wharfedales can say that, the diamonds have a history of being the best value for money loudspeakers on the market for afew years now (diamond 9 especially), granted the monitor audios are also very good, but its subjective as they have completely different sounds, the MA's are far more aggresive sounding than wharfedales which are more laid back and perhaps boring to some. they do compete directly with one another and it comes down to what you like
