I LOVE LOVE LOVE my powered Wharfedales!!! LOVE THEM!

Such bottom end response and crisp highs....100w each and I bought them on sale in 2009 for $129 each, down from $169. AND, originally I wanted the 8.1 model because I didn't care if I had the bigger woofer or not. The store I was ordering from only had 1 of them available. The order kid suggested I buy 2 of the 8.2 model, and I said that even that slightly higher price put them out of my budget, and I really didn't want mismatched monitors, so he sold me a pair of the 8.2 at the 8.1 sale price to make the sale.

They are great.
