you might surmise it's a pretty good little speaker.
The NAD amps are quite capable of driving most speakers very well.
I've linked the Soundstage NRC measurements below.
Here is the URL for JA's measurement results for Stereophile.

Robert J. Reina reviewed the Wharfedale Diamond 10.1 and you can find JA's measurements at this URL:

There is a broad hump from about 100-250 Hz, and quite good dispersion.

There's not much at the price level that is very capable.Sure you can use it to listen to music, why not, but in terms of preference there's just a myriad of things ... depends on your means ... he's not likely getting paid much, and does he go to school?
They're not even my favorite, for that matter there's really nothing they put out currently that interests me ... you know they top out at Synchrony One, they're practically a Big Box store player these days.
That said I would love to lay ears on Platinum T8 towers (discontinued).

Being lighthearted, no actual argument is intended.
Lots of people listen to inexpensive speakers, and some of them are pretty good, quite listenable on a lot of music.
I have listened to both the PSB Synchrony One and the Platinum T8 at different times. I thought the T8 was a very good speaker, but I thought the Synchrony One was really first class.
I could live with the Synchrony Series speakers but there are other speakers I prefer, though I wouldn't say they are necessarily better.

Of course not, God forbid you could ever commit to a judgement LOL

I did make a judgment and bought the Paradigm Signature S2. There is such a thing as personal preference.
