the rest of the system and the stands made them sound too cool for my liking. It took a lot of amplifier swapping to get the sound where I wanted it. The Ryan R speakers need at least two feet from the wall behind them.
The 6. The design of the woofers motor and suspension was perfected using the Klippel Distortion Analyzer. Klippel must be very proud. Ryan has gone old school with the tweeter by applying a felt ring to the front surface of the tweeter; it looked odd at first, but it does help to minimize early reflections and the proof is in the listening. I have run them with 8 watts of SET amplification and while the sound quality was divine, they ran out of gas very quickly.
They definitely sound better with more power and they certainly need an amplifier with meat on the bones. My first thought was to suggest a pair of Schiit Audio Aegir monoblock amplifiers which will deliver more than enough power and the right tonal balance, but then you need a pre-amp, streamer, DAC, and multiple sets of cables. I have 3, albums organized on Roon and have 2 server suggestions that will work really well with the amplifier.
Midrange resolution that puts a lot more expensive loudspeakers to shame. The Ryan Rs are for people who desperately want to imagine that the vocalist is in the room with them, but that has to include scale, imaging, and a very airy sounding treble that never gets hard.
With a warm sounding amplifier, these loudspeakers can be downright spooky good. If you listen to techno, synth-pop, classical, jazz, blues, and pop — these speakers can create some very memorable moments. The No. Just eat. Definitely not kosher. I will deny ever eating in this L. Someone had to do it. So much flavor. So much humanity. But as already mentioned i found it much simpler to use a fine bladed hacksaw to cut a slot in a cheap x16 card than to open mod a x8 slot or buy a costly x1 or x8 card Attempt 2 was a success.
I had used a hack saw blade to start off and then used my soldering iron to melt and remove the excess plastic. Browse Community.
