Wharfedale Diamond 9.1 > Reviews

Advantages: Deep bass for a small speaker, nice look, UK made speaker
Disadvantages: A litte bit on the bright side, will need support from a subwoofer

When I first saw this speaker in the showroom, I was not quite tempted that it would be the one I have been looking for. Short on budget, since I had to build a system from nothing, having been able to sell my Home Theater in a Box for 70% of its original price and with some extra from my saving, I planned to look for a speaker system which can start up a decent stereo system which can be developed into a full home theater system once I will be able ...

Advantages: Clear and distinct; very bright sound; great for classical music

I use a pair of these speakers in my second system in the kitchen. I recently sold the floorstanders from my main system and decided to use the Diamonds until I could afford replacements. Coupled to my Musical fidelity kW 550 amp (£5000 and 700 watts per channel)Placed on top of some serious stands(Partington Heavi 1) I was completely bowled over by the sound of these small monitors, deep well controlled bass, beautiful midrange and a smooth, sweet and non fatiguing top end. I cannot recommend these speakers highly enough. There isn't anything that I don't like about these speakers. The finish, although not real wood veneer, looks great( mine are black). Try these speakers in your system, you won't be disappointed!
