Wharfedale Diamond 10.1 speakers (Walnut Pearl)

Product Information

compared to a lower max handling speaker. Loudness or the sound level is also impacted by parameters The cabinets feel substantial and robust. Affordable they may be but Wharfedale has clearly channelledas much of the cost as possible into their construction – a foundationon which good sound quality is always built. As for the Diamond 12 Series’ treble unit? It has a 25mm dome made from a woven polyester film with a high gloss coating. The front plate is flat and exposes the dome as much as possible.

We are confident we have a speaker model to match every taste, requirement and budget, and we are here to offer advice on what speakers are right for you and your hi-fi system. Diamond 10 Series, Wharfedale has again raised the bar for affordable, high performance loudspeakers Both Diamond 12.1 and Diamond 12.0 features dual binding post speaker terminals for bi-amping or bi-wiring. The downside is that now I want to upgrade the rest of the home theatre speakers! I love the way the Wharfedale Diamond 10.1 sound and they are plenty good for the use I make of them (playing music in the living room and now watching movies; not too loud because I have neighbours upstairs) so I'd like to keep them and get speakers that fit with them. So who is it then? Well, if you’re a fan of Q Acoustic designs or you have heard designs like the 3020i and 3030i and liked those then you will also be expressing admiration for the designer, German-based Karl Heinz Fink. Karl was effectively the launch designer for the Q Acoustic brand but left Q Acoustic around two years ago, give or take. Karl, who also runs his own high-end design company called Fink Team for his own branded speakers, has been working with Wharfedale of late and is the brains behind the Diamond 12 series.

Equally for low frequency analysis twin reflec ports extend bass to below 45 Hz and have been re-positioned on the rear of the cabinet to reduce the effects of audible distortion.

Cost-conscious British audiophiles have traditionally gravitated to a handful of well-known brands offering lots of sound-per-pound. One of these is Wharfedale, and since 1982 that means its Diamond series of small standmounters in particular. But designing, building and distributing loudspeakers in this particular market sector is no easy task, so the new Diamond 12 range has its work cut out. And what hit me first? Tonal balance! Tonal balance all over the place from the Diamonds. It was quite an event. Valdus-Big and massive, really good if you want loud speakers that aren't very detailed but can play at ludicrous decibel levels but without clipping. The Wharfedale Diamond range speakers need little introduction - the Diamond range has had almost three decades of supremacy and has received numerous international awards and sold over 1 million pairs worldwide. Award Winning This tonal balance gives the delivery a sense of maturity while also adding a layering effect to the arrangement. You feel that, now bass has been properly integrated into the music, subtle aspects of the soundstage are now better formed and solidified. Easily recognisable, in effect. This enhances the transparency because even shy areas of the music have a more confident air about them.Wharfedale is Britans oldest Loudspeaker manufacturer that has been around sinece the 1930's. So they have made many, many speakers over the decades; some real gems and some dogs. So it all depends on which ones people, as you say, are referring to.
