In the early 1980s, Wharfedale created the blueprint for modern 'budget' hi-fi speakers when it made the first-ever DIAMOND. Through successive generations, the Wharfedale DIAMOND has remained the most famous name in budget hi-fi speakers worldwide. The launch of a new DIAMOND range is always a major hi-fi event and this campaign will introduce the latest generation of DIAMOND loudspeakers to the world.The Wharfedale DIAMOND line is "one of the most successful speaker ranges of all time" (according to What Hi-Fi?). It's also one of the most enduring - there have been Wharfedale DIAMOND speakers on the market for the past 38 years, updated from one generation to the next.Many DIAMOND models have won awards over the years - since the turn of the millennium, the DIAMOND 8 Series, DIAMOND 9 Series, DIAMOND 10 Series and DIAMOND 200 Series have all yielded What Hi-Fi? Award-winners.But the all new DIAMOND 12 Series is the best DIAMOND range yet! Developed in collaboration with Karl-Heinz Fink - one of the most successful loudspeaker designers on the planet. Classic DIAMOND price points, industrial design that's cool and contemporary yet still distinctly Wharfedale, and sound that delivers a new 'budget' benchmark through exceptional acoustic design and engineering.Key FeaturesKlarity Affords FocusNEW Klarity cone material, formulate from a blend of Polypropylene and mica adds stiffness to reduce flexing, enabling a lightweight cone with high rigidity, low coloration and lightning-fast responseLow Color and ExpressionThe Klarity cone is fitted with a low-damping surround, thereby achieving both low coloration and expressive dynamics. By simulating many different cone shapes and adding ribs to provide further stiffening, a flat response curve was achieved without resorting to a high-damping surround, thereby striking the ideal balance.A Magnet of ForcesA precision-made magnet system with an aluminum compensation ring to minimise the effect of variations in inductance as the voice coil travels. This contributes to an absence of distortion and intermodulation generated by the 'motor system'.A Voice Coil Beyond this ClassThe voice coil is wound on a high-power epoxy/glass fiber bobbin-highly unusual in speakers at this price level. This has the advantage of not adding eddy currents and delivering greater power handling than an aluminum bobbin, whilst also being much stiffer than the Kapton type associated with this price-class.DIAMOND HighsThe 25mm dome is made from a woven polyester film with a high-loss coating to deliver open and smoothly extended high frequencies. The magnet system and the front plate have been optimised for wide dispersion and uncompressed behaviour. The front plate is flat and exposes the dome as much as possible; only a very short duct on the front plate balances the acoustic load and improves the SPL

Phenomenal bookshelf speakers from a British brand with a long heritage.  These speakers are very solidly built and benefit from placement where the tweeters are at ear level.  Real depth and staging in sound presentation, and not too harsh as some speakers in this price range can be.  I'm running these from a Yamaha AV receiver, with a Klipsch 10" subwoofer.  I'm super happy.  In addition, they look great.

Great bookshelf speakers for audiophiles on a budget

The best quality speaker I have owned really enjoy the sound

Great one of the best deals I haven?t made

Absolutely love how warm the lows are and the accuracy of the highs! Very complementary to my existing sub and surrounds. These replaced some lower end JBLs and definitely rival my Polk Audio tower speakers.
