Redefining Price-to-Performance Ratios: Wharfedale Diamond 12.2 Bookshelf Loudspeaker Features 6.5-Inch Klarity Driver, Plays Music with Emotion, Immediacy, and Depth Wharfedale Diamond 12.2, the largest bookshelf loudspeaker in the company's striking Diamond 12 Series, makes its strength known both visually and technologically: A powerful 6.5-inch driver. More on it below, but for now, understand that it combines with an array of other savvy elements – all completely redesigned from the ground up – to anchor a model that plays everything from rock to classical and jazz with engaging emotion, poise, openness, texture, depth, and immediacy. In other words, Diamond 12.2 basically redefines the price-to-performance ratio in the sub-$500 loudspeaker field. 100% Music Direct Guaranteed. Now, more about that midrange/bass driver. It arrives comprised of trademarked Klarity cone material – formulated from a blend of polypropylene and mica to add stiffness while remaining lightweight for low coloration and fast responsiveness. Fitted with a low-damping surround and shaped to achieve a flat response curve, it produces expressive dynamics even on complex material. It also touts a precision-crafted magnet system with an aluminum compensation ring to minimize the effect of variations in inductance as the voice coil travels, ultimately leading to an absence of distortion and intermodulation generated by the motor system. As for the aforementioned voice coil? It's wound on an epoxy/glass-fiber bobbin produces higher power handling than those assembled on aluminum machines – and claims a stiffness lacking on Kapton types normally found on speakers at this cost. Diamond 12.2 also shines when reproducing high frequencies. Manufactured from woven polyester film with a high-loss coating for open, smoothly extended high frequencies, its one-inch soft-dome tweeter boasts an optim

Great speakers if you like the classic British sound. Will require you to position them correctly, but that's no different from any other decent pair of speakers. Like one of the other reviewers I am using Cambridge Audio components. Recommend AXA35 rather than AXA25 for a bit more power. The comparable NAD amp ran hot and worried me so returned and the comparable NAD CD player was DOA (you can buy straight from the NAD open box store on eBay with easy returns but Cambridge Audio has a similar store there, too). Have Cambridge AXA10 streamer and DacMagic 200M and Yamaha S303 CD player used as transport. The streamer is the best piece of stereo equipment I have ever bought, and I started back a long time ago with Dynaco A25's and an AR turntable. If you haven't got one of those you should consider one as there are some really good ones now that are priced well (WiiM for example). Get what sounds good to you...everybody's ears are different.
5.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommended
Great size, great price, even better sound. Wonderful mix of heavy bass with crisp highs. I’m in my 60’s and it’s been a while since I enjoyed a room full of sound. I like my music loud and these Wharfedale speakers do the trick.
5.0 out of 5 stars These are great speakers.
The sound quality is really great. The only reason I did not keep them is that another pair of bookshelf speakers I auditioned had more detail in the treble and upper mid-range, were "airier," and did a slightly better job of sound-staging. My father had a pair of floor-standing Wharfedale speakers in the 70s. They were amazing. I really wanted to love these for the nostalgia, if nothing else, but I kept the other pair because they they sound was more to my taste. I have listened to six different pairs of bookshelf speakers in recent months. If you like slightly "warmer," English sounding speakers, these are the best you can get in this price range.
5.0 out of 5 stars old ears appreciate sound quality
Sept 2021. Delivery was prompt. No damage to the box. These are British design loudspeakers. Their price range makes them a very good pick for those on a budget. I have them connected to a Cambridge Audio AXA25 integrated amp and a Cambridge Audio AXC35 budget CD player. Both also of British design. Being retired, I have to watch my budget, but I do still appreciate quality sound. PS....... I have them pointed inward, for "near-field" effect. Makes a difference in a small room.
Excelente sonido

Pero muy satisfecho con su sonido que disfruto mucho con mi perrita que también pide se le ponga música en estas bocinas
