Description

Five-Inch Klarity Driver, Soft-Dome Tweeter, and Advanced Bracing Anchor Diamond 12.1: Wharfedale Bookshelf Loudspeaker Plays Music with Definition, Focus, Energy, and Insight It may not physically resemble the precious stone from which it takes its name, but everything about the Wharfedale Diamond 12.1 bookshelf loudspeaker shines. Like all of its Diamond 12 Series counterparts, the range's medium-sized monitor-style unit arrives completely redesigned from the ground up to set new performance benchmarks in its class. Allowing listeners generous freedom of placement, the two-way bass-reflex speaker renders sought-after detail, tonality, texture, depth, and space from your recordings with investigative insight, engaging definition, and thrilling energy. Able to play with a satisfying low end, Diamond 12.1 touts a five-inch bass driver comprised of trademarked Klarity cone material – formulated from a blend of polypropylene and mica to add stiffness while remaining lightweight for low coloration and fast responsiveness. Fitted with a low-damping surround and shaped to achieve a flat response curve, it produces expressive dynamics even on complex material. Diamond 12.1 also possesses a precision-crafted magnet system with an aluminum compensation ring to minimize the effect of variations in inductance as the voice coil travels, ultimately leading to an absence of distortion and intermodulation generated by the motor system. As for the aforementioned voice coil? It comes wound on an epoxy/glass-fiber bobbin produces higher power handling than those assembled on aluminum machines – and claims a stiffness lacking on Kapton types normally found on speakers at this price level.

  • Best I have ever owned
Out of the box these sound amazing. This is even before they had to time to break in. They sound so warm and smooth. Vinyl sounds pure and from the 1970s and 1980s. This is the exact sound I was looking for. I wish I had bought them sooner

  • I really wanted to like these.
These speakers are well made and very attractive. Really good bass response for a speaker this size. Imagining and sound staging are also excellent at the price. Now the but…. The upper frequency response is so rolled off you can’t hear things you can hear on other speakers. It’s like there’s missing music. There’s detail but something is missing. I switched back and forth between some other similar speakers I have and it’s very apparent. There’s almost no “attack”. ... show more

  • Diamonds for sure!
I picked these up upon all the rave reviews and loved the overall tonality, Soundstage and imaging. They are excellent sounding speakers! My only issue was they had port noise issues. Occasionally the dampening material would rattle on the port tube and was annoying. I sent them back and moved up to the 12.2, much happier and no port noise issue! ... show more
