Wharfedale Denton 85th Anniversary Bookshelf Speakers

Experience the resonant harmony of past and present fused together with the Wharfedale Denton 85th Anniversary Bookshelf Speakers. Handcrafted with an exquisite Mahogany exterior by the seasoned hands of Wharfedale cabinet makers, these speakers blend perfectly into a traditional room décor while concealing state-of-the-art technology beneath. The unique facade features an inset front baffle and an old-timey Tungsten cloth grille, designed to transport your auditory senses back to a charming bygone era, right in the heart of your living room.

But don't let its vintage visage fool you. Housing a pioneering woven Kevlar cone mounted on a solid die-cast chassis, the Denton 85th Anniversary emits a penetrating bass and midrange output that redefines sonic brilliance. The high-end frequencies are not left out, precisely channelled through a woven textile soft dome tweeter equipped with a high flux ferrite magnet, offering an exquisitely smooth and detailed high-frequency extension.
