Wharfedale Diamond 12.2 Pairs Passive Shelf Speakers Walnut

These are fantastic speakers. The sound is amazing especially with hi res audio or quality vinyl pressings. How Long is now by Liro Rantala is a fantastic recording and these speakers do it justice. Amazing for the price

Excellent speakers, great look and sound, would recommend.

Wharfedale have had a good reputation over many years. So I focussed on their range when I was looking to replace my 1972 vintage Goodmans. Having examined wired speakers specifications and compatible with my Denon PMA720AE amp I decided on Diamond 12.2. They have a very clear sound with a good bass and high frequency response. We have a quite a large living room. They are placed at one end three metres apart and on top of bookcase - which contributes to the bass. I was expecting to pay more for this quality. I registered for the free 3-year warranty.

Amazing speakers at the price and by price, I only mean three hundred quid is budget level for speakers. I am very impressed with the level of detail being reproduced, I'm really chuffed that I'm now hearing the 2kHz-10kHz range, that "brilliance" or "treble" at the top end of the range that for too long has been absent from my old speakers. I bought these for an unfair challenge, to replace my expensive Bose club speakers which were failing at last after 40 years-plus. I'm very relieved because incredibly, I'm happier with these. Even though the expensive Bose which were 40% larger and these 12.2's aren't supposed to be a fair comparison. I congratulate Wharfedale for giving such a lot of speaker for so little dosh which will probably win out over a lot of old speakers and improve the midrange, treble and fidelity of detail. I think the tremendous detail of these 12.2's is their strongest point. Summary. Yes my old Bose were brutes with a big presence, but although that presence is down (in fairness to Wharfedale about that, I ought to have bought and compared Wharfedales double the wattage (120 watts) and double the price of these ones. These 12.2's are a match with my Sony amp but having had the Bose brutes, I have found that I just need to set the volume 10% higher and all is good.

Wow just wow. I am no audiophile and always had basic hi fi equipment but my new setup including these Wharfedale 12.2 speakers is fantastic. What a difference to my music be it from my turntable, cd player, Bluetooth or Internet radio. These speakers are high quality, they look and sound great. I nearly saved 50 quid so by going for smaller speakers but so glad I went for these. Even at low volumes I am hearing new sounds that my old system never picked up. I am looking forward to playing all of my music again to appreciate how they should really sound.

Ignore these speakers at your peril. I needed to replace and upgrade my decades old Celestion Ditton speakers and after much research I decided upon the Wharfedale Diamonds. The soundstage on these speakers is terrific, with great depth and clarity. They handled everything from Little Feat to Joe Bonamassa & Beth Hart to Led Zeppelin and Supertramp. In addition, these are heavy speakers with great build quality as you would expect from Wharfedale.

The performance defies the price tag of these. Very impressive.

Very revealing, lots of base , just right in my mind

Si tratta di un diffusore che vale certamente più del suo prezzo,. considerato che per poco più di euro 300,00 a coppia il Diamond 12.2 è un diffusore che pesa otto chili abbondanti, è idoneo (4 connettori invece di 2) al bi-wiring ed al bi-amping ed è dotato di una bella estetica tendente al "classico" ed al "robusto". Per quanto riguarda il suono, a mio avviso, non vi sono criticità e, se il basso è particolarmente corposo e presente, i medi e gli alti ci sono e si fanno valere, come dimostra la bella resa, ad esempio, di voci femminili e di assoli di sax alto. Certamente non siamo ai livelli di resa sonora che possono garantire coppie di diffusori da scaffale dal prezzo di euro 1.500,00 in su ma nella fascia di prezzo del Wharfedale Diamond 12.2 resta arduo trovare di meglio

Mi occorrevano delle casse da collegare al mio amplificatore vintage per ascolto di vinili e dovendole sistemare obbligatoriamente su un armadio ho dovuto cercare nella categoria delle bookshelf. Dopo molti ripensamenti ho deciso di acquistare queste Wharfedale Diamond 12.2 con ottime recensioni e devo dire che non sono affatto deluso. Ottimo suono, bassi corposi e grandi medio alti. Consigliatissime. Unico neo la consegna, il corriere si è presentato con la scatola rotta da un lato. Fortunatamente l'imballo interno era grandioso ed ha preservato le casse. Un po' più di attenzione soprattutto con pacchi delicati come questo.

I diffusori Wharfedale 12.2 suonano benissimo, suono pieno di alti bassi e medi, soundstage notevole, e il venditore e’ stato cordiale, efficiente e veloce

Ottima qualità costruttiva e design. Non sono un grande intenditore ma la qualità del suono (se pure dipende da sorgente e amplificatore) è indubbiamente elevata. Le uso su uno scaffale (consiglio di metterle ad altezza della testa dell'ascoltatore) in una stanza di circa 30mq. Consigliate.

un bel dettaglio su medi e alti, una buona scena sonora, bassi corposi ma io amo i bassi di casse chiuse vintage (AR). così suonano insieme a delle ar 92 e sono uno splendido connubio.
