Just to update the thread, we bought a pair of Wharfedale LX12 Wedges after reviewing the MP4's, and I concur that the LX blew the MP's away. The bigger tweeter really makes for nice monitoring. The LX is designed as a proper wedge.. horn on top for close up monitoring. So a trade off is that we can't use it as a small FOH speaker as aposed to MP4's. Also the thing to note is that the LX series is Wharfedale's flagship product. For the price, IMHO its unbeatable. We will be buying a few more pairs in the near future.
I will say this, if I had the budget I would have gone the JBL SRX, and I say that because that was just in a class of its own in comparison to lx and MP's, but obviously because MP's aren't the flagship product of JBL then they have been purposely 'dumbed' down to meet a price point and are still relatively expensive for what they offer. The LX is the best Wharfedale could do and obviously they wouldn't want their best to reflect badly upon their ability.
Thanx for all the feedback guys. I also tested the Yammies.. and they sounded awesome but it was under powered for my purpose, and for a lower price I could get the the LX's which sounded equally as good, as clear and MUCH louder. Also the sound wasn't coloured with in the LX's in comparison. Yammies I found need'd some eq' to flatten out.. but that's no drama.. once done.. set and forget..
Our LX's have been on road now for 2 months and not one complaint yet, except for the silly way in which its carpet has been pasted on there is a weak point near the front base where the carpet begins to upon up if your wedges do a bit of side on travelling like mine. Nothing a bit of Gaffa couldn't look after.. We are driving them with a crown K2 amplifier.
