WharfedaleDiamond 12.1 Bookshelf or Standmount Speakers (Light Oak)

If you’re looking at getting your first HiFi speakers or you are like me sat looking at pair of speakers you’ve had for the last 15 to 20 years and thinking I could do with something new, then don’t look any further than the Wharfedale 12.1 I’ve replaced a pair of B&W 686 and I couldn’t be any happier with this purchase, the build and sound quality for £249 is exceptional, after two days running these in I find myself digging through my cd collection playing disc after disc, the detail and soundstage these speakers deliver is really good, even streaming through Apple Music and Amazon these speakers deliver.I’ve got them connected to a Cyrus 6 amp bi-wired sat on atacama stands spiked to the floor just a few inches from the wall and yeah I’m blown away with everything about them and they look great as well.

Solid build (heavy for size) nice sound

Wharfedale just keep on doing it, here we have a pair of quality budget entry speakers for a reasonable & modest outlay Build quality for the money is superb Had mine a couple of weeks now & being used continously are well & truly run in Sound, again for your outlay is excellent, keeping in mind you're feeding them with a decent source, so no complaining here, In my humble opinion to me they sound very similar to my Q Acoustic 3020i with a familiar sound stage , separation & presence but no surprises there as they're designed by the same guy Fink Anyway if you're looking for great quality budget speakers without a ig outlay then buy with confidence, no sweat 😀

Nice robust solid speakers. One cool thing is the front grills are magnetic and easily removed and refitted. Sound great, although still need a good few hours of “running in” to get full feel for audio. Bi connections are good quality, using banana sockets.

Sounded too bass heavy for my taste. Prefer my Diamond 9.1s. Balanced presentation of 9.1s I found more pleasing.

All the "actual reviews" are good, so I'm hopeful!Great price, great supplier, great delivery.

I like the size of these speakers not to big but have a room filling sound

I’ve only had these. A couple of days not run in yet bet all I can say these are great. I’ve gone from my my neat motive 3 and these are far superior than my 15 year old motives which is a great speaker. But the treble and bass are great can’t wait for these to be run in. Very satisfied customer. Bean.
