Wharfedale AURA 4 Floorstanding Speakers Review: A New Benchmark in Sonic Excellence
In this Wharfedale AURA 4 Floorstanding Speakers review, we'll explore why these magnificent towers represent a significant leap forward in acoustic engineering. As an audiophile reviewer at The Audio Tailor, I've had the pleasure of experiencing many speakers, but the AURA 4 stands out with its remarkable combination of technical prowess and musical engagement.
Design and Build Quality
The AURA 4's cabinet construction is nothing short of exemplary. The multi-layer lacquered finish isn't just about aesthetics - it's a carefully engineered solution for minimising unwanted resonances. Available in stunning Black, White, or Walnut finishes, these speakers make a bold visual statement while serving their acoustic purpose.
Technical Excellence
- Advanced Air Motion Transformer (AMT) tweeter for exceptional high-frequency detail
- 4" Glass Fibre Matrix Cone midrange driver
- Dual 6.5" Glass Fibre Matrix Cone bass drivers
Sonic Performance
The AURA 4's frequency response of 37Hz-22kHz ensures remarkable bass extension while maintaining crystalline highs. The SLPP (Slot Loaded Profiled Port) design delivers controlled, articulate bass that never overwhelms the midrange.
Integration and Versatility
With a sensitivity of 89dB and compatibility with amplifiers from 30-200W, these speakers are remarkably versatile. Give our team a call on 1300 308 711 to discuss the ideal amplifier pairing for your setup.
