Wharfedale ZDK-S300-BLK Zaldek 3-Way Bookshelf Speaker 125W (RMS) - NEW (PAIR)

The Zaldek series is not just a statement of style; the high sensitivity of the Zaldek range (more decibels per watt of music power) reveals more of the music. While this makes them very loud, precision needs to be maintained. It is the responsive voice coils and diaphragms tracking the music signal very accurately that ensures the additional detail is never swamped. Whilst every effort has been made to ensure these speakers will produce simply awesome sound pressure levels from even the most modest amplification, these are not the blunt instruments that most speakers in this mould become, for although their power is incredible, the refinement and precision expected from Wharfedale speakers remains undiluted – they are truly gentle giants.

A radical departure from the norm, the brand new Zaldek range is designed specifically for the dance and rock music enthusiast. A high-octane blend of adrenaline and power with serious hi-fi undertones, these speakers are for the discerning listener who loves to live life on the edge.

Exceptionally sensitive drive units are used throughout the range to extract every ounce of music power from any amplifier. Hand-wound, massively oversize voice coils provide the impetus for our ultra-lightweight ‘True Blue’ polypropylene laminate sandwich cones. These provide a taut, controlled bass response with enough dynamic ‘slam’ to impress even the most hedonistic hardcore rockers. The horn-loaded tweeter used on all models in the range provides both excellent directivity and very low distortion. Neodymium powered, Ferro-fluid cooled
tweeters produce a clean, crisp treble, with no trace of harshness. A good tweeter is all about timing, and these beauties have the accuracy
necessary to produce a vivid and expansive stereo image well beyond the confines of the listening area.

Using a horn-loaded mid-range extends these virtues down through the frequency spectrum to the point where directivity is no longer important and the bass drivers take over. A strong, MDF cabinet finishes the job, ensuring that the maximum amount of energy is employed in the act of producing music.
