Wharfedale Diamond 12.1

Wharfedale Diamond 12.1 began with a clean slate in this case, and it shows. Almost everything has been replaced compared to the classic version - from the storage units to the box structure. As a result, a pair of tiny, 31cm-tall boxes are incorporated that contribute to the most budget-friendly hi-fi components.

The sound of this Wharfedale Diamond 12.1 is well-structured, coherent, and musical. It produces an excellent soundstage that is spacious and steady - even when the songs become multilayered and more demanding. We also like the Diamonds' comfortable handling of larger-scale dynamics, which delivers much more authority and scope than one would anticipate from speakers of their size and price range.

However, this is a competitive market after all, and Wharfedale's outstanding stand mounters are, not surprisingly, besieged by other more skilled competitors (such as the Elac Debut B5.2). Nonetheless, the excellent Diamond 12.1 deserves to be at the top of your consideration.
