With bags of detail and seamless cohesion between the components, this system creates an excellent sound, even in small rooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWharfedale is a British company with a long and distinguished history in hi-fi and home cinema, and here it brings its considerable sonic know-how to the compact systems market. The Wharfedale DX-2 brings you a full 5.1 cinema setup in a single box for a very affordable price, which is fantastic value for money considering the sound quality is spot-on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElegant and compact, the new cinema package exudes not only a modern aesthetic but also boasts an excellent performance capability. The DX-2 consists of four beautifully sculptured satellite speakers - two for the front and two for the rear - plus a similarly diminutive and matching centre speaker and these are matched to a compact active subwoofer that has been engineered with a new generation Class D amplifier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSatellite Speakers:\u003c\/strong\u003e We call them satellite speakers because they are a small, compact design. The speakers take their design cues from the multi-award-winning Wharfedale Diamond 10.1 standmount speakers, with their curved cabinets and silver-finished cone surrounds, albeit shrunk to a much smaller size – the satellite speakers are just 190mm high and feature a 19mm (0.75\") Tweeter and 75mm (3\") Mid\/bass driver. The sealed cabinet design means they can be placed close to walls without affecting performance. Each satellite feels weighty and solid, with none of the plastic flimsiness you get from some one-box systems. They feel like proper high-quality hi-fi speakers, built to squeeze as much audio goodness from the source as possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCentre Speaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e The centre speaker features dual 75mm (3\") drivers paired up with the 19mm (0.75\") Tweeter to deliver rich and detailed sound. It also uses what's called an aperiodic loading system to give it a boost in the low frequencies, consisting of a vent filled with resistive foam to control airflow. Its frequency response is slightly wider than the sats (80Hz – 20kHz). With the same drivers used throughout all five speakers everything knits together perfectly to form a convincing and absorbing 3D soundstage, underpinned by the power and punch of the subwoofer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSubwoofer:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Wharfedale Moviestar DX-2 is one of the smallest and least intrusive subwoofers you will ever come across, measuring a tiny 285 x 318 x 320mm. It's cube shaped and aesthetically matched to the satellites with its sleek gloss finish and curved edges. A grill on the front hides the 200mm woofer and all the important but rarely used controls are housed on the back. It features Auto Power on\/off, independent volume control and a phase switch if you are placing somewhere other than at the front.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpeaker Terminals:\u003c\/strong\u003e The impressive build quality continues on the back with the inclusion of sturdy metal binding posts as opposed to the spring-clips more associated with speakers at this price-point. You'll also find pre-attached keyhole brackets on the back for wall hanging, as well as an M6 threaded insert compatible with universal wall mount brackets (sold separately).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpeaker Cable:\u003c\/strong\u003e The package does not come with speaker cable.

Whatever you're watching, this speaker package will transport you into the heart of the action. Will work fine with a 5.1-channel Receiver in the $500 to $1000 price-range.
