As seasoned audiophiles at The Audio Tailor, we've experienced countless centre channels, but this one demands special attention for its remarkable ability to anchor a home theatre system with unprecedented clarity and precision.
First Impressions and Build Quality
The moment you lay eyes on the AURA CS, its premium construction becomes evident. The multi-layer lacquered cabinet, available in sophisticated Black, White, or Walnut finishes, speaks volumes about Wharfedale's commitment to excellence. The glass fibre matrix cones sit proudly behind the magnetically attached grille, while the AMT (Air Motion Transformer) high-frequency transducer hints at the acoustic excellence that awaits.
Acoustic Performance
The AURA CS's sonic signature is characterised by its exceptional clarity and articulation. The AMT high-frequency transducer delivers dialogue with crystalline precision, while the dual 5-inch mid-range/bass drivers ensure that every nuance of the centre channel information is conveyed with authority.
