Wharfedale Diamond 10.2 Bookshelf Speakers

Wharfedale Diamond 10.2 Bookshelf Speaker
Big Brother to Wharfedale 10.1 Boasts Larger Driver/Cabinet, Tremendous Benefits - Our Best Seller Under $500

Delivers Low-End Authority, Midrange Liquidity and High-End Smoothness You Didn't Think Possible from a Compact Loudspeaker

What can an extra $100 buy you in today's high-end market? In the case of Wharfedale's 10.2 bookshelf speaker, more than you probably think. For starters: Increased bottom end. More extension. A richer midrange. Heightened realism and instrumental accuracy. The big brother to Wharfedale's top-rated 10.1 model, the Wharfedale 10.2 does all this and more. Sporting a larger cabinet and driver, it features all of its smaller sibling's characteristics while delivering extra benefits.

The Power of the Larger Woofer and Strong Cabinet Walls
How does Wharfedale do it? Improving on past award-winning designs, the 10.2 features a soft-dome tweeter custom-made to present clear, high frequencies up to 30kHz. A 6.5-inch woofer and twin rear-firing ports bring up the bottom end and yield magnificent punch. Other enhancements, ranging from a low-profile chassis to stronger cabinet walls and a composite front-baffle panel, all contribute to reduced vibration, lower distortion, and increased rigidity. At Music Direct, we don't expect anything less from a British loudspeaker company that for more than 80 years has prized quality and innovation over all else.

Disappears Into the Surrounding Environment
Visually, the Diamond 10.2 practically disappears into its surrounding environment. Yet, even when you might notice it, you'll adore the elegantly curved cabinets and gorgeous finishes, with the latter available in three equally striking colors. The compact form extends to functionality. On the back, unlike many speakers whose parallel terminals cause problems with or outright prevent connections with thick cables, the 10.2 boasts offset bi-wire terminals that ensure the best-possible connectivity and allow for a wide range of options.

Music Direct Makes Your Decision Easier: Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed
Still debating your decision? Music Direct realizes the under-$500 speaker category is quite possibly the most-competitive field in audio. Breathe easier knowing that we promise your satisfaction with our Money-Back Guarantee. We honestly don't think you'll be sending back your 10.2s once you hear them, however. If anything, you might find yourself ordering more pairs to place throughout your house. They're that addicting. And that good.
