Wharfedale AURA 4 Floorstanding Speakers

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

AURA 4 Cabinet Design

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

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.
