With the dramatic clean-sheet redesign of the Diamond 12 range, spearheaded by world-renowned speaker designer Karl-Heinz Fink, Wharfedale have again raised the bar for what affordable audiophile quality speakers can achieve. Considering the ample performance on offer, you will have to agree with everyone that these Wharfedale Diamond 12.4 floorstanding speakers are absolutely fantastic value for money.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Wharfedale Diamond 12.4 ups the ante in every way over the already excellent 12.3. It's still a 2.5 way, 3 speaker design but it features the larger drivers and this changes the sonic landscape substantially. It will appeal to those who want generous depth and body in their sound and also have a bit of space to house a medium sized floorstanding speaker that just wants to play. The Diamond 12.4 employs a smooth \u0026amp; clear sounding 25mm (1\") textile dome tweeter and a kick-ass 165mm (6.5\") mid\/bass driver, together with a second 165mm driver dedicated to producing punchy bass that are constructed of a new material called Klarity which combines traditional polypropylene with mica for added strength and a level of clarity and energy that is pure pleasure to listen to.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeveloped in Cambridgeshire, England since 1982, Wharfedale's famous Diamond speakers have served as the classic entry point to true high-fidelity sound, their exceptional sonic value for money earning numerous 'product of the year' accolades in the UK and around the world. With the introduction of the Diamond 12 Series, Wharfedale once again raises the bar for affordable, high-performance loudspeakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMeet The Designer\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEarly on, Wharfedale determined that the Diamond 12 Series should be an opportunity to start afresh. So they made the decision to collaborate with world-renowned speaker designer Karl-Heinz Fink, whose track record of delivering class-leading sound from modestly priced speakers, including designs for Tannoy, Mission, Naim, and Q-Acoustics is exceptional. A challenge was issued to Mr Fink: how much sonic performance can you wring from a range of speakers at classic Diamond price points? And so, he and Wharfedale's team set to work, delivering clean-sheet designs without a single element carried over from the outgoing Diamond 11 Series.We also believe that with the entire Diamond 12 Series, he and Wharfedale's team of acoustic engineers have achieved a new entry-level benchmark that will worry a lot of other brands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNew Klarity Driver – The Difference Is Clear\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince the Diamond 8 Series in 2001, Wharfedale has made the mid\/bass cones for every Diamond generation from Kevlar. 19 years and many award-wining ranges later, Wharfedale has developed a new composite called Klarity. The chief ingredient of Klarity is polypropylene, a material that has been used to make speaker cones since the BBC researched its use for this purpose in the 1970s. Polypropylene cones are renowned for their characteristically low distortion and controlled 'breakup', as well as their resistance to moisture in the air. They also have a reputation in some quarters for sounding a little 'unexciting' – a perception that is largely the result of mediocre engineering. When designed and implemented optimally, polypropylene cones can sound enthralling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo make Klarity, Wharfedale adds mica to the formulation. This increases stiffness compared to polypropylene alone, reducing flexing and enabling a lightweight cone with high rigidity, low colouration and lightning-fast response – ideal characteristics to deliver both accuracy and excitement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMid\/Bass Drivers – Attention To Detail\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePolypropylene speaker cones are often combined with high-damping surrounds to achieve a smooth response curve. However, the hysteresis of these surrounds can restrict dynamics and make bass sound somewhat 'soft'. For the Diamond 12 Series, the aim was to combine the Klarity cone with a low-damping surround, thereby achieving both low colouration and expressive dynamics. This was not a simple task but, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Klarity diaphragms are driven by a substantial, precision-made magnet system with an aluminium 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. The voice coil is wound on a high-power epoxy\/glass fibre 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 aluminium bobbin, whilst also being much stiffer than the Kapton type.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRefined Tweeter \u0026amp; Crossover\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Diamond 12 Series' treble unit sports a 25mm dome 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, with a short duct to balance the acoustic load and improve the SPL (sound pressure level) measurement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe treble unit combines seamlessly with the mid\/bass driver via a crossover network using an acoustic LKR 24dB topology. This includes air core inductors of the type more commonly found in high-end speakers, selected because they produce the lowest distortion of all inductor types. As the resistance of the coil is higher than a standard laminated steel or ferrite core inductor, the magnetic structure of the mid\/bass driver has been modified to compensate, resulting in fast, clean bass with no distortion from the inductor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCarefully Crafted Cabinet Construction\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cabinet is a critical part of any high-performance loudspeaker. At entry-level price points, corners are often cut to constrain cost, but this is a mistake; no matter how good the drive units, their performance will be wasted if the cabinet's construction is suboptimal. For this reason, Diamond Series 12.4 speakers feature 22.4kg cabinets constructed with a level of sophistication usually reserved for much more expensive designs. Solid? You betcha!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRear Port\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rear-ported enclosure of each model is precisely sized so that the internal volume works in harmony with the drive unit system to deliver the desired sonic result. The cabinet walls are made from sections of wood fibreboard of varying thickness, constructed in such a way as to subdue the identifiable characteristics of the cabinet's 'sound' and ensure the drivers' output remains unsullied. The resonant properties of each element – even the glue – were considered to determine the ideal combination of materials and placement. Inside the cabinet, Intelligent Spot Bracing connects opposing walls with a specific form of wood brace to achieve optimal reduction of cabinet resonance. These braces are precisely modelled by computer simulation to improve upon the commonplace 'figure of eight' brace, which can have the effect of transferring resonance from one wall to another.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy choose the Wharfedale Diamond 12.4 Speakers?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Wharfedale Diamond 12.4's have it all but they're not in the habit of showing it off.  Somehow, they come across as completely civilised and well balanced even when there's obviously a fair bit of animal straining to get off the leash. They will happily deliver room filling sound all day without once looking like they're filling your room with speaker. These are, after all, only 1,150mm tall including the substantial spikes and, amazingly, only 200mm wide. A slightly mind-altering set of measurements for loudspeakers this capable. Being a 2.5 way, of course, means that both main drivers get in on the act of delivering bass while the upper driver handles midrange duties as well. This gives the sense of a much bigger sound without the need for a much bigger cabinet. Naturally, they will match perfectly with a well-chosen, music orientated subwoofer such as a REL if you want the benefits of full range sound and a little extra bass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd let's remember, there's a lot of technology packed into these slim cabinets with a smooth sounding 25mm textile dome tweeter employed for the high frequencies, an advanced 165mm Klarity driver handling midrange and bass and another dedicated 165mm Klarity driver whose only job is to provide energetic bass reinforcement down low. And before you ask, the 12.4's and all the 12 Series speakers have first-class speaker wire connectors that will accept heavy-duty bare wire and banana plugs. You may even want to consider bi-wiring which is also an option and if music is the major beneficiary of your investment, could just extract that little bit of extra detail. Immaculately styled in a range of contemporary finishes, these good looking floorstanding speakers sound wonderful, while looking like they totally belong in even the most desirable home.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wharfedale","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":43252958822536,"sku":"6972650924491","price":2199.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Light Oak","offer_id":43252958855304,"sku":"6972650924415","price":2199.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Walnut","offer_id":43252958888072,"sku":"6972650924422","price":2199.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"White","offer_id":43252958920840,"sku":"6972650924439","price":2199.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0663\/9317\/8248\/files\/wharfedale-diamond-12.4-black-1s_1.jpg?v=1737432358"},{"product_id":"wharfedale-diamond-12-0-speakers","title":"Wharfedale Diamond 12.0 Speakers","description":"\u003ch2\u003eWharfedale Diamond 12.0 Bookshelf Speakers\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Wharfedale Diamond 12.0 is the smallest bookshelf speaker in the '12 Series' range and is suited to small to medium size rooms where the visual impact is kept to a minimum but the sound is still great, albeit on a smaller scale.

Not too big, not too small, just right. With the dramatic clean-sheet redesign of the Diamond 12 range, spearheaded by world-renowned speaker designer Karl-Heinz Fink, Wharfedale have once again raised the bar for what affordable audiophile quality speakers can achieve. At the price, and even well above it, these Wharfedale Diamond 12.1 stand mount speakers are going to be very, very hard to beat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Wharfedale Diamond 12.1 is probably destined to be the best seller in the range because of the stunning performance it offers for the price. Small enough to not dominate a room yet with fire power enough to fill medium size spaces, this is a prime candidate for top consideration. The Diamond 12.1 employs a sweet sounding 25mm (1\") textile dome tweeter and an advanced 130mm (5\") mid\/ bass driver constructed of a new material called Klarity which combines traditional polypropylene with mica for added strength and a level of clarity and energy which is truly refreshing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeveloped in Cambridgeshire, England since 1982, Wharfedale's famous Diamond speakers have served as the classic entry point to true high-fidelity sound, their exceptional sonic value for money earning numerous 'product of the year' accolades in the UK and around the world. With the introduction of the Diamond 12 Series, Wharfedale once again raises the bar for affordable, high-performance loudspeakers. However, read on because the following text will give some great insight into the background and design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMeet The Designer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Early on, Wharfedale determined that the Diamond 12 Series should be an opportunity to start afresh. So they made the decision to collaborate with world-renowned speaker designer Karl-Heinz Fink, whose track record of delivering class-leading sound from modestly priced speakers, including designs for Tannoy, Mission, Naim, and Q-Acoustics is exceptional. A challenge was issued to Mr Fink: how much sonic performance can you wring from a range of speakers at classic Diamond price points? And so he along with Wharfedale's team set to work, delivering clean-sheet designs without a single element carried over from the outgoing Diamond 11 Series.We also believe that with the entire Diamond 12 Series, he and Wharfedale's team of acoustic engineers have achieved a new entry-level benchmark that will worry a lot of other brands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNew Klarity Driver – The Difference Is Clear:\u003c\/strong\u003e Since the Diamond 8 Series in 2001, Wharfedale has made the mid\/bass cones for every Diamond generation from Kevlar. 19 years and many award-wining ranges later, Wharfedale has developed a new composite called Klarity. The chief ingredient of Klarity is polypropylene, a material that has been used to make speaker cones since the BBC researched its use for this purpose in the 1970s. Polypropylene cones are renowned for their characteristically low distortion and controlled 'breakup', as well as their resistance to moisture in the air. They also have a reputation in some quarters for sounding a little 'unexciting' – a perception that is largely the result of mediocre engineering. When designed and implemented optimally, polypropylene cones can sound enthralling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo make Klarity, Wharfedale adds mica to the formulation. This increases stiffness compared to polypropylene alone, reducing flexing and enabling a lightweight cone with high rigidity, low colouration and lightning-fast response – ideal characteristics to deliver both accuracy and excitement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMid\/Bass Drivers – Attention To Detail:\u003c\/strong\u003e Polypropylene speaker cones are often combined with high-damping surrounds to achieve a smooth response curve. However, the hysteresis of these surrounds can restrict dynamics and make bass sound somewhat 'soft'. For the Diamond 12 Series, the aim was to combine the Klarity cone with a low-damping surround, thereby achieving both low colouration and expressive dynamics. This was not a simple task but, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Klarity diaphragms are driven by a substantial, precision-made magnet system with an aluminium 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. The voice coil is wound on a high-power epoxy\/glass fibre 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 aluminium bobbin, whilst also being much stiffer than the Kapton type.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRefined Tweeter \u0026amp; Crossover:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Diamond 12 Series' treble unit sports a 25mm dome 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, with a short duct to balance the acoustic load and improve the SPL (sound pressure level) measurement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe treble unit combines seamlessly with the mid\/bass driver via a crossover network using an acoustic LKR 24dB topology. This includes air core inductors of the type more commonly found in high-end speakers, selected because they produce the lowest distortion of all inductor types. As the resistance of the coil is higher than a standard laminated steel or ferrite core inductor, the magnetic structure of the mid\/bass driver has been modified to compensate, resulting in fast, clean bass with no distortion from the inductor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCarefully Crafted Cabinet Construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e The cabinet is a critical part of any high-performance loudspeaker. At entry-level price points, corners are often cut to constrain cost, but this is a mistake; no matter how good the drive units, their performance will be wasted if the cabinet's construction is suboptimal. For this reason, Diamond 12 Series speakers feature cabinets constructed with a level of sophistication usually reserved for much more expensive designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRear Port:\u003c\/strong\u003e The rear-ported enclosure of each model is precisely sized so that the internal volume works in harmony with the drive unit system to deliver the desired sonic result. The cabinet walls are made from sections of wood fibreboard of varying thickness, constructed in such a way as to subdue the identifiable characteristics of the cabinet's 'sound' and ensure the drivers' output remains unsullied. The resonant properties of each element – even the glue – were considered to determine the ideal combination of materials and placement. Inside the cabinet, Intelligent Spot Bracing connects opposing walls with a specific form of wood brace to achieve optimal reduction of cabinet resonance. These braces are precisely modelled by computer simulation to improve upon the commonplace 'figure of eight' brace, which can have the effect of transferring resonance from one wall to another.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWharfedale Diamond 12.1 Review\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Wharfedale started with a clean sheet here, and it shows. Pretty much everything is new, from the drive units to the cabinet construction. The result is a pair of compact, 31cm-tall boxes that have the ability to make the most of price-compatible hi-fi components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTheir sound is organised, cohesive and musical. They deliver an impressively expansive soundstage for the money that stays stable even when recordings become layered and demanding. We like the reassuring way the Diamonds handle larger-scale dynamics too, delivering more authority and scale than one might expect for speakers of a modest size and price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a tough area of the market, however, and Wharfedale's superb speakers aren't short of talented rivals.

This gives it a big spacious sound that belies its size while the beautifully curved cabinet helps it stand out from the litany of boxy bookshelf speakers on the market. As with the other EVO 4 speakers there is the choice of three fine finishes - White Oak, Walnut or Black.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWharfedale Wireless Works was founded by Gilbert Briggs in 1932, soon after he built his very first loudspeaker in the cellar of his home in Ilkley, Yorkshire. This sleepy little market town was located in the valley of the river \"Wharfe\" – an area known to this day as 'Wharfedale'. This unlikely location would see the birth of a brand that has become recognized all over the world, synonymous with quality in high-fidelity reproduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1981 the first Wharfedale Diamond speaker was born. The rather unassuming small box took the industry by storm. Small cabinets and the stiff, yet light polypropylene driver meant a very fast, tight sound and compact, accurate two-way drivers produced a fantastic stereo image. It quickly became a best seller and the Diamond range has continued to this day as a staple in the Wharfedale catalogue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNow, with more than 75 years of setting the standards in perfecting loudspeaker performance, Wharfedale, in order to remain at the forefront of audio, has dedicated 1.5 million square feet to design \u0026amp; manufacturing in which every single product and process takes place in-house. With this ability to control every single part of the process, Wharfedale's speakers achieve a harmony in performance and design rarely seen elsewhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Evolution Of Sound\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe new EVO 4 range represents the dawn of a new standard in Hi-Fi, from Wharfedale – the most famous name in British loudspeakers. Following the concept of the best-selling EVO series that came before it, EVO 4 represents the evolution of affordable high-fidelity audio. More than just a new edition, Evo 4 also fuses the EVO concept with trickle down technology from the flagship Wharfedale Elysian series – and just like Elysian, EVO 4 pushes the boundaries of technology and performance of speakers within this price class. From the cabinet design to the materials employed in its distinct design, EVO 4 stands head and shoulders above the competition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNotably, the Wharfedale EVO 4 series employs a specially engineered AMT (Air Motion Transformer) treble transducer for its proprietary, silky smooth high frequency reproduction. By design, the AMT allows for a higher volume of air to be moved during performance than with a convention soft dome tweeter. This higher-pressure action, encouraged by the principles of AMT design, offers an improved point-source HF reproduction with lower distortion properties than conventional tweeters. This is evident in the sheer clarity of the musical performance of all of the Evo4 series loudspeakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEvolution By Design:\u003c\/strong\u003e Taking strong elements from the Flagship Elysian series, EVO 4 has ground breaking research and design embedded in its DNA.

A large, pleated, lightweight diaphragm is driven across its surface by rows of strategically placed metallic strips immersed in a strong magnetic field.

This naturally endows it with a larger cabinet and a bigger sound than most other bookshelf speakers. As with the other EVO 4 speakers there is the choice of three fine finishes - White Oak, Walnut or Black.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWharfedale Wireless Works was founded by Gilbert Briggs in 1932, soon after he built his very first loudspeaker in the cellar of his home in Ilkley, Yorkshire. This sleepy little market town was located in the valley of the river \"Wharfe\" – an area known to this day as 'Wharfedale'. This unlikely location would see the birth of a brand that has become recognized all over the world, synonymous with quality in high-fidelity reproduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1981 the first Wharfedale Diamond speaker was born. The rather unassuming small box took the industry by storm. Small cabinets and the stiff, yet light polypropylene driver meant a very fast, tight sound and compact, accurate two-way drivers produced a fantastic stereo image. It quickly became a best seller and the Diamond range has continued to this day as a staple in the Wharfedale catalogue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNow, with more than 75 years of setting the standards in perfecting loudspeaker performance, Wharfedale, in order to remain at the forefront of audio, has dedicated 1.5 million square feet to design \u0026amp; manufacturing in which every single product and process takes place in-house. With this ability to control every single part of the process, Wharfedale's speakers achieve a harmony in performance and design rarely seen elsewhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Evolution Of Sound\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe new EVO 4 range represents the dawn of a new standard in Hi-Fi, from Wharfedale – the most famous name in British loudspeakers. Following the concept of the best-selling EVO series that came before it, EVO 4 represents the evolution of affordable high-fidelity audio. More than just a new edition, EVO 4 also fuses the EVO concept with trickle down technology from the flagship Wharfedale Elysian series – and just like Elysian, EVO 4 pushes the boundaries of technology and performance of speakers within this price class. From the cabinet design to the materials employed in its distinct design, EVO 4 stands proudly right up there with the competition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNotably, the Wharfedale EVO 4 series employs a specially engineered AMT (Air Motion Transformer) treble transducer for its proprietary, silky smooth high frequency reproduction. By design, the AMT allows for a higher volume of air to be moved during performance than with a convention soft dome tweeter. This higher-pressure action, encouraged by the principles of AMT design, offers an improved point-source HF reproduction with lower distortion properties than conventional tweeters. This is evident in the sheer clarity of the musical performance of all of the EVO 4 series loudspeakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEvolution By Design:\u003c\/strong\u003e Taking strong elements from the Flagship Elysian series, Wharfedale EVO 4 has ground breaking research and design embedded in its DNA.

With such a low mass only a low-damping, foamed rubber-like material would match for the surround, again coated for durability. A central phase plug is specially shaped to linearize the output across a wide bandwidth, even well off-axis, enhancing a natural response to the music which can be heard anywhere you wish to sit.

Otherwise sit the speakers between 1.5 and 2 metres apart, clear of rear walls and room corners. If the loudspeakers are placed too close to the walls the bass will increase but may be boomy and indistinct. If the loudspeakers are placed further away from the walls, the inward angle (\"toe-in\") may be increased by up to 30%. As personal taste and room acoustics play a large role, experiment with different configurations and play a wide range of music before finalizing the position of the speakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe optimum listening position is in an area between the speakers broadly known as the \"sweet spot\".

This sleepy little market town was located in the valley of the river \"Wharfe\" – an area known to this day as 'Wharfedale'. This unlikely location would see the birth of a brand that has become recognized all over the world, synonymous with quality in high-fidelity reproduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1981 the first Wharfedale Diamond speaker was born. The rather unassuming small box took the industry by storm. Small cabinets and the stiff, yet light polypropylene driver meant a very fast, tight sound and compact, accurate two-way drivers produced a fantastic stereo image.

The pleats in the diaphragm contract and expand under the influence of the musical drive, squeezing the air between them to form the desired waveform. Featuring an ultra-lightweight diaphragm material called 'PET' and an acoustically damped rear chamber, the Elysian AMT stands out against comparable high-frequency units by delivering even more spellbindingly clear and sweetly extended high frequencies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOperating in a two-way configuration, Elysian 1 is also fitted with a custom, glass fibre matrix cone bass unit.

Christened SLPP (Slot-Loaded Profiled Port), it ensures that the rear output of the bass units is not wasted. Instead, the lowest frequency energy is vented to a slot at the base of the speaker, specially profiled to equalise the high internal pressure to the low pressure in the room. This reduces the distortion that is typical of bass reflex systems and increases the port's efficiency. In addition, because the air is dispersed uniformly in the room, the speakers are less fussy about placement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn combination, the bass units and SLPP bass reflex system provide the massive foundation upon which the rest of the musical performance sits, letting you feel as well as hear the full impact of thunderous low-frequency information.

With the dramatic clean-sheet redesign of the Diamond 12 range, spearheaded by world-renowned speaker designer Karl-Heinz Fink, Wharfedale have once again raised the bar for what affordable audiophile quality speakers can achieve. At the very reasonable price, considering the performance on offer, these new Wharfedale Diamond 12.3 floorstanding speakers are truthfully great value for money.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrice is one thing, but performance and design should still be carefully assessed even though everyone agrees that the Diamond 12.3 looks on the surface to be a cracking good speaker at a very, very affordable price. Although it's the smaller floorstander in the range is still packs plenty of punch with its 2.5 way, 3 speaker design. It will appeal to those who want generous sound but also want the speaker to fit in seamlessly with their décor. The Diamond 12.3 employs a clear sounding 25mm (1\") textile dome tweeter and an advanced 130mm (5\") mid\/bass driver, together with a dedicated 130mm (5\") bass driver constructed of a new material called Klarity™ which combines traditional polypropylene with mica for added strength and a level of clarity and energy which is rather tasty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeveloped in Cambridgeshire, England since 1982, Wharfedale's famous Diamond speakers have served as the classic entry point to true high-fidelity sound, their exceptional sonic value for money earning numerous 'product of the year' accolades in the UK and around the world. With the introduction of the all-new Diamond 12 Series, Wharfedale once again raises the bar for affordable, high-performance loudspeakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNew Klarity Driver – The Difference Is Clear\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince the Diamond 8 Series in 2001, Wharfedale has made the mid\/bass cones for every Diamond generation from Kevlar. 19 years and many award-wining ranges later, Wharfedale has developed a new composite called Klarity. The chief ingredient of Klarity is polypropylene, a material that has been used to make speaker cones since the BBC researched its use for this purpose in the 1970s. Polypropylene cones are renowned for their characteristically low distortion and controlled 'breakup', as well as their resistance to moisture in the air. They also have a reputation in some quarters for sounding a little 'unexciting' – a perception that is largely the result of mediocre engineering. When designed and implemented optimally, polypropylene cones can sound enthralling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Secret Revealed\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo make Klarity, Wharfedale adds mica to the formulation. This increases stiffness compared to polypropylene alone, reducing flexing and enabling a lightweight cone with high rigidity, low colouration and lightning-fast response – ideal characteristics to deliver both accuracy and excitement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMid\/Bass Drivers – Attention To Detail\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePolypropylene speaker cones are often combined with high-damping surrounds to achieve a smooth response curve. However, the hysteresis of these surrounds can restrict dynamics and make bass sound somewhat 'soft'. For the Diamond 12 Series, the aim was to combine the Klarity cone with a low-damping surround, thereby achieving both low colouration and expressive dynamics. This was not a simple task but, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Klarity diaphragms are driven by a substantial, precision-made magnet system with an aluminium 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. The voice coil is wound on a high-power epoxy\/glass fibre 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 aluminium bobbin, whilst also being much stiffer than the Kapton type.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRefined Tweeter \u0026amp; Crossover\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Diamond 12 Series' treble unit sports a 25mm dome 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, with a short duct to balance the acoustic load and improve the SPL (sound pressure level) measurement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe treble unit combines seamlessly with the mid\/bass driver via a crossover network using an acoustic LKR 24dB topology. This includes air core inductors of the type more commonly found in high-end speakers, selected because they produce the lowest distortion of all inductor types. As the resistance of the coil is higher than a standard laminated steel or ferrite core inductor, the magnetic structure of the mid\/bass driver has been modified to compensate, resulting in fast, clean bass with no distortion from the inductor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCarefully Crafted Cabinet Construction\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cabinet is a critical part of any high-performance loudspeaker. At entry-level price points, corners are often cut to constrain cost, but this is a mistake; no matter how good the drive units, their performance will be wasted if the cabinet's construction is suboptimal. For this reason, Diamond 12 Series speakers feature cabinets constructed with a level of sophistication usually reserved for much more expensive designs. And weighing in at just on 20kgs each, they are very solid considering their small footprint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRear Port\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rear-ported enclosure is precisely sized so that the internal volume works in harmony with the drive unit system to deliver the desired sonic result. The cabinet walls are made from sections of wood fibreboard of varying thickness, constructed in such a way as to subdue the identifiable characteristics of the cabinet's 'sound' and ensure the drivers' output remains unsullied. The resonant properties of each element – even the glue – were considered to determine the ideal combination of materials and placement. Inside the cabinet, Intelligent Spot Bracing connects opposing walls with a specific form of wood brace to achieve optimal reduction of cabinet resonance. These braces are precisely modelled by computer simulation to improve upon the commonplace 'figure of eight' brace, which can have the effect of transferring resonance from one wall to another.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWharfedale Diamond 12.3 Review\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Founded back in 1932 by Gilbert Briggs, Wharefdale takes its name from a valley found in the upper parts of the River Wharfe in the Yorkshire Dales, where the original speakers were made. Responsible for innovations such as the two-way speaker and the ceramic driver, the Diamond range is the company's most famous speaker of recent years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd it now features a truly outstanding (and affordable) floorstander. Indeed, we were so impressed by the Wharfedale Diamond 12.3's musical performance we deemed it a What Hi-Fi? Awards 2021 winner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 98cm tall, the Diamond 12.3 aren't a particularly imposing pair of floorstanders, so they'll fit into most spaces. Sonically, they're smooth, even-handed and wonderfully refined for the money. Feed them a poor signal and they'll round off rough edges and downplay unwanted aggression without sounding like they're smothering the life out of the music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs for build quality, the cabinets are carefully crafted with a traditional straight-edge design and a tidy feet arrangement. The 12.3 are available in four finishes – black, walnut, white and a classy light oak – all of which belie their relatively modest price tag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're looking for reasonably-priced hi-fi speakers, the talented Wharfdale 12.3 are a superb buy.\" \u003cstrong\u003eWhat Hi-Fi? - Best British Speakers 2023\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Choose The Wharfedale Diamond 12.3 Speakers?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Wharfedale Diamond 12.3's are going to be popular, no doubt. Plenty of people want the extra body and bass that floorstanding speakers provide but don't want to pay for it with visuals reminiscent of the hulk. Never fear, the Diamond 12.3's are here to save the day. They're slim, perfectly proportioned and thoroughly refined in that typically British way. Being a 2.5 way means that both main drivers get in on the act of delivering bass while the upper driver handles midrange duties as well. This gives the sense of a much bigger sound without the need for a much bigger cabinet. Naturally, they will match perfectly with a well-chosen, music orientated subwoofer such as a REL if you want the benefits of full range sound and extra bass. And there's a lot of technology packed into these slim cabinets with a smooth sounding 25mm textile dome tweeter employed for the high frequencies, an advanced 130mm Klarity driver handling midrange and bass and another dedicated 5\" Klarity driver whose only job is to provide seamless bass reinforcement down low. Beautifully styled in a range of on-point finishes, these slim, good looking floorstanding speakers sound great, while looking like they totally belong in your home.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wharfedale","offers":[{"title":"White","offer_id":43253004173448,"sku":"6972650924385","price":1699.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Walnut","offer_id":43253004140680,"sku":"6972650924392","price":1699.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Black","offer_id":43253004075144,"sku":"6972650924507","price":1699.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Light Oak","offer_id":43253004107912,"sku":"6972650924408","price":1699.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0663\/9317\/8248\/files\/wharfedale-diamond-12.3-white-1s.jpg?v=1737433922"},{"product_id":"wharfedale-evo4-4-speakers","title":"Wharfedale EVO4.4 Speakers","description":"\u003ch2\u003eAbout The Wharfedale EVO4.4 Speakers\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Wharfedale Evo 4.4 Floorstanding Speaker is the flagship of the Evo 4 range and has the ability to fill a large room with rich clear sound from its beautifully rounded, super solid cabinet, ultra-stiff woven Kevlar woofers, large soft dome midrange and airy AMT tweeter. You get a heck of a lot of speaker for the money in three fine finishes - White Oak, Walnut or Black - to suit almost any décor.   \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Evo 4.4 is the big daddy of the range. Although it has the same sensual cabinet curves flaunted shamelessly by all the Evo 4 speakers, it is built on a bigger scale and is able to fill a large room with sound. It features the wonderful Air Motion Transformer Tweeter and the large Dome Midrange coupled to a pair of 6.5\" (165mm) diameter woven Kevlar Bass Drivers for maximum punch and superior bass extension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Evolution Of Sound\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe new Evo 4 represents the dawn of a new standard in Hi-Fi, from Wharfedale – the most famous name in British loudspeakers. Following the concept of the best-selling Evo series that came before it, Evo 4 represents the evolution of affordable high-fidelity audio. More than just a new edition, Evo 4 also fuses the Evo concept with trickle down technology from the flagship Wharfedale Elysian series – and just like Elysian, Evo 4 pushes the boundaries of technology and performance of speakers within this price class. From the cabinet design to the materials employed in its distinct design, Evo 4 stands head and shoulders above the competition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNotably, the Wharfedale Evo 4 series employs a specially engineered AMT (Air Motion Transformer) treble transducer for its proprietary, silky smooth high frequency reproduction. By design, the AMT allows for a higher volume of air to be moved during performance than with a convention soft dome tweeter. This higher-pressure action, encouraged by the principles of AMT design, offers an improved point-source HF reproduction with lower distortion properties than conventional tweeters. This is evident in the sheer clarity of the musical performance of all of the Evo4 series loudspeakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEvolution By Design:\u003c\/strong\u003e Taking strong elements from the Flagship Elysian series, Evo 4 has ground breaking research and design embedded in its DNA.

Not just the sleek curves, which stand out from the competition, but the materials, composites, internal bracing and damping too. All of this ensures the sonic character is not compromised by aesthetics. Quite the opposite, in fact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAir Motion Transformer Tweeter:\u003c\/strong\u003e The AMT (Air Motion Transformer) is a radically different way of moving air. A large, pleated, lightweight diaphragm is driven across its surface by rows of strategically placed metallic strips immersed in a strong magnetic field. Under the influence of the musical drive the pleats in the diaphragm contract and expand, squeezing the air between them to form the desired waveform. Not only is this an efficient way of moving air but it is also very accurate as the diaphragm is under close control of the motor system at all times. In addition the AMT is a velocity, rather than pressure, transducer, capable of producing scintillatingly fast transients and dynamics. The result is a wide bandwidth device that achieves low distortion naturally and delivers wonderful musical detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAccuracy:\u003c\/strong\u003e Articulate and accurate bass is perfected by the bi-directional weaved Kevlar cones – a material that is naturally self-damping to reduce and distribute resonances to virtually negligible levels. In addition, a fixed, profiled phase plug ensures smooth acoustic roll off, further aiding integration with the AMT HF unit and mid-range drivers found in the Evo 4.2 upwards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSLPP Bass:\u003c\/strong\u003e The bass units are loaded by the most advanced version of the unique Wharfedale Slot Port yet. Christened SLPP (Slot Loaded Profiled Port) the rear output of the bass units is not wasted. Instead the lowest frequency energy is vented to a slot at the base of the speaker, specially profiled to equalize the high internal pressure to the low pressure in the room. In combination the bass units and SLPP bass reflex system provide the massive foundation on which the rest of the musical performance sits, letting you feel as well as hear the full impact of thunderous low frequency information.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinely Tuned:\u003c\/strong\u003e As per the uncompromising workflow and standard of Wharfedale loudspeaker development, hundreds of hours of listening plus custom designed Wharfedale Computer Aided Optimisation technology allows for the fine tuning of the crossover, perfecting the combination of the driver selection for ultimate performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVersatile In Application:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Evo 4 series is refined to appeal to the audiophile and the home-theatre enthusiast alike.

However, they also make high-end speakers with some costing in excess of $20,000! It was nice to hear that the Wharfedale Evo 4.4 floor standing speakers won the What Hi-Fi? 2020 Award for best speaker £1000 - £1500. In part the review said: \" These are the biggest and priciest offerings in the company's new Evo range and are packed full of so much technology that we had to double-check the speaker's price tag to make sure it was for a pair of speakers, rather than just one. What kind of technology? Well, there's the Air Motion Transformer tweeter for starters. While there are a few similarly priced speakers that use such a unit, it's a type of design more usually seen at far higher prices....\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're thinking that any speaker that stands 106cm tall and has twin 15cm bass drivers should deliver plenty in the way of bass, you'd be right...The output of those two bass drivers is helped by a downward-facing port arrangement where the low frequency sound fires out through a gap between the base of the speaker cabinet and the floor plinth. This is a technique that Wharfedale has refined in recent years and is claimed to better match the acoustic output of the port to the room...The Evo 4.4's build quality is good for the price. We like the way the elegantly curved cabinet is put together. It's strategically braced and damped to provide a solid, low resonance platform for the drive units to work from. There are three finish options – black, white and walnut. The standard of fit and finish on our review samples is good.\" \u003cstrong\u003eWhat-Hi-Fi?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"These are the biggest and priciest offerings in the Wharfedale's Evo range and are packed full of so much technology that we had to double-check the price. The Air Motion Transformer tweeter is normally reserved for much more expensive speakers, while the dome midrange and twin Kevlar bass drivers also set these floorstanders apart from the crowd.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt won't come as a surprise that these relatively big speakers produce a large-scale sound with plenty of authority that's capable of going nice and loud. But they also deliver transparency and subtlety, helping to ensure a natural, easy-going presentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are three finish options – black, white and walnut.

The finish is exceptional and the AMT high-frequency unit delivers crystal clear sound but without being harsh. The terminals give you the option to bi-wire and considering the design it is something we would suggest you give serious consideration to. The Evo 4.4 is not a very efficient speaker and this is why it delivers such good bass and stereo imagery. However, it means you need an amp with some grunt - not necessarily high Wattage but rather a high-current design. If thinking about a home theatre system, then you will need one of the higher-end models and if stereo music is a serious part of your life, then posibly an additional power amplifier to really make the house shake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"main-features\"\u003eMain Features \u0026amp; Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesign: 4-Driver, 3-way Floorstanding Speakers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnclosure Type: Bass Reflex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBass Drivers: 2 x 165mm (6.5\") black woven Kevlar® cone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMidrange Driver: 1 x 50mm (2\") soft dome\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTreble Driver: 1 x 30 x 60mm AMT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSensitivity (2.83V @ 1M): 89dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecommended Amplifier Power: 50-200 Watt - must be 'clean' power\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeak SPL: 107dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNominal Impedance: 8 Ohms Compatible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimum Impedance: 4.3 Ohms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency Response (+\/-3dB): 44Hz - 22kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBass Extension (-6dB): 38Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrossover Frequencies: 1.4kHz \u0026amp; 4.7kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrille Covers: Magnetic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpeaker Wire Terminals: Will accept bare wire, spades and banana plugs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBi-Wire Option: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish\/Colour: Black; Walnut; White\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions (WxHxD): 250 x 1060 x 350mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNet Weight: 25.6 kg each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufacturers Warranty: 5 Years.

More recently complemented by the high-end Dovedale model, which signalled the return of UK manufacturing, the Heritage series emphasises why no loudspeaker manufacturer can claim a richer heritage than Wharfedale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollowing on from the aforementioned models, Wharfedale's loudspeaker engineers, led by the revered Peter Comeau as Director of Acoustic Design, have sought to extend the series by taking another price-point-defying model from the archives and subjecting it to innovations and improvements learned over Wharfedale's decades of loudspeaker development. The result of this project is the all-new Wharfedale Super Denton!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTaking inspiration from the Denton 3 - a loudspeaker that, in 1971, was acclaimed for surprising comparisons to the more regular large-format speakers of the time – Denton has now evolved to the 'Super' status – a term originally applied to improved 'Super' and 'Super Power' Wharfedale models of the 1970s. The new Super Denton follows suit in creating another modern classic with all the romance of heritage design matched by the latest in loudspeaker engineering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDenton, in all current iterations, holds its place as a standmount\/bookshelf speaker that is easy to fall in love with — thanks in no small part to the proportions of its quality veneered cabinet. The new Super Denton takes the 'Super' aspiration to a new level and brings back the classic 3-way design of the Denton 3, but rather than follow the Linton model with another large-format cabinet design, the Super Denton remarkably keeps to the compact standmount\/bookshelf format and is a mere 20mm taller than the Denton 85 model!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe industrial design and cabinet engineering required incredible effort to support such a complex array in a small volume, small footprint cabinet. The Super Denton cabinet features critically placed bracing and internal acoustic damping using layers of long-hair fibre and the midrange and treble units have their own rear enclosures. As with all models in the Heritage series, the Super Denton cabinet is wrapped with hand-matched wood veneers for a furniture-grade finish befitting any living environment – classic or modern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe premium, cast chassis 6.5\" (165mm) bass unit is tuned to the cabinet for bass extension down to 40Hz – astonishing for a loudspeaker of this size - with the woven Kevlar diaphragm providing realistic performance from instruments and vocals in the lower midrange.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe midrange unit is based around a 2\" (50mm) dome design – inspired by Wharfedale's award-winning EVO4 series. This driver provides the ideal transition from the fundamental tones carried by the bass unit to the harmonic overtones higher in frequency. The wide dispersion of this dome diaphragm is responsible for the clarity and finesse that brings the musical performance alive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSonic detail and air at high frequencies comes via a new 1\" (25mm) soft dome treble unit that inherits design traits from the Wharfedale Dovedale model, including the ceramic motor system and rear chamber. This chamber helps reduce the resonant frequency to below that of the crossover region for a more natural and seamless transition between the drive units.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe three drivers are neatly arranged for smooth integration into this 3-way design, managed by a highly researched crossover network that features air-core coils and polypropylene capacitors in the midrange and treble circuits for distortion-free performance. As with all Wharfedale models, the design is accelerated by critical measurements allied to advanced computer modelling, but final tuning is achieved throughout 1000s of hours of listening tests – just as Wharfedale founder Gilbert Briggs would emphasise: \"Response curves alone can hide a multitude of sins!\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe development of Super Denton involved intricacies and attention to detail comparable to a model pitched at twice its humble price tag, as the lead designer says; \"even the grille incorporates internal shaping to maximise the power performance of the drive units and avoid interference from reflections from the edges of the cabinet\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is a musical output that suits all genres of music and sources, whether analogue or digital.

When the Denton 3 was introduced, in 1971, its brochure claimed that it \"succeeds in combining 3 speakers … in a very small cabinet. The resulting sound will surprise anyone who believes that high fidelity is only obtainable with larger cabinets\". Now, Wharfedale's engineers have replicated that concept with exactly the same aim in mind and they call it 'Super Denton' (tights and cape are optional).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuper Denton is formulated from three advanced drive units – a 6.5 inch (165mm) woven Kevlar cone bass unit, a 2 inch (50mm) dome midrange unit and a 1 inch (25mm) soft-dome treble unit. The bass unit and cabinet are tuned to achieve a remarkable bass extension down to 40Hz, below the fundamental E1 tuning of a standard bass guitar, with the woven Kevlar diaphragm providing realistic performance from instruments and vocals in the lower midrange. Upper midrange and lower treble output comes from a midrange unit based on the technology of the award-winning EVO 4 loudspeakers. Here the 2 inch fabric dome driver provides the ideal transition from the fundamental tones carried by the bass unit to the harmonic overtones higher in frequency. The wide dispersion of this dome diaphragm is responsible for the clarity and finesse that brings the musical performance alive into your living room. Perfectly matched to this advanced midrange dome unit is the new 1 inch soft dome treble unit, inheriting the ceramic magnet motor system and rear chamber used in the Dovedale Heritage, to better match the detailed performance of its companion drivers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNaturally, the advanced performance of these three drive units requires an equally highly researched crossover. Developed over hundreds of hours of listening tests, the Super Denton crossover matches the acoustic performance of the drive units to achieve a seamless transition between them. Utilising air core coils and high-specification polypropylene capacitors for midrange and treble circuits, the crossover enhances the clear and realistic detailing that emerges effortlessly from this advanced bookshelf loudspeaker. Even the grille incorporates internal shaping to maximize the power performance of the drive units and avoid interference from reflections from the edges of the cabinet. The result is a musical output that suits all genres of music and sources, whether analogue or digital.

When bookshelf sized speakers are placed on the floor or against a wall their sonic output becomes 'connected' to the floor or walls. This results in sound that is muddy, distorted and lacking in clarity. Speaker stands elevate and isolate speakers from floors and walls.

Don't be deceived, these modest looking speakers are real contenders in their class and deserve to be on everyone's must listen list.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe current iteration of the Wharfedale Linton was launched in 2019 and has since become one of the company's most successful loudspeakers... ever! Not only in the number of pairs sold but also in terms of awards, accolades and endorsements from enthusiasts and press alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs part of Wharfedale's world-famous heritage series, Linton can boldly but confidently claim to be one of the most astounding value loudspeakers of recent times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot only is Linton an exception in design, build, and styling, but its industrial design and acoustic performance have been universally welcomed as a loudspeaker that brings musicality back to music and romance back to home hi-fi.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStill going strong and one of the most sought-after loudspeakers in the market, Linton is going nowhere soon and remains a jewel in the crown of Wharfedale's ever-popular Heritage series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, as a brand with more heritage than most and the unparalleled ability to deliver artisan cabinetry, category-leading, and price-point-defying loudspeakers, the Wharfedale Linton's appeal has room to expand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStaying true to brand heritage and following swiftly in the vein of the recently announced and already incredibly successful Super Denton, Wharfedale is following suit with the introduction of the Super Linton! A new iteration of another classic model, the Super Linton was originally available in the late 1960s as an upgraded version of the then-also successful original Linton models\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike the Super Linton of '67, which was' Super' on the basis of mainly improved cabinet design, the new Super Linton is genuinely super in every way. Not detracting from its sister and current Linton, the Super Linton takes one step further in engineering and performance in almost every aspect. The result is a moderately more expensive but extensively more capable loudspeaker that forms the perfect addition to the Heritage series, offering an upgrade path for existing Linton owners but also bridging the gap between the flagship, made in the UK Dovedale model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSuper What and Super How?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike the original 'Super' concept, the new Super Linton benefits from an enlarged cabinet and propriety Wharfedale 'sandwich' cabinet design that features a resonance-reducing combination of particle board and MDF complemented with a layer of acoustic damping glue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA new bass unit and a more powerful motor system enhance the low-frequency performance, extending down to 32Hz! This results in a more dramatic and impactful low-end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the treble output, Super Linton features a lightweight fabric weave dome coated with special damping material and supported by a ceramic magnet motor system, contributing to its sweet and detailed character. The revised short horn profile ensures smooth response down to the upper midrange, and the new front plate design enhances high-frequency dispersion, matching the transient impact and detailing of the new bass unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA new rear chamber for the midrange drive unit works to cancel out mid-band specific back waves by intelligent layers of long-hair fibre, resulting in a more natural prominence of the vocal and instrument frequencies\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA new split-PCB crossover design serves to sew the drive units together while avoiding electromagnetic interference. The crossover also benefits from custom-specified components chosen for neutrality and optimum signal transfer. Super Linton even goes as far as employing PE dielectric and LCOFC cabling for pristine signal transfer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecognisable as having 'Linton DNA, the Super Linton's ID is a modest update. However, new considerations were made for the driver array and cabinet dimensions. Super Linton sits modestly taller than the current Linton model. This modest increase in dimensions means the Super Linton doesn't require anything different in footprint or spacing - in fact, it is designed to use the same Linton Stand for optimum positioning… while the much-cherished benefit of LP storage remains!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBut why choose the Wharfedale Super Linton Heritage Speakers?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Wharfedale Super Linton Heritage Speakers honour the vintage charm of the swinging 60s with a distinctly modern twist, blending retro design with advanced 21st-century audio technology.

Following the 2019 release of the current Linton model, which garnered impressive sales and awards, Wharfedale's Super Linton brings further enhancements, preserving Linton's rich legacy while offering an elevated experience.

Enhanced with features like the split-PCB crossover and LCOFC cabling, the Super Linton's superior signal clarity and natural soundstage bring music to life.

Even though they look like they're from the swinging 60's these beauties are 100% 21\u003csup\u003est\u003c\/sup\u003e Century inside which is where it counts. Don't be deceived, these modest looking speakers are real contenders in their class and deserve to be on everyone's must listen list.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe current iteration of the Wharfedale Linton was launched in 2019 and has since become one of the company's most successful loudspeakers... ever! Not only in the number of pairs sold but also in terms of awards, accolades and endorsements from enthusiasts and press alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs part of Wharfedale's world-famous heritage series, Linton can boldly but confidently claim to be one of the most astounding value loudspeakers of recent times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot only is Linton an exception in design, build, and styling, but its industrial design and acoustic performance have been universally welcomed as a loudspeaker that brings musicality back to music and romance back to home hi-fi.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStill going strong and one of the most sought-after loudspeakers in the market, Linton is going nowhere soon and remains a jewel in the crown of Wharfedale's ever-popular Heritage series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, as a brand with more heritage than most and the unparalleled ability to deliver artisan cabinetry, category-leading, and price-point-defying loudspeakers, the Wharfedale Linton's appeal has room to expand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStaying true to brand heritage and following swiftly in the vein of the recently announced and already incredibly successful Super Denton, Wharfedale is following suit with the introduction of the Super Linton! A new iteration of another classic model, the Super Linton was originally available in the late 1960s as an upgraded version of the then-also successful original Linton models\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike the Super Linton of '67, which was' Super' on the basis of mainly improved cabinet design, the new Super Linton is genuinely super in every way. Not detracting from its sister and current Linton, the Super Linton takes one step further in engineering and performance in almost every aspect. The result is a moderately more expensive but extensively more capable loudspeaker that forms the perfect addition to the Heritage series, offering an upgrade path for existing Linton owners but also bridging the gap between the flagship, made in the UK Dovedale model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSuper What and Super How?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike the original 'Super' concept, the new Super Linton benefits from an enlarged cabinet and propriety Wharfedale 'sandwich' cabinet design that features a resonance-reducing combination of particle board and MDF complemented with a layer of acoustic damping glue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA new bass unit and a more powerful motor system enhance the low-frequency performance, extending down to 32Hz! This results in a more dramatic and impactful low-end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the treble output, Super Linton features a lightweight fabric weave dome coated with special damping material and supported by a ceramic magnet motor system, contributing to its sweet and detailed character. The revised short horn profile ensures smooth response down to the upper midrange, and the new front plate design enhances high-frequency dispersion, matching the transient impact and detailing of the new bass unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA new rear chamber for the midrange drive unit works to cancel out mid-band specific back waves by intelligent layers of long-hair fibre, resulting in a more natural prominence of the vocal and instrument frequencies\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA new split-PCB crossover design serves to sew the drive units together while avoiding electromagnetic interference. The crossover also benefits from custom-specified components chosen for neutrality and optimum signal transfer. Super Linton even goes as far as employing PE dielectric and LCOFC cabling for pristine signal transfer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecognisable as having 'Linton DNA, the Super Linton's ID is a modest update. However, new considerations were made for the driver array and cabinet dimensions. Super Linton sits modestly taller than the current Linton model. This modest increase in dimensions means the Super Linton doesn't require anything different in footprint or spacing - in fact, it is designed to use the same optional Linton Stand for optimum positioning… while the much-cherished benefit of LP storage remains!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOur Take\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Wharfedale Super Linton Heritage Speakers honour the vintage charm of the swinging 60s with a distinctly modern twist, blending retro design with advanced 21st-century audio technology. Their understated appearance belies a powerful performance, making them formidable contenders within their category. Following the 2019 release of the current Linton model, which garnered impressive sales and awards, Wharfedale's Super Linton brings further enhancements, preserving Linton's rich legacy while offering an elevated experience. Designed as part of Wharfedale's iconic Heritage series, the Super Linton is engineered for those who appreciate high-quality sound in an attractive, nostalgia-infused package.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrue to the original \"Super\" concept, this new Super Linton iteration is equipped with an enlarged cabinet featuring a proprietary \"sandwich\" design for reduced resonance, ensuring clean and impactful low-end performance down to 32Hz. The new bass and treble units, coupled with a powerful motor system and innovative crossover design, provide greater detail, smoother response, and extended high-frequency dispersion. Enhanced with features like the split-PCB crossover and LCOFC cabling, the Super Linton's superior signal clarity and natural soundstage bring music to life. Slightly taller than its predecessor yet compatible with the original Linton Stand (available separately), it offers both a functional and aesthetic upgrade for music enthusiasts while preserving the convenience of LP storage - a beloved feature among collectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMain Features \u0026amp; Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesign: 3-Way Stand Mount Speakers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLinton Stands\u003c\/strong\u003e available separately\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnclosure Type: Bass Reflex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTransducer Complement: 3-Way\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBass Driver: 200mm (8\") Black Woven Kevlar Cone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMidrange Driver: 135mm (5\") Black Woven Kevlar Cone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTreble Driver: 25mm (1\") Soft Fabric Weave Dome\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSensitivity (2.0V @ 1m): 90dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecommended Amplifier Power: 25 - 200 Watts \"clean, undistorted power\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeak SPL: 110dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNominal Impedance: 6 Ohms (Compatible 8 Ohms)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimum Impedance: 3.9 Ohms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency Response (+\/-3dB): 39Hz ~ 20kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBass Extension (-6dB): 32Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrossover Frequencies: 550Hz and 2.5kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpeaker Wire Connections: Will accept Bare Wire, Spades or Banana Plugs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable Finishes: Black Oak, Mahogany, Walnut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions (WxHxD): 300 x 605 x 330mm (Terminals add 20mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 19.8 kg each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufacturer's Warranty: 5 Years\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eFeatures \u0026amp; Specifications Subject To Change Without Notice.

These aren't the cheapest stands but they're by no means the most expensive on the market. However, they are very well made and match the current and many previous Diamond series Bookshelf speakers perfectly.

These can be added as an option along with \"spike shoes\" if you have timber or tiled floors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA well deigned and constructed speaker stand is required to raise the high frequency drivers of bookshelf speakers to ear level for ideal vertical dispersion, couple the speaker to the floor to drain away vibrations of any kind and decouple the speaker from the floor to prevent any vibration feedback from contaminating the audio chain. The Diamond Stand serves all purposes thereby resulting in an almost holographic soundstage and exceptionally wide dynamic range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Do You Need Speaker Stands?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat question is often quickly followed up with another: \"Can't they just sit on the floor?\" The truth is you can put the speakers wherever you like but the location and positioning absolutely and significantly affect performance. When bookshelf sized speakers are placed on the floor or against a wall their sonic output becomes 'connected' to the floor or walls.

The only way we have found successful is to use lead shot available from most gun shops. At about $8 per kilo it is a tad expensive, but you don't need to fill them to the top. We would recommend between 5kg and 6kg per stand unless you have a heap more just lying around! Another suggestion has been to use washed 5mm aggregate.

And, despite the speakers' compact size, the soundstage they produce is substantial and engaging, their expressive midrange definition transitioning seamlessly with fluid high-frequency detail. The bass reaches surprising depths yet remains lucid, accurate and controlled, thanks to the speakers' advanced bass drivers and P-EQ bass reflex port.

For the bass\/mid drivers, the latest generation of Wharfedale's long-established woven Kevlar cones are bonded to a super-lightweight rubber surround, delivering remarkable clarity, texture and musical expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese cones are driven by a super-long-throw voice coil motor system, enabling low-frequency linearity and accuracy that is exceptional for such low-cost loudspeakers. The use of a specially shaped one-piece pole plate fitted with a copper cap reduces inductance and controls the magnetic flux, ensuring low distortion through the critical midrange area. Oversized ceramic magnets – a technology pioneered by Wharfedale in the 1960s – ensure high sensitivity, smooth response and absolute control of cone movement over lower bass frequencies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe driver assembly is mounted in a specially designed basket with a network of ribs to increase rigidity, thus improving transient impact.

Each crossover is carefully evaluated using a wide range of music, with the emphasis being on the lifelike reproduction of voices and instruments in addition to the dynamics of the musical performance. Crossover components feature low-loss polypropylene capacitors and laminated core inductors for optimum transfer of the music signal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe acoustically profiled cabinets feature 28mm-thick front baffles – a luxury, engineering touch to such low-cost speakers – profiled at the edges to reduce diffraction edge reflections at mid to high frequencies. Critical bracing of the cabinet panels contributes to the eradication of audible resonance and, combined with the rounded cabinet edges, yields a rigid base on which to mount the drive units. In addition, the cabinet walls are lined with a specially developed internal fibre, chosen for its outstanding absorbent qualities across a wide bandwidth. The result is that the listener hears the drive unit output unsullied by unwanted colourations caused by panel vibration or internal resonances, revealing more of the detail of the musical performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether the music is driving and energetic or soft and subtle, from rock and electronica to classical and jazz, the D300 Series speakers deliver captivating sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"main-features\"\u003eMain Features \u0026amp; Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesign: Atmos\/Elevation Surround Speaker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnclosure Type: Bass Reflex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBass Driver: 102mm Black Woven Kevlar Cone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTweeter: 25mm Soft Inch Dome\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImpedance: 8 Ohms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency Response: 100 Hz – 20 kHZ\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecommended Amplifier Power: 20 – 60W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions (WxHxD): 420 x 355 x 250 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 2.7kg Each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufacturer's Warranty: 5 Years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #800000;\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003eFeatures \u0026amp; Specifications Subject To Change Without Notice.

If you’re chasing a rich, immersive listening experience from a speaker that fits almost anywhere, the EVO5.1 delivers in spades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAMT High-Frequency Precision\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerhaps the most defining characteristic of the EVO5.1 is its high-frequency performance, driven by Wharfedale’s true AMT (Air Motion Transformer) driver. Instead of using a traditional dome or cone, which push air forward, AMTs move air by squeezing it through a pleated diaphragm made of ultra-thin light weight polymer. Strong magnets are positioned on either side of the diaphragm, creating a powerful magnetic field. When an audio signal passes through the conductive traces, the diaphragm is energised, causing the pleats to contract and expand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the pleats move, they 'squeeze' and 'expand' the air between them, pushing it out in a highly efficient manner. This allows the AMT to move four times more air than a traditional dome tweeter of the same surface area, delivering lower distortion (since the diaphragm moves less) and faster transient response (owing to lower mass and minimal movement). It also produces a wider frequency range and excellent horizontal dispersion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AMT unit developed for EVO 5 is larger than the EVO 4 equivalent - 35x70mm compared to 30x60mm - which further improves efficiency and dispersion. It also features a new sound-absorbing material that Wharfedale calls SilentWeave™, developed for the EVO 5 Series. this cotton\/felt hybrid is added to the cavity behind the diaphragm to reduce soundwave reflections inside the speaker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLower-Midrange and Bass Refinements\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo complement the advanced AMT high-frequency driver, Wharfedale has refined the midrange unit originally developed for the EVO4 series. Now featured in the three-way EVO5.2, EVO5.3 and EVO5.4 models, this upgraded driver uses a 50mm soft dome diaphragm designed for fast, detailed and wide-bandwidth performance. It delivers a seamless transition between the tweeter and bass drivers, ensuring a cohesive and natural sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fabric dome is treated with a special plasticiser damping compound and ventilated into a carefully engineered rear chamber. This chamber is shaped to diffuse and absorb unwanted rear energy, helping to maintain a clean and linear response. The result is exceptional midrange clarity across an impressively wide 800Hz to 5kHz range — a performance rarely achieved in this class.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRe-Engineered Cabinets\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach model in the EVO 5 series now features an optimally increased internal cabinet volume. The expanded cabinet volume contributes to deeper bass extension and improved overall sound dispersion, creating a more immersive and expansive audio field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe inclusion of a hybrid plinth, which combines metal and wood elements of the cabinet’s details, enhances structural integrity and reduces unwanted vibrations. This innovative base ensures that sound remains clean and uncoloured, free from external resonance artefacts. Whether you're placing the speakers on stands or in a well-ventilated bookshelf space, you'll get clean, controlled bass that feels right at home in both small and medium-sized rooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA Visual Statement\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe EVO5.1 looks every bit as premium as it sounds. The Walnut comes in a high-quality real wood veneer finish. While the White, Lunar Grey and Black are all finished in a smooth matt, which gives the speakers are more modern look and feel.

This is extremely rare in this category, and it sets the EVO5.2 apart immediately. Wharfedale has employed three dedicated drivers, a 6.5-inch Kevlar bass unit, a 50mm soft-dome midrange and a high-precision AMT tweeter, each handling their specific frequency band with precision and efficiency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis separation of duties allows each driver to operate within its ideal range, reducing distortion and increasing resolution across the frequency spectrum. The result is a speaker that performs with the finesse and control of a larger floorstander but in a more compact, room-friendly footprint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCustom Kevlar Bass Driver\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe low end is handled by a custom-designed 6.5-inch Kevlar cone woofer. Wharfedale has long favoured Kevlar for its ideal blend of rigidity and self-damping properties. In the EVO5.2, the cone is able to produce powerful and articulate bass without ever sounding bloated or loose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether you’re listening to the deep thrum of a double bass or the punch of a kick drum, the EVO5.2 produces low frequencies with impressive control and texture. Bass lines remain tight and rhythmic, anchoring the music with a sense of drive that keeps your foot tapping.

Originally developed for the EVO4 series and refined for EVO5, this driver is a revelation in midrange clarity and speed. It covers the critical vocal range with effortlessness, breathing life into both instruments and singers alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis soft dome is damped with a proprietary coating and vented into a specially profiled rear chamber. The chamber is engineered to scatter and absorb unwanted rear energy, giving the midrange a linear and transparent character from around 800Hz up to 5kHz. This wide bandwidth means that the driver never feels strained, no matter the material. From jazz quartets to orchestral strings, the EVO5.2 delivers presence and realism that keeps you immersed in the performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAir Motion Transformer Tweeter\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWharfedale’s use of an AMT (Air Motion Transformer) tweeter is another premium touch. AMT designs are typically found in much more expensive speakers due to the complexity of their construction, but Wharfedale has incorporated it seamlessly into the EVO5 range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike traditional dome tweeters that move air with a piston-like motion, the AMT works by squeezing air through a pleated diaphragm. This allows for much faster response times and significantly lower distortion, especially in the upper treble region. The EVO5.2 benefits from this with an airy, open top end that reveals the finest details in recordings. Cymbals shimmer with natural decay, reverb tails are beautifully extended, and subtle textures become audible without any harsh edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBest of all, the tuning of the AMT in the EVO5.2 avoids the common pitfalls of excessive brightness. It is revealing without being fatiguing, offering long listening sessions that remain engaging and comfortable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBalanced and Cohesive Sound Across the Board\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the most impressive aspects of the EVO5.2 is how seamlessly the three drivers integrate. Wharfedale’s crossover design is clearly a labour of love, ensuring that the transition between the bass, midrange and treble drivers is smooth and cohesive. There’s no sense of separation or disjointedness. The entire frequency range feels unified, which is critical for creating a believable stereo image and realistic instrument timber.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe soundstage is wide and deep, with precise imaging that lets you place each performer in the mix. Vocals hang in the air with convincing height, and instruments are rendered with proper weight and dimension.

The EVO5.4 delivers vocals that are rich and present, acoustic instruments that sound natural and uncoloured, and an overall midrange performance that pulls you into the recording.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWharfedale's AMT Tweeter\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWharfedale has equipped the EVO5.4 with an Air Motion Transformer (AMT) tweeter, a technology more commonly found in far more expensive loudspeakers. The AMT design allows air to move more quickly than a traditional dome tweeter, producing higher levels of detail and precision without harshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eElegant Cabinet Design\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe EVO5.4’s cabinet is more than just a good-looking box. It’s constructed using curved, multi-layered panels that reduce internal standing waves and improve overall rigidity. This means the cabinet does not add its own colouration to the sound, allowing the drivers to perform to their full potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRear-firing bass ports are precisely tuned to enhance the bass response without introducing chuffing or unwanted resonance. Placement is flexible, but like most rear-ported speakers, the EVO5.4 benefits from a bit of breathing room from the rear wall to fully open up its low-end performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinish options include real wood veneer in Walnut. Black, Lunar Grey and White matt finishes, each giving the EVO5.4 a premium look that blends easily with both modern and classic interiors. The attention to detail, from the driver surrounds to the rock-solid binding posts, gives these speakers a sense of refinement that matches their acoustic abilities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBuilt for Big Rooms and Serious Systems\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 1028mm tall and 302mm wide, the EVO5.4 is a substantial speaker that is ideal for larger listening rooms or open-plan spaces. Despite its size, it is relatively easy to drive thanks to a sensitivity of 90dB and a nominal 6-ohm impedance. This makes it compatible with a wide range of amplifiers, from quality integrated designs to high-current home theatre receivers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat said, the EVO5.4 deserves high-quality electronics to get the most out of its capabilities. Partner it with a good amplifier, you will hear it scale with ease. The better your source and amplification, the more this speaker gives you back in terms of depth, dynamics and resolution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Choose The Wharfedale EVO5.4 Floorstanding Speakers?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Wharfedale EVO5.4 Floorstanding Speakers are the flagship model in the EVO5 lineup for good reason.

Designed to complement the rest of the EVO5 range, this centre channel delivers stunning clarity, exceptional tonal balance and a sense of scale that gives movie dialogue and effects the presence they deserve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn any surround sound system, the centre speaker carries the majority of the dialogue and a large portion of the action. It needs to be fast, detailed and accurate, all while remaining tonally consistent with the front left and right speakers. The EVO5.C achieves all of this and more, thanks to its refined 2-way design, premium driver technology and acoustic craftsmanship that Wharfedale is renowned for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKevlar Woofers: Solid Bass Foundation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe EVO5.C features twin 5-inch woven Kevlar bass drivers that provide a solid and responsive low-frequency performance. These are the same type of drivers used across the EVO5 range, chosen for their excellent rigidity and damping characteristics. Kevlar’s ability to deliver tight, fast and clean bass ensures that lower male vocals, musical scores and deep effects maintain presence without becoming muddy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bass response is tuned to provide weight and fullness without overwhelming the all-important midrange. It means that voices sound natural and grounded, while explosions, engine sounds and musical swells are rendered with believable scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAMT High-Frequency Precision\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerhaps the most defining characteristic of the EVO5.1 is its high-frequency performance, driven by Wharfedale’s true AMT (Air Motion Transformer) driver. Instead of using a traditional dome or cone, which push air forward, AMTs move air by squeezing it through a pleated diaphragm made of ultra-thin light weight polymer. Strong magnets are positioned on either side of the diaphragm, creating a powerful magnetic field. When an audio signal passes through the conductive traces, the diaphragm is energised, causing the pleats to contract and expand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the pleats move, they 'squeeze' and 'expand' the air between them, pushing it out in a highly efficient manner. This allows the AMT to move four times more air than a traditional dome tweeter of the same surface area, delivering lower distortion (since the diaphragm moves less) and faster transient response (owing to lower mass and minimal movement). It also produces a wider frequency range and excellent horizontal dispersion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSeamless Integration with the EVO5 Series\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe EVO5.C has been voiced to perfectly match the rest of the EVO5 lineup, ensuring seamless integration in a multi-channel setup. Whether you’re pairing it with the EVO5.1 or EVO5.2 bookshelf speakers or the EVO5.4 floorstanders, you’ll experience a smooth tonal match and coherent front soundstage that tracks seamlessly from left to right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis matching across the range is essential for delivering a convincing home cinema experience. Panning effects feel more realistic, dialogue remains locked to the screen, and your overall immersion increases dramatically.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePlacement and Compatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 188mm high and 520mm wide, the EVO5.C is compact enough to fit on most AV furniture while still offering a full-bodied sound that can easily fill larger rooms. Rear bass ports assist with low-end reinforcement but benefit from a bit of breathing space to sound their best. Placement directly below the screen, angled slightly upward toward the listener, is ideal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith a sensitivity of 89dB and nominal impedance of 8 ohms, the EVO5.C is easy to drive, making it compatible with a wide range of AV receivers and power amplifiers. It performs brilliantly with mid-range systems, but it also scales with higher-end electronics, revealing more depth and finesse as your system improves\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAcoustic Cabinetry with Real Wood Finishes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJust like its siblings, the EVO5.C is housed in a beautifully curved cabinet made from multiple layers of wood. This construction method reduces internal resonances and standing waves, allowing the drivers to perform with greater accuracy. The curved profile is not just visually appealing, it also contributes to the clarity and neutrality of the sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe speaker is available in Black, Lunar Grey and White smooth matt finish and real wood veneer Walnut finish, all of which exude a high-end, furniture-grade aesthetic.

Perfect for small to medium rooms (or anywhere space is tight), they keep a low visual profile while delivering a sound that’s clean, balanced and surprisingly full-bodied. The 25mm textile dome tweeter is smooth and open without ever turning sharp, while the 4-inch Klarity™ mid\/bass driver - a clever polypropylene-and-mica blend - brings a lively, articulate character that feels fast and expressive. Under the hood, Wharfedale’s incremental tweaks to port tuning and internal damping have tightened up the bass, making it more controlled and confident in real-world rooms, not just lab conditions. Add in a properly engineered magnet system, a refined Linkwitz-Riley crossover with air-core inductors, and a cabinet designed to keep resonance on a short leash, and you’ve got a speaker that feels far more grown-up than its footprint suggests. Finished in All-Black, Classic Walnut or Stone Grey, the 12.0i carries forward Wharfedale’s long Diamond legacy with a fresh edge - subtle, sophisticated, and quietly brilliant.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wharfedale","offers":[{"title":"Classic Walnut","offer_id":44862570922120,"sku":"6978698280278","price":449.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Stone Grey","offer_id":44862570987656,"sku":"6978698280285","price":449.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black","offer_id":46097522294920,"sku":"6978698280261","price":449.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0663\/9317\/8248\/files\/wharfedale-diamond-12.0i-standmount-speaker-walnut-1.jpg?v=1772672225"},{"product_id":"wharfedale-diamond-12-1i-speakers","title":"Wharfedale Diamond 12.1i Speakers","description":"\u003ch2\u003eWharfedale Diamond 12.1i Bookshelf Speakers\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Wharfedale Diamond 12.1i is the middle bookshelf speaker in the ‘12i Series’.

Built on decades of Diamond heritage from Wharfedale, this latest iteration doesn’t reinvent the formula so much as sharpen it to a fine edge, with incremental cabinet tweaks and refined port tuning that genuinely tighten up the bass and clean up the low-end transitions. The 5-inch Klarity™ mid\/bass driver – a clever polypropylene and mica blend – delivers punchy, articulate mids with impressive transient snap, while the 25 mm textile dome tweeter keeps the top end smooth, open and beautifully dispersed without ever getting shouty. Under the hood, there’s proper engineering muscle too: a Linkwitz-Riley crossover with air-core inductors, a carefully optimised magnet assembly, and a low-resonance, multi-layer cabinet that feels reassuringly solid. Add the slick new finishes – from All-Black to Classic Walnut and Stone Grey – and you’ve got a bookshelf speaker that looks sharp, sounds bigger than it has any right to, and very likely earns its spot as the range’s best seller.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wharfedale","offers":[{"title":"Classic Walnut","offer_id":44862601527432,"sku":"6978698280308","price":524.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Stone Grey","offer_id":44862601560200,"sku":"6978698280292","price":524.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black","offer_id":46097504567432,"sku":"6978698280315","price":524.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0663\/9317\/8248\/files\/wharfedale-diamond-12.1i-standmount-speaker-stone-grey-1.jpg?v=1772674031"},{"product_id":"wharfedale-diamond-12-2i-speakers","title":"Wharfedale Diamond 12.2i Speakers","description":"\u003ch2\u003eWharfedale Diamond 12.2i Bookshelf Speakers\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Wharfedale Diamond 12.2i is the largest bookshelf speaker in the ‘12i Series’ range and is suited to medium to larger rooms where the 6.5” mid\/bass driver can really strut its stuff.

With a 6.5” Klarity™ mid\/bass driver ready to properly stretch its legs, these are compact stand mounts that can genuinely fill a medium to larger room without breaking a sweat. The magic is in the detail: that polypropylene-and-mica cone is light, stiff and beautifully controlled, backed by a serious magnet assembly and a properly engineered Linkwitz-Riley crossover with air-core inductors that you’d usually expect at a higher price point. Then there’s the subtle but meaningful port and damping refinements - months of testing, CFD modelling and marathon listening sessions - all translating into bass that’s tighter, cleaner and more articulate in real-world rooms. The 25 mm textile dome tweeter keeps things smooth and open up top, while the low-resonance cabinet and new finishes (All-Black, Classic Walnut with black baffle, and Stone Grey) give them a contemporary edge that looks as sharp as they sound. True to Wharfedale’s long-running Diamond legacy, the 12.2i doesn’t try to reinvent the formula - it just perfects it, and at this level, that’s seriously impressive.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wharfedale","offers":[{"title":"Classic Walnut","offer_id":44864668172424,"sku":"6978698280339","price":637.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Stone Grey","offer_id":44864668205192,"sku":"6978698280322","price":637.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black","offer_id":46097503813768,"sku":"6978698280346","price":637.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0663\/9317\/8248\/files\/wharfedale-diamond-12.2i-standmount-speaker-black-1.jpg?v=1772674891"},{"product_id":"wharfedale-diamond-12-3i-speakers","title":"Wharfedale Diamond 12.3i Speakers","description":"\u003ch2\u003eWharfedale Diamond 12.3i Floorstanding Speakers\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Wharfedale Diamond 12.3i is the smaller floorstanding speaker in the ‘12i Series’ range that strikes the perfect balance between room filling sound and a practical cabinet size that is easy to locate in any environment.

Listeners will notice the difference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA thorough port design effort led by Wharfedale’s Director of Acoustic Design, Peter Comeau, and senior engineers Dan Bailey Ornellas and Oliver Davies aimed to refine low-frequency performance through extensive empirical testing and listening evaluations. The development process lasted several months and included advanced techniques, such as laser interferometry, extensive anechoic and in-room measurements, and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to assess airflow and pressure in the port structure. Critical listening sessions - totalling hundreds of hours - were held to confirm the results. The outcome is a bass response that is better controlled and more articulate, with improved transitions between low and mid frequencies and consistent spatial performance, no matter the placement.
