The price ranges from 100 bucks or so up to $35,000+
That said I will assume here that you are referring to the reference line which is priced about like these.
The currently on sale for $450 a pair Rp-600m & Rp-600mII Monitors are smaller than these Wharfedale's.
The Floor Standing Rp-6000 & Rp-8000 are about the same price but a bit larger (of course the Wharfedale stands are huge.)
Personally I would got for the Klipsch Rp line as mentioned above.
I have the Wharfedale's and the Rp-600 here and I do prefer the Klipsch speaker despite a vast price difference. The Wharfedales have more and deeper bass but any decent subwoofer is going to match or beat that. They are not super dynamic and they have a tweeter/top end that is sorta meh. What I mean by that is it is not very detailed nor is it very refined/rich.
The Klipsch speakers have a more uneven frequency response but not that much more uneven than the Wharfedales. They have a narrow dispersion sound that interacts less with room and that can be nice with certain recording and with others wide dispersion is going to be 'better'. As personal tastes will factor in here. The top end is lifted but due to narrow dispersion is about right and you can sit off axis and/or turn the treble down a db or 2 to further match your tastes. The Klipsch speakers have excellent directivity which means that off axis sound matches on axis very well and thus they can be accurately eq'd and adjusted. Also the tonally matching off axis sound is important for other reasons.
Neither the klipsch nor the Wharfedale is my 1st choice but that said both are very very decent with the nod in my world going to Klipsch. The new Rp-600mII is supposed to be a tiny bit better yet than the Rp-600m that I using. So in that case even more nod toward Klipsch.
If you actually want to drop $1500 and want my 1st choice picks grab a Pair of B-stock Revel M106's or a set of B-stock JBL l82's. If you like very refined and beautiful sound (which is what I think Wharfedale was aiming for but slightly missed), you could also save up $500 more and buy the curved cabinet Philharmonic Audio BMR monitors which in my world are far superior to the Wharfedale's.(the Wharfedale's can play deeper bass at higher volumes though)
Of course many love these Wharfedales so maybe that is it for you.

On top of being objectively 'good' they are also, subjectively, great looking speakers.

Newegg has the RP-160m for $199 a pair, and the RP-800f for $297 ea.
Pedigree isn't everything
These are much more laid back natural whereas Klipsch is more up front in your face.
I agree with greenwich these aren't designed with movie/tv watching in mind.
The quality & type of your music content plays a role here.
These are good sounding speakers but so are all the others comparable options in its price range. Which one is better would be a personal choice after listening.
I would say if you like to sit down in a room and listen to two channel music using say records these would be something to consider.
If you want something more versatile, you might want to keep looking.
They also are not very efficient speakers.
