A transference of an elegant tradition to a stylish, contemporary design, these speakers are situated in a class of their own. For the spirited audiophile, the DIAMOND 12.2 luxuriates in its enhanced volume and enlarged driver size that offers a potent and captivating performance every time. Ideally suited for sizeable rooms and potent 2-channel hi-fi systems, the speaker features an all-new high-performance 150mm KlarityTM driver for extended, tight bass, matched with a remarkable 25mm woven polyester dome tweeter for open and smoothly extended high frequencies.

Masterfully crafted with a Klarity™ cone material, these speakers effortlessly blend rigidity and lightweight design, for a low colouration, and lightning-quick response. Drawing all power from a precision-engineered magnet system with an aluminium compensation ring, these bookshelf speakers minimise any distortion and intermodulation to produce an unmatched sound quality. Combined with a sturdy voice coil and a front plate designed for wide dispersion, every note reverberate with life and authenticity. The DIAMOND 12.2 even boasts an innovative Intelligent Spot Bracing in its cabinet, specifically modelled to reduce cabinet resonance and refine your listening experience. With an expressive dynamic performance and subtlety in execution, the Wharfedale DIAMOND 12.2 Bookshelf Speakers imparts a sound that resonates elegance as much as it does power.

  7. Optimised Magnet System and Front Plate: To ensure wide dispersion and uncompressed behaviour, the magnet system and front plate have been specially optimised.
