Wharfedale Diamond 230 Floorstanding speakers, 40 to 20000 Hz pristine Condition

Wharfedale Diamond 230 Floorstanding speakers, 40 to 20000 Hz pristine Condition. They are bass reflex downward firing ported which means they are not fussy about room placement. Frequency response is 40 to 20,00 Hz. They have a 8 ohm nominal impedance.

Size W x H x D in mm is 196 x 963 x 334 and they weigh 17.8KG. Ideal for medium-sized rooms, the Wharfedale Diamond 230 offers the deep, powerful sound you'd expect from floorstanding speakers whilst keeping the overall dimensions relatively compact.

Using a second, dedicated bass woofer, the Diamond 230 punches hard. Not only does this second woofer unit increase the depth and volume of bass, it also helps to'fill out' the sound at lower volumes, making this an ideal speaker for use at all volume levels.

As with other Diamond 200-series speakers, the woofers are formed from woven Kevlar and feature textured ribbing for added rigidity. A revised magnet system gives even tighter control of the sound.

When combined, it gives the Diamond 230 a precise, accurate sound with a crisp mid-range and true sense of realism. At the other end of the scale the treble unit is surrounded by a deeply dished waveguide. This helps to improve the imaging and'width' of sound, making it easier to pick out individual instruments. The treble also provides loads of detail without ever sounding unrefined.

Put together, the overall sound quality is fantastically well-balanced and natural with a solid bass to underpin the music. New to the Wharfedale Diamond 230 is a sandwich cabinet design. Rather than the simple chipboard and MDF used by the previous Diamond 155, the new 230 uses particle board sandwiched by MDF on either side.

This new type of construction gives superb rigidity and damping properties, helping to further reduce the already low levels of distortion. A further benefit is the smooth, MDF construction that offers up a cleaner surface for the veneer to be applied to; meaning a smoother finish all round. Also new is the gloss finished baffle, making the speakers far more pleasing to the eye. As before, the Diamond 230 ports the bass via an integral plinth, rather than the more usual front or rear holes. This not only provides a more efficient and even bass output but also makes the speaker easier to place as you don't have to take wall positioning into account as much.

Each driver has its own individual cover which can be left on or removed. The Speakers include screw in spikes but no spike cups. With its effortless all-round ability, the Wharfedale Diamond 230 is hard to beat. They are in a very good condition and not been heavily used, as good as they are, I decided I needed some physically smaller speakers. Due to the size and weight these are collect from Birmingham only. Having said that I do have loud speakers boxes that they would fit in (not the correct ones but they would work) and I would be willing to make a nice job of packing them if you want to arrange for a courier to come and collect them from me and deliver to you. That tho, would be at your cost and risk. This item is in the category "Sound & Vision\Home Audio & HiFi Separates\Speakers & Subwoofers".
