Wharfedale Diamond 12.1 Walnut Bookshelf Speaker, Pair

Building on Wharfedale's Diamond reputation If you've spent a lot of time reading speaker reviews (like me), you may have noticed a trend with Wharfedale's Diamond Series speakers. They're continually praised for offering excellent sound at an affordable price. Sure, there's a level of additional performance to be had if you want to spend a whole lot more. But the Diamond 12.1 bookshelf speakers can certainly hold their own against lots of more expensive models. New high-tech drivers These speakers are a complete redesign from the previous generation. The 5-inch Klarity(tm) woofer is a mica-infused polypropylene cone. What does that mean? Polypropylene is very light, so it responds quickly to audio signals - important for any speaker to reproduce music accurately. Mica is a mineral that adds stiffness to the polypropylene. That keeps the woofer from losing its shape, which can cause distortion. Combined with the 1-inch soft-dome tweeter, these new Klarity woofers offer sound that's impressively accurate and smooth. Great for stereo or rounding out a surround system This is a great pair of speakers if you're putting together your first "real" stereo system, or if you want an affordable system for a secondary room. Either way, I recommend pairing them with a good amplifier - they'll definitely benefit from solid power. These speakers would also make excellent rear speakers in a surround sound setup.
