Larzooo Posted February 1 Posted February 1 Hey all, I recently picked up this pair of Whatmough floor stand speakers but for all my googling and crawling over the internet, I can't seem to find what model they are or any other helpful information about them. I was hoping that this community might know a few things about the brand. Thanks!
Darryl Posted February 3 Posted February 3 Hey Adam, I see you haven't had any replies. I'm not going to be able to tell you anything either I'm afraid. @Whatmough Audio is a member although hasn't been active for years by the looks. Maybe they'll get a notification from this tag. 1
Hi-Fi Whipped Posted February 3 Posted February 3 I'm not a Whatmough expert but I've kept an eye on their models over the years, is there a chance that these are fakes? The crooked logo on the front and the lack of specification stickers on the speakers could be telling. 2
Larzooo Posted February 3 Author Posted February 3 Yep I was thinking they could be fakes. Sound quality is pretty impressive. I was hoping not given I thought the brand was somewhat niche but will run it by some local audio experts too. thanks 1

Larzooo Posted February 3 Author Posted February 3 I bought these from a seller recently who had inherited these from a deceased estate. I attempted to power these with a low watt amplifier to see if they work at small volumes and they sound nice. I was planning to get a receiver tomorrow to double check the quality at higher volume output.

In my initial reply I had typed that they look like white van speakers to me, but I deleted it in case Whatmough read it and got offended! But yeah, I think they might be white van speakers with Whatmough badges. 2
