I'm quite intrigued by the Wharfedale Evo4 and the Arendal 1723 THX. For use mainly for movies as my LCR which one is the better choice? In my country I have no way to audition them so I just have to rely on reviews and suggestions.

We found that to have a narrow sweet spot and not that it was bad, but we didn't like it as much as the Linton Heritage for instance. The Arendal I've never heard, but as a loudspeaker engineer I do like waveguide-loaded tweeters. Then again I like separate or coax midrange...especially for the center, to avoid dispersion problems. I can say Focal 936 are really lovely, have those in one system. I also spent some hours with the Monitor Audio Silver 300 and was very impressed.
