Heritage: A desirable trait that cannot be bought, falsified, or duplicated. Wharfedale's 80th Anniversary Edition Denton bookshelf loudspeaker celebrates tradition and honors the excellence of a company that continues to perform to the same exalted standards it did more than eight decades ago. Wharfedale has always been committed to serving you, the music lover. Renowned for its warm, inviting, and rich character, the Denton plays a big role in that history.
"There aren't many audio companies that have been around to celebrate 80 years in the business. But Wharfedale has marked that impressive milestone with the Denton stand mounters. These are immensely likeable. Their relaxed yet engaging sound has a lot of appeal. They're fully capable of delivering a large slice of sonic heaven [and] we can't think of a rival at this price that will suit you better!"
–What Hi-Fi?
Multiple enhancements, along with the strong tie to one of the finest legacy's in audio, ensure music lovers of all stripes will want this model. The bass unit boasts a standard-setting woven Kevlar cone mounted on a ridged die-cast chassis, while the drive units are paired with a meticulous crossover to achieve seamless balance and performance. Denton's cabinet walls utilize Wharfedale's distinguished sandwich wood construction, leading to improved panel resonance, decreased internal vibrations, and diminished colorations. The end result: An alluring compact loudspeaker that fuses utmost craftsmanship, pure sonics, and incredible value. Wharfedale wouldn't have it any other way.
Appointed with hand-veneered mahogany, and insert front baffle, and traditional Tungsten cloth grille, Denton beckons you to see them to really understand what they offer visually and sonically. That means you have to get them i

After taking a hiatus from audio after adopting 4 kids, I needed a small speaker for my new listening room and these fit the bill. The price was also reasonable. I paired them with my mid-70s Yamaha CA-800 integrated amp and they sounded great! Excellent midrange (especially given the price) and adequate bass for my listening taste- classical and jazz. I later was able to snag a pair of vintage Dynaudio Focus 110 which were a bit more $$$. In comparing the two they were pretty close with the nod going to the Dynaudio's more defined and extended hi-end as it should considering the 110's new cost was about 3x the Denton. I gave the Yamaha/Denton to my son who still listens to them. The Yammie was replaced by a vintage Accuphase E202. WOW!!! At 70, my hearing ain't so great anymore, but I still appreciate the Dentons in my sons system. For the bucks, they are hard to beat.
5.0 out of 5 stars If you're interested, don't hesitate, just buy them!
I don't normally review things, because I figure people will buy what they want to buy, regardless of my humble opinion. After all, as Ferris Bueller so eloquently inquired, "who am I?" However, in this case, I had to make an exception. These speakers surpassed my expectation and then some. I've been wanting to put together a 2-channel budget audiophile system for some time now, but I wanted speakers that had a nice aesthetic, not the typical black/faux black veneer you see on most speakers. Vintage was the preferred look, but most vintage speakers on the used market are well worn and may need a bit of work before they're ready. Then I came across these. I liked the look, but the price was a bit steep for me, or at least what I wanted to pay. But, I liked the look. So, I started doing some research. I will tell you now that you won't find much, if anything that looks this nice for this price point, that has the impedance, frequency range, or response. You might find a bit of this, or that, or pay a lot more, but there isn't anything that I could find that matched these specs. Long story short, the speakers arrived yesterday. The speaker wire arrived today. I hooked them up to a NAD 316BEE 2-Channel 40W Amp, and these things are amazing. The clarity is outstanding and there's even a fair amount of bass. Angle them to your seat, chair, or couch, and you'll be enveloped by the sound. It's incredible. Listening to your library, is like hearing most of the songs for the first time. And, you'll definitely be able to tell which bands/labels spent some extra time in the studio. Keep in mind these aren't 12" subs, so you won't be shattering any glass or winning any competitions at your block party, but for a small room these round out a budget audiophile system quite nicely. If you're an audiophile, or better yet, just starting out, I think you'll be hard pressed to beat these.
5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Speakers!
I am blown away by these speakers. I did quite a bit of research before purchasing, but without hearing them, it was hard to pull the trigger with so many options out there. I am extremely impressed with the Dentons. I am a self professed audiophile wannabe, but due to budget constraints, haven't had that much experience with high quality speakers. These have exceeded whatever expectations I may have had. The sound stage is so incredible, my dog seems to be having a hard time discerning all the sounds he (or I) have never heard in albums that have been played many many times. He keeps twitching his head around, trying to figure out where the sounds are coming from, as the sound stage truly makes everything 3 dimensional. I am listening to Paul Weller Stanley Road on vinyl right now and it's absolutely a whole other level listening experience, and I've listening to this album hundreds of times. As others mentioned, the bass is exceptional. Even though it's been commented on I still didn't believe it would be quite as revelatory. I have it paired with an old silver faced Pioneer sx-780 and the Advent loudspeakers on the "b" channel, hell of a combo. Final thoughts; I have the setup in my living room which is mid century modern furniture, the walnut matches perfectly with the Danish furniture. Online, the red mahogany looks better but the Walnut looks fantastic in person. Couldn't be happier with this purchase. $500 isn't something to sneeze at, but these BLOW AWAY the Polk's I replaced (can't remember the model #, but run $280 on Bolo), they weren't not even close, as nice as those were in their own way. I highly recommend these, again exceeded my expectations!!
3.0 out of 5 stars Nice speakers - bad seller
I like these speakers, they take a while to break in. They are a 7/10 sound quality for the money. I don’t think the seller does a good job. Their return policy is buried in the listing. I wanted to try them out and return them but it was going to cost over $100 for shipping and they wouldn’t work with me. I’d buy from Crutchfield.
4.0 out of 5 stars A Truly Honest Amazon Dealer
This is a very well made and beautiful speaker but it just doesn’t fit my needs. The Seller is very reputable and honest and I’d buy from them again in a second, really great folks.
1.0 out of 5 stars Don’t rely on others peoples on speaker reviews.
No one can tell you what you like.Buy a few and return what you don’t like.The Dentons were beautiful to look at but gave me listening fatigue in mere minutes…But, YOU may love them.
5.0 out of 5 stars Not sure they could do much to make these sound better.
I consider myself to be an amateur audiophile so take that for what it's worth. When these arrived the other day I was curious if I would be able to tell much difference between the Wharfedales and my current speakers. The very first song I put on I could not believe the sonic and sound quality. I have heard several times speakers, and especially the Dentons, require a break in period. If that's the case than I'm ecstatic because every song I have played so far sounds like the angels are my personal symphony. The separation of sound the fullness and lifelike imaging are simply sublime. I would think Wharfedale should be asking 1k for these easy.
Awesome

They look great and sound great.
Stylish and sounds great
This is my first decent pair of speakers. So I have little reference, but I enjoy the sound very much. It has a very full sound signature with decent bass for the size. I use them in a flat in room about 20mm2. In this setup even with a low power vintage akai amplifier they get quite loud. I can recommend them, but again if you can test them beforehand as your experience may vary.
Musik ist dumpf !!
Geht gar nicht . Da ist ein Teppich vor der Stereobühne . Der Ton ist angenehm , aber die Verfärbung ist zu doll . Ich habe jetzt an meinem Klein und Hummel ES 60 Verstärker zwei alte , ramponierte Klein und Hummelboxen hängen . Mit nur 35 Watt pro Box geht hier mehr ab als mit der Wharfedale .
